Dad and teenage son rescued after kayaks drift

Father and his 14-year-old son were rescued after getting into trouble while kayaking off north Cornwall near Boscastle, stranded on opposite sides of a rocky gully with about 1.5m waves.
Port Isaac RNLI put a crew member ashore to reassure them, brought both safely back to Boscastle Harbour, then spent over 2½ hours recovering and towing the drifting kayaks.
The incident triggered a multi‑agency response (Boscastle Coastguard, Falmouth operations) — a busy morning for teams and a handy reminder to check sea conditions and kit before heading out.
