- Details
The Galway RNLI Lifeboat was involved in two call outs yesterday evening.
At about 6pm, it was towing a 25-foot yacht - which had come loose from its moorings - back to Hare Island when reports came through of a missing kayaker.
The lifeboat was joined by the Shannon rescue helicopter and the German youth was found at Maree/Oranmore.
His gear had failed but he had managed to make his way ashore.
