UPDATE:

13WMAZ's Paula Rotondo reported around 2 p.m. that the two men were back on shore and appeared very emotional while greeting friends and family. They have no visible injuries, but are dehydrated.

One of them is being taken to the Dodge Co. hospital. A family member tells me he is a diabetic and his blood sugar is extremely high.
