Two boys aged 13 and 16 were shivering and scared but otherwise uninjured after spending five harrowing hours fighting waves up to two metres high in a rowboat on Tuesday.
“The wind picked up and away they went,” said Jason Chaddick, uncle of the older boy.
They were found near Christian Island after harsh weather conditions swept them away from relatives near Wasaga Beach.
Both were wearing their life jackets.
They stayed with the boat and were rescued about 8 miles offshore.
