Overdue kayakers appear OK

Word late this morning is that four overdue kayakers on section three of the Chattooga appear to be OK and are making progress down river.  Rescue teams are hiking nearby trails and paddling the river in an attempt to reach the party to assure their safety. At this time, according to Oconee County’s Charlioe King, “We believe the boaters are not in distress only delayed due to low water on the river.”
