Life-saving volunteers from the Lough Swilly RNLI were called to action today after a small pleasure boat broke down on Lough Swilly.
The alarm was raised at approx 4.30pm this Saturday afternoon when Malin Head Coast Guard Radio tasked the Lough Swilly RNLI crew to assist a 26ft bayliner which had developed mechanical issues. The boat had two people onboard.
The RNLI crew safely towed the boat into Fahan Marina before returning to Ned’s Point to refuel and make ready for service.
“Many thanks to the crew of Nomad for their assistance today,” a spokesperson said.
“Remember if you’re in difficulty in or on the water, or see someone in trouble, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.”
