Lifeboat in search and rescue operation
for angling boat lost in fog
The RNLI all weather lifeboat Hilda Jarrett was tasked by
Valencia Coastguard at 20:45 to go to the assistance of a
vessel lost in fog. The small angling boat with one person
on board had become lost in dense fog near Heir Island, in
Roaringwater Bay, West Cork.
Coxswain Kieran Cotter and his crew carried out a search in
dense fog West of Heir Island and succeeded in quickly locating
the stricken vessel. The single occupant of the leisure angling
boat had not sustained injury and the lifeboat towed her back
to Cunnamore Pier before returning to Baltimore Harbour.
On board the Baltimore lifeboat, for this
service were Coxwain – Kieran Cotter, Mechanic Jerry
Smith, Crewmembers Brendan Cottrell, Pat Collins, Eoin Ryan,
Torsten Marten & Ronnie Carthy Slip crew ; Rianne Smith,
& Kate Callanan
