3:34 PM: Rescuers are headed to 63rd/Beach Drive to look for a report of two people on a raft that might be having trouble getting back to shore. More to come.

3:38 PM UPDATE: Via scanner, we’re hearing that the scene is a bit further south, by the Harbor West condos-on-pilings, and that Harbor Patrol has made contact with the two people, “neither in need of medical attention, all persons accounted for,” so most of the rescue response will be canceled.

  It was a full “salt-water rescue response” for a bit, and that’s why.

  If so, it’s just a TV chopper trying to catch up. Public safety helicopter NOT deployed, and the people are long since out of the water.
