Lifeboat crews were called to an emergency in East Lothian on Monday lunchtime.
North Berwick Volunteer crews were paged at 12.44pm on Saturday as kayakers were plunged into the chilly waters after their boats capsized.
One of the kayakers' boat tipped over and he struggled to get back into it due to the temperature of the water. While trying to help his friend, the other kayaker was thrown into the water when his boat capsized too. Using a hand-held VHF radio they were able to issue a Pan Pan emergency.
