Engine Trouble

SKERRIES | 8 SEPTEMBER
Four people needed our Skerries volunteers when their motorboat had electrical problems and they couldn’t start the engine. The RNLI crew launched just after 11am, quickly locating the group off Lambay Island and towing them to the safety of Rush Harbour. Gerry Canning, volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer, said: ‘Sometimes, no matter how well prepared you are, things can go wrong. Thankfully another boat spotted the danger and called the Coast Guard.’
