A 34-year-old man was treated at a hospital for hypothermia after spending about 90 minutes in the waters off Long Island following some sort of kayak mishap, officials say.
The man's friend called 911 around 5:45 p.m. Sunday to report him missing. He had last been spotted west of Reeves Beach in Suffolk County.
Riverhead police and Suffolk aviation officers were able to spot him about a mile north of the beach. He was trying to stay afloat on his back in the water; the overturned kayak wasn't far from him.
They plucked him out and brought him to safety.
There was no immediate update on his condition Monday.
