Pagers activated at 6.25pm last evening ( Tuesday 11 October) to attend a person cut off by the tide at White Bay. The high tide was fast approaching and the casualty was soaked by the incoming waves.
The RNLI lifeboat under the command of Alan Venner, with Claire Morgan, Jonny Bermingham and James Fegan arrived on scene shortly before dusk.
In what was a challenging rescue, the crew had to anchor the lifeboat and veer down into a a rock strewn gulley whilst being buffeted by 3 to 4 foot waves.
Jonny Bermingham, and Alan Venner went ashore to help the very cold patient onto the lifeboat. As the casualty was showing signs of hypothermia, an ambulance met the lifeboat at the station and the casualty was handed into the care of the National Ambulance Service.
Guileen Coast Guard unit were also tasked and provided much needed illumination of the area from the cliff tops. Lifeboat Doctor, Dr John Murphy also attended the casualty at the station.
