KOHANAIKI — Four people were picked up by a passing charter boat Friday afternoon after their vessel capsized in waters off Kohanaiki.

Chopper 2 was dispatched, but when it arrived, the vessel, Honey, along with three other boats and a personal water craft were already on the scene assisting the four passengers.
The capsized vessel was towed to Honokohau Small Boat Harbor by the Honey. No injuries were reported.
