The Lough Derg RNLI assisted a family of four who’s boat engine was overheating in the lake.
The boat was spotted midway between Garrykennedy and Ryan’s Point at Youghal Bay yesterday evening.
All four people on board were safe and unharmed and wearing their lifejackets.
Due to the weather conditions which were rough it was decided to take the vessel under tow to the safety of Garrykennedy public harbour.
Jeremy Freeman, Deputy Launching Authority at Lough Derg RNLI is advising boat users to ‘ensure their engines are serviced and that you have a means of communication should you get into difficulty on the water’.
