The Lough Derg RNLI crew were called into action twice yesterday.
The first was shortly after 1 o’clock when they were tasked to assist two people on a 32 foot cruiser which had gone aground by the Silver Islands near Terryglass.
Then at 4.30pm a Mayday call was received from a 16 foot motorboat with four people on board. The vessel was taking on water in rough weather near Parker’s Point.
