One of the boarders told the WLUC reporter that the wind became too strong when the four paddled away from shore and that the wind carried them further out when they attempted to paddle back to safety.

EMS stated that no one was injured.

A warning was issued Friday advising those that want to go out on the water to use cause due to the windy conditions.
