Two people have been rescued after their jet ski encountered difficulty in the water.
The Donaghadee RNLI volunteer crew was tasked to the scene at around 11:40am yesterday morning.
The pair was rescued north of Burial Island, and their jet ski towed back to land.
Donaghadee RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager Peter Irwin said, ‘ Following the call for assistance we were able to locate the jet ski with two people onboard quickly in what was worsening conditions, thanks to the quick thinking of a member of the public alerting the Coastguard.’
‘We would remind anyone going to sea to carry a means of communication in case of emergency, and let someone know when they are due to be back. Thanks to our volunteer crew who gave up their New Years Day plans in response to the page.’
