Lifeboats tasked by HMCG. A fisherman had been stranded on Rams Island after his dinghy had broken loose from its tether and drifted away.
As a gesture of good neighbourliness the errant dinghy was located and returned to the fisherman.
Lifeboat tasked to a tasked to a yacht apparently aground outside of Kinnego Bay. On closer inspection the vessel was in no danger and boats where stood down.
Presented today in Kinnego, a cheque for £100.00. Many thanks to the club for including us in their charitable donations.
Tasked by HMCG at 21.00hrs to s 24ft Sports Cruiser aground on the Skane Flat. There where 4 POB including a child. The Harbour Masters RIB from Kinnego was already in attendance. The tow was taken over and the vessel taken to Kinnego.
One point of note, when the Lifeboat returned to Kinnego it was met by a loud round of applause by quite a number of campers, visitors etc on the quayside. Not something you see everyday, but appreciated by the crew just the same.
Old video but worth repeating.
A big thank you to the students at Queen’s who supported Lough Neagh Rescue and raised £2000.00 to help save lives on Lough Neagh.
Thanks go to Lisburn Scouts who donated their “dues” to the tune of £50.00. Thanks Guys and Gals, very much appreciated!!
Great day with all sorts of distractions for the crew, £871.74 raised. We also took the opportunity of booking the delivery of Santa again this Christmas to the Meadows.
Thanks to Adrian and all the Staff for all your support.
@ 12:21 HMCG paged LNR to a 999 incident just off Antrim, a vessel was adrift, sinking and reported to be on fire, there where 5 POB. Two Lifeboats made all speed to Antrim, where casualty vessel was spotted near rocks behind the torpedo launch site. Life boat crew rescued the casualties on board by carrying them from vessel to shore where they were safe & dry and looked after by HMCG shore team.
Lifeboats managed to recover casualty vessel off the rock s and safely bring it to a mooring at Antrim marina. An onshore wind at the time would probably have destroyed the vessel.
Both KLB & ALB returned to base 14 20 hrs.
Wind SE force 2
