10 Year Old Boy Stuck on Sandbar
We were dispatched for a report of a 10 year old boy that was stuck on a sandbar just north of The Point in Lockwoods Folly Inlet. The tide was rising, causing current to push him further from shore until he reached a sandbar. He was wearing a life jacket, but was unable to paddle faster than the current and wind pushing him the opposite direction. We launched boat 4490 from Blue Water Point Marina, as well as the drone, and proceeded towards Lockwoods Folly Inlet. As we were nearing The Point, Oak Island Fire Department and Oak Island Police Department advised us the boy had been picked up by another boater in the area and was already safely on the beach.
