Lough Swilly RNLI tasked to jetski rescue last night



Lough Swilly RNLI were tasked to a callout last night to aid someone who got into difficulty on a jetski.

The crew were paged by Malin Head Coast Guard.

The incident occurred at around 9.25pm.

The jetski had developed mechanical problems just off Saltpans.

The Inshore Lifeboat was launched and the volunteer crew quickly established a tow and took the jetski to the safety of Inch Pier.

The crew then returned to Ned’s Point to refuel and make ready for service.

IT’s understood the owner of the jetski was very experienced, and this proved crucial in the quick and easy nature of the rescue.

Lough Swilly RNLI are reminding people that if they get into difficulty on the water, they can be contacted on 999 or 112, and by asking for the Coast Guard.
