Bunbeg Coast Guard stood down in search for kayaker



Bunbeg Coast Guard was tasked yesterday evening by the Main Head Coastguard following reports of a kayaker in distress west of Bloody Foreland Point.

The boat team carried out a detailed search of the area while the drone team and members of the shore team searched the coastline.

Following an extensive search, it was determined that nobody was in need of assistance and all resources were stood down.

Upon returning to station the boat team was re-tasked, this time to assist a small powerboat in difficulty close to Gola Island.

The boat team arrived on scene within minutes, before towing the vessel back to Bunbeg Harbour.

This was the Bunbeg team’s third callout in a 24 hour period.
