Coast Guard finds owner of unmanned kayak appears in bay

The United States Coast Guard has identified the owner of an unmanned kayak that was found in the Chesapeake Bay on Monday morning. The kayak held several possessions but did not have any marks that identified its owner, and the Coast Guard asked the public for help identifying them.

On Monday night, the Coast Guard announced that the owner of the kayak had been found safely on land.

The kayak was found adrift six miles east of Cape Henry, Virginia, at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, according to the Coast Guard.

Inside, there were a pair of flip flops, a camera and two water bottles with an end gun violence sticker and a Human Rights campaign logo sticker.

Anyone who recognized the kayak was encouraged to call Coast Guard Sector Virginia Command Center at 757-483-8567.

"Thank you all for your tips and support!" The Coast Guard said in a statement. "Every time we're able to bring a situation like this to a close, our command center staff has one less thing to keep track of in a very busy summer boating season."
