HM Coastguard tasked LNR at 19:55 to a broken down Bayliner 26ft boat with 2 persons on board between Rams Island & Gawleys Gate. Ardboe lifeboat launched and proceeded to that area and with no sign of vessel, continued to search south and found the vessel at Bartins Bay. All vessel crew was fine so proceeded to set up a tow back to Kinnego Marina. On route we RV’d with Kinnego Lifeboat who took over tow back to Kinnego Marina and handed vessel crew over to the care of our local coastguard team.
