Honolulu Fire Department and Ocean Safety personnel assisted a pair of one-man canoe paddlers Saturday as strong winds and high surf ushered what is expected to be a windy and rainy three-day weekend.

The two paddlers ran into trouble in windy conditions off Black Point and called for help about 11:30 a.m., according to Department of Emergency Services spokeswomann Shayne Enright. One of the two men experienced fatigue and was brought to Kaimana Beach via jet ski by Ocean Safety personnel.
