A KAYAKER on an open top canoe had a lucky escape when strong currents and an offshore wind pushed him out to sea.
The unnamed man, who was not wearing a lifejacket, was a strong enough paddler to make it back to the shore before Campbeltown and Southend Coastguard arrived.
A Coastguard spokesperson said: ‘Coastguards gave the kayaker some advice about going out in poor conditions and wearing a life jacket.’
