Galvvay Bay - At 20 minutes past midnight on 22nd April, 1966, the coxswain informed the honorary secretary that a young man had been seriously injured in a fall from a motor scooter, and the doctor had requested the use of the life-boat to take the patient to the mainland for hospital treatment. As no other boat was available, the life-boat Mabel Marion Thompson embarked the injured man, together with a nurse, and set out from her moorings at i a.m. in a strong south-westerly wind and a rough sea. It was one hour after low water. The coxswain was unable to approach Rossaveel because of very poor visibility and, had to wait at the mouth of Cashla Bay until 4.45 before attempting the passage to the pier at Rossaveel. The patient was landed and taken to hospital..
