Paddleboarder found safe after extensive search in Charlottetown Harbour

A man reported missing while paddleboarding off Victoria Park in Charlottetown was found safe after a search involving local fire departments and a helicopter. He was last seen between 8 and 9 a.m., and an empty paddleboard was spotted around 10 a.m., leading to concerns for his safety. The search was prompted by a caller who mistakenly identified a piece of ice as the man's paddleboard. In a separate incident, search efforts were conducted for a missing kayaker off Channel Islands Harbor in Oxnard, California, after an unattended kayak filled with fishing gear was discovered. The search for the kayaker was called off shortly after midnight with no sign of the individual. Both incidents highlight the importance of safety measures while engaging in water activities.
