The Coast Guard is searching for a possible missing kayaker in the Kaulakahi Channel off Kauai, Sunday. Watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector Honolulu received notification from the charter vessel HOLO HOLO that reported sighting an unmanned 15-foot yellow, two-person inflatable kayak adrift approximately seven miles seaward of Barking Sands Beach, Kauai. The only marking is a Pacific Extreme label. A red life jacket and a black and yellow paddle towel were found aboard. The charter vessel monitored the area and no one appeared to be in distress. An MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point was launched to the scene to search for anyone in distress.
