Boat Adrift on Lough Derg

Killaloe Coast Guard was called to assist a 16’ Day Cruiser that was adrift off Ryninch Lower approx. two miles NE of Killaloe. A member of the public who observed the crew waving for assistance rang the local Gardai who then contacted the Irish Coast Guard. Due to a 19km WSW wind there was immediate danger of the boat being blown on to rocks. The Coast Guard arrived within 10minutes of the alarm
