The kayaker was last seen in Lake Michigan. 

Water temperature is around 40 degrees. 

Winds as of 5:00 PM were 30 MPH and waves were 5 to 8-feet high.

Port Washington Officers were dispatched and a Port Washington Police Officer came across one adult male who had made it to shore on the south side of Coal Dock Park and appeared to be suffering from exposure. That individual was transported for medical treatment.

Search and rescue efforts by the Port Washington Fire Department are currently underway for the second individual. The US Coast Guard has also been notified and is responding to assist.
