Due to a backoffice software update we have been unable to update our callout log recently. Apologies so here are the the two we missed.
At 16.22 on Sunday 25th while attending the Blessing of the Boats Ceremony at Clontarf Yacht Club Howth Coast Guard were tasked to the Bull wall where MRCC Dublin had received a 999 call of a kitesurfer in trouble. The team went to the scene along with two ribs with CG personnel on board. They found a kitesurfer who had lost his board and had been blown across the rocky breakwater at the end of the wall. The team stood by until the kitesurfer had recovered himself to the steps on the wall.
