Two anglers were rescued on Saturday evening after their boat was struck by what's being described as a "freak wave" in north Donegal.
Lough Swilly RNLI was tasked by Malin Head Coast Guard to remove the two men from their vessel.
The alarm was raised just off Carryblagh, when the two anglers making their way back from a day’s fishing were struck unexpectedly by the violent wave, injuring one of the men.
The injured casualty was transferred to another lifeboat to receive first aid and treatment, before being transferred by boat to an awaiting ambulance at Buncrana Pier.
In a statement released following the rescue operation, Lough Swilly RNLI press officer Joe Joyce paid tribute to the crew.
He also reminded the public if they get into difficulty in or on the water, or see someone in trouble, to dial 999 or 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.
