"Crews in Westernport responded to an EPIRB Activation at 1900hrs this evening. The EPIRB was identified to have come from a Kayaker off Stony Point.
Fortunately the kayaker was able to swim ashore on French Island and was rescued by Ambulance Victoria Air Ambulance and transported to hospital.."

I saw another report saying it was an experienced sea kayaker who set off a PLB. There were also a few boats caught out unexpectedly in it.

That's great news that he was found ! just show plb,s are a must when fishing by your self ?
