A drug treatment counselor, who has been seven years sober, was rescued in extraordinary fashion after his kayak flipped on a family trip in early August.
Jimmy MacDonald, from Albany, paddled his kayak a distance away from his wife and step-children at Lake George, New York, so that he could take photos with his new smartphone. Relaxed and distracted, he didn’t notice that the waters around him were growing increasingly choppy until it was too late.
