Lake Michigan Beach
A group of kids from Fond du Lac needed help when they found themselves far from the Lake Michigan shore on Sunday.
The four, ages 10, 11 and 13, were playing with pool noodles and floaties off Kohler-Andrae State Park at around 3:30 when a 9-1-1 caller reported the group had been pushed out several hundred yards by brisk offshore winds and needed help. Crews from Coast Guard Station Sheboygan responded and picked two of the group from the water, while the two others were able to make it to shore on their own.
There were no injuries during the operation, which also drew participation from the County Dive Team and several local fire departments.
