Volunteers with Courtmacsherry Lifeboat rescued two boat owners who had gotten into difficulty while out boating in West Cork last evening.
The crew members responded to a Mayday call from one speed boat owner that the boat was taking on water and in danger of sinking.
Around the same time volunteers responded another shout that a second boat was also in trouble near by .
Thankfully a local boat owner was close to where the boats were in trouble and was able to assist.
The Courtmacsherry RNLI Lifeboat Operations Manager Brian O Dwyer said that � It was good that all ended well this evening on what could have been very dangerous incidents for all concerned� Brian added �that the fast response of local Rory Conlon to the call for help on the VHF radio was vital and pleaded with everyone at sea on boats to make sure that Lifejackets are worn at all times and call for help immediately by dialling 112 or 999 and asking for the Coast Guard�
