Saturday August 28

The Clifden Lifeboat D-Class was launched on the evening of Saturday August 28th after a Coastguard Launch Request was made. Two fishermen had gotten into difficulty when their inflatable dinghy sprung a leak and had to swim approximately 100 metres to nearby Crump Island off Renvyle Point. The two men were safe and well, although cold, and were very pleased to be assisted by the Lifeboat Crew.
The month of August was otherwise quiet, with the lifeboat also attending a craft that was experiencing engine problems off Aughrus Point and escorting it safely back to shore.
