Boot aufgelaufen bei Carrigahorig Bay Lough Derg
33ft Cruiser aufgelaufen bei Carrigahorig Bay
Am Samstag den 17. September 2011 kommt das Lough Derg Rettungsboot „Toshiba Wave Warrior“ zwei Personen zu Hilfe, die an Bord eines 33ft Cruiser bei Carrigahorig Bay, in der Nähe Portumna, am nördlichen Ende des Lough Derg auf Felsen aufgelaufen sind. Das Boot hatte bereits erhebliche Mengen an Wasser aufgenommen.
Da die mitgeführte Pumpe des Rettungsbootes es nicht schaffte das Wasser aus dem Boot zu fördern, wurde eine zweite Pumpe aus Portumna über Strassentransport besorgt.
Der Einsatz der beiden Pumpen reichte jedoch nicht aus das Boot wieder schwimmfähig zu machen, deshalb entschloß das Rettungsteam aus Portumna eine noch stärkere Pumpe zu besorgen. Da dieses auch nicht den gewünschten Erfolg brachte, wurden die beiden Besatzungsmitglieder vom RNLI Rettungsboot nach Portumna gebracht.
Der Eigentümer will sein Boot bei Tageslicht wieder flott zu machen.

Motorschaden auf Lough Derg
Mit Motorschaden auf Lough Derg
Am am Freitag den 16. September trieben 3 Personen an Bord eines 28ft Motorbootes mit Motorschaden hilflos auf Lough Derg nahe der Mountaineer Boje. Bei Wind aus West/Südwest mit Stärke 4, wurde die Sicht wegen zunehmender Dunkelheit schlechter. Nach Driften über einige Distanz hatte der Skipper den Anker gesetzt um ein auf Grund laufen zu vermeiden.
Das Rettungsboot entdeckte sie hinter den Carrigeen Islands nahe des Ufers auf der Westseite Höhe Dromman Harbour. Die drei Personen an Bord waren alle wohlauf, und trugen ihre Rettungswesten. Das RNLI-Rettungsboot schleppte das Boot nach Dromineer Harbour.

Verdammt viel Glück im Unglück hatten gestern drei Segler auf Lough Derg in der Nähe von Hare Island, die bei Südwestwind der Stärke 6 und einem entsprechend hohen Wellengang über Bord ihres Segelbootes gegangen waren. Auf dem einzigen weiteren Boot in diesem Bereich vernahm ein Segler während einer Wende die Hilferufe und löste den Rettungsalarm aus. Das RNLI-Rettungsboot aus Dromineer eilte zu Hilfe. Zwei der drei Segler wurden von dem aufmerksam gewordenen Segelboot aus dem Wasser gerettet, die dritte Person war jedoch aus den Augen verloren worden. Der Rettungshubschrauber Rescue 115 wurde alarmiert und auch das Rettungsboot der Coast Guard Station in Killaloe eilte herbei. Nach einer systematischen Suche wurde nach wenigen Minuten von der Crew des RNLI Bootes die dritte Person ca. 400 – 500 m entfernt entdeckt. Zwei der drei Verunglückten wurden mit dem RNLI-Boot und die dritte im Killaloe Coast Guard Boot nach Dromineer gebracht, wo der Rettungshubschrauber sie aufnahm und ins Limerick Regional Hospital brachte. Die drei hatten etwa 30 Minuten im Wasser verbracht. Das Rettungsboot fuhr noch einmal zu der Unglücksstelle, jedoch fehlte von der gesunkenen Yacht jede Spur.
Hier die Originalmeldung von RNLI Lough Derg:
At 17.04hrs Saturday September 10, Lough Derg RNLI Lifeboat was requested to launch by Valentia Coast Guard following a report of two persons in the water off Hare Island, on Lough Derg. At 17.15hrs, the lifeboat was launched with Helm Colin knight, Johnny Hoare and Ger Egan on board, and was on scene 17.20hrs. The wind was southwest, force 6, with a 5ft to 6ft swell, visibility was good.
When the RNL lifeboat arrived on scene, a passing yacht was recovering two persons onto their yacht, but had lost a visual on the third person. The lifeboat immediately carried out a search pattern, located the third casualty some four or five hundred metres away, and recovered them to the lifeboat.
Tasked by Valentia Coast Guard, the Irish Coast Guard Search & Rescue Helicopter team, Rescue 115, took off from their base at Shannon at 17.34hrs. Killaloe Coast Guard had also launched to assist. After establishing that the RNLI lifeboat could be at their station within 5 minutes, Rescue 115 requested the crew to take the casualties to Dromineer from where they5 would transfer the casualties to hospital.
The RNLI lifeboat returned to the yacht, and took a second casualty on board. Killaloe Coast Guard boat took the third person. All were then rushed back to Drominneer where they were met by the helicopter and transferred to Limerick Regional hospital for further treatment.
The lifeboat then returned to ‚The Hare‘ to see if the sunken vessel was a navigational hazard, but there was no sign of wreckage or of the yacht. The lifeboat returned to station and was ready for service again at 18.50hrs.
Lifeboat Helm Colin Knight said „these three people were very very lucky; the passing yacht only became aware of their plight when, on tacking, one of sailors heard calls for help on the wind and raised the alarm“. He continued, „the persons were in the water for at least thirty minutes, in fairly hostile conditions, when the only boat in the vicinity heard their calls for help, someone was looking after them today“.
