SANTA BARBARA, Calif. Oct 03, 2014- Kayakers used the distress mayday calll to get help twice on Friday near Point Conception. Lou and Charles Christman had been fishing for sea bass when they heard the first call about 60 miles north of the Santa Barbara Harbor where they put their boat named Elizabeth Ann in the water. They found one kayak fisherman clinging to a kayak damaged by a great white shark.  They rescued the kayaker and two of this friends.
