According to news reports, a kayaker was "run over" in thick fog by a Navy hovercraft here in St. Andrews Bay. The paddler, who was "covered with blood", was spotted by the Florida Water Patrol when he returned to a ramp. He was given a verbal warning for "having a light in his possession and failing to use it. The kayaker was treated and released at a local hospital.
