He was found beached on someone's private residence. They drove him to Dennis Point Marina to be reunited with his father.

Actually north of Sheetz. And its a canoe/kayak lauch. I know those are boats, but I dont want folks thinking you can launch much from there. Not even a ramp, really, just a platform above the water.

What happened? Did he get turned around and lose his way?

Unsure. When he paddled past Windmill Point, the caller stated the he looked OK, other than paddling a bit slow. There was some confusion as to the actual destination, originally they stated 'St. Mary's Yacht Center.' That was then changed to St. Mary's College, per the father, but they wound up meeting back at the St. Mary's Yacht Center. In all likelihood, the kayaker was just tired and wound up giving up and beached on the closest thing that looked comfortable.
