As the lifeboat crew were concluding the previous incident, a second call came in – a yacht had become caught in weeds and was also in shallow water. Crews quickly responded to the scene, secured the vessel and those onboard, and established a tow to safely return the yacht to shore.
The lifeboat returned to station at 19:50 and was fully refuelled, checked and made ready for re-tasking.
Thanks to Belfast Coastguard for coordination and assistance.
