Maryland State Police dispatched a helicopter to rescue three stranded jet skiers on Talbot County’s Skipton Creek on Friday.  Police say three 18-year-old women were jet skiing when they became stranded in the creek’s deep mud and shallow water. Due to the shallowness of the water, and the muddy conditions, rescue boats were unable to reach the women, and Maryland State Police Aviation Command’s Trooper 6 based out of Easton was requested.  Temperatures at the time were reported at 99 degrees with a heat index of 115, underscoring the necessity of a quick rescue, police say.  According to authorities, all three riders were hoisted from the scene uninjured.
