A yacht has been safe in poor conditions after being assisted by Lough Swilly RNLI’s all weather lifeboat crew.
The Coast Guard launched an operation on Thursday afternoon after receiving an alert that the boat was in difficulty.
A spokesperson for Lough Swilly outlined the operation, saying: “At 10.23am today, Thursday, June 13, Lough Swilly RNLI were tasked by Malin Head Coastguard Radio to assist a yacht that was having difficulty mooring near Portsalon in poor conditions.
“The All Weather Lifeboat was launched at Buncrana Pier and the volunteer crew quickly made their way to the yacht with two people onboard.
“The volunteers helped secure the yacht and when they were happy with both boat and crew, they returned to Buncrana, refuelled and made ready for service.
“Remember if you see someone in difficulty in or on the water, dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.”
