Callout on Tuesday November 27th 2007

A local fishing vessel, with two people on board, got into trouble at the mouth of Clifden Bay when its hydraulics became entangled with the steering mechanism. The D-Class Lifeboat, Grainne Uaile, was tasked to go to the assistance of the vessel and, with one of the RNLI crew on board, the vessel was successfully towed into Clifden Harbour. The D-Class then returned to its launch site to be
recovered and returned to Station.
