“The boat was believed to have left Chicago’s Burnham Harbor sometime Saturday, authorities said. It stopped in New Buffalo, Mich., and capsized on its way back to Burnham Harbor about 7 p.m., Chicago Fire Chief Joe Roccasalva said.
About 6 a.m. Sunday, a fishing boat captain spotted the owner of the boat 6 miles from the shoreline.
“He saw what he thought was a kayak,†Roccasalva said. “It turned out to be an adult male in a life jacket.â€
The man was suffering from hypothermia and was taken to Mercy Hospital and Medical Center in critical but stable condition, he said.
