12 February: Clifden Four experienced fish farmers were working at the mouth of Clifden Bay in Galway when a storm left them stranded and they called for assistance. The Clifden inshore lifeboat rode through huge waves to reach them, caught on camera. Arriving in challenging, gusty conditions, the volunteers could see three of the men on a 5m boat tied to a large fish cage on top of which stood the fourth man. All four were safely taken onboard the lifeboat and back to shore.
