Three men were taken to hospital with hypothermia after falling into Lake St. Clair but will live to set sail another day thanks to the Canadian Coast Guard.
The Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Trenton called in the coast guard's Inshore Rescue Boat Crew from the Thames River Friday - the crew used its inflatable boat to pull the Americans from the water after their small boat capsized.
Officials remind boaters an approved life jacket must be onboard for every passenger and they must be worn while on the vessel.
Only two of the three men had a life jacket on when they were plucked from the water.
