Incident 31/12
While on patrol yesterday the Howth Coast Guard boat 'Grainne' was tasked to a small speed boat with three persons onboard which needed assistance in returning to the harbour safely. The weather conditions on scene had worsened from earlier in the day and the boat had been caught out in rough conditions so Grainne and her crew stood by and escorted the boat back to Howth harbour. All on board were well and wore suitable PFDs.
