Lifeboats tasked by Belfast Coastguard at 18:03 following a report from a concerned member of the public of what appeared to be a capsized dinghy, approximately 500 metres from the mouth of the Six Mile River in Antrim.
Once on scene, and after speaking with the person who raised the alarm, it was confirmed that the object was in fact a weather monitoring station.
We’d like to give a sincere thank you to the member of the public who took the time to call it in. Looking out for each other and reporting anything that doesn’t seem right plays a vital role in keeping everyone safe on our Lough and waterways.
Crew returned to station and remain ready to respond whenever needed.
