At 17:08hrs HM Coastguard tasked LNR to reports of a vessel in difficulty off Gawleys Gate. The casualty vessel was located by Ardboe Lifeboat in the Lady Bay Area. Following an inspection and consent to tow from the skipper on board the vessel the Lifeboat towed the vessel into Gawleys Gate and handed into the care of the awaiting Coastguard team.
Lifeboat returned to base and made ready for the next tasking.
For emergencies on Lough Neagh and it’s tributary rivers call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
