The Irish Coast Guard Unit from Howth were undertaking helm training with a passage to the Irish Coast Guard unit at Drogheda to support the Drogheda Marina launch on the Boyne River.
A vessel planning to take part in the flotilla lost power on the Drogheda Bar and requested assistance from the Irish Coast Guard. The Howth unit responded and took the ski-boat with 4 persons on-board under tow.
While returning the boat to safety, a mother and child suffering from serious sea-sickness in a second vessel were also transferred to the Coast Guard boat.
The boat under tow and the persons aboard were handed over to Drogheda Coast Guard at the shore.
