Three anglers rescued after boat capsized off Waterford coast

One man managed to swim to shore and the remaining three were recovered by the Tramore RNLI inshore lifeboat crew.

FOUR ANGLERS GOT into difficulty this afternoon when their boat capsized off the coast of Waterford.

Volunteer lifeboat crew with Tramore RNLI responded to a callout at 1.43pm when the six metre half decker boat capsized with four men onboard halfway between Brownstown Head and Rhinashark off the Waterford coast.

One man managed to swim to shore and the remaining three were recovered by the Tramore RNLI inshore lifeboat crew. One of the three men was airlifted off the lifeboat by the Coast Guard helicopter and taken to hospital.

It is believed the men were in the water for up to half an hour before they were rescued.

“I am relieved that all four men are safe after their boat capsized. They were wearing life-jackets which provided the necessary buoyancy to keep them afloat while they clung to the upturned vessel,” said Derek Musgrave, Tramore RNLI lifeboat operations manager.

It was the fourth sea rescue in the last day.

    Suffering from that bug since early this morning and only now feel like I’m really not going to die. Feel very sorry for anyone already feeling poorly in hospital who gets it

    That’s just good advice for anything run by the HSE.

    As a rule, I never complain about people red thumbing comments, but if everyone who red thumbed comments like Michele’s clicked ‘Report this comment’ instead, spam would be a lot less prevalent on The Journal comment threads.

    They’ll have to call it the all-year-round vomiting bug now.
    That said I feel sorry for people who have it and those people who can’t make hopital visits or those who can’t receive them.

    Schools, hospitals, hostels, aircraft. Anywhere that groups of people spend time together.
    About 2 days to incubate, 2 days symptomatic, 2 days to clear the virus. Unfortunately people feel so wretched with it thy attend hospital, particularly if they vomit a little blood. The bug is spread by hand mouth and by aerosol and is horribly infectious. Hospital outbreaks make the news, but schools etc are fairly regularly closed by it.

    Someone should tell the HSE!

    “A Contingency Management group are now requesting that self-referral patients in the border areas of West Sligo and East Mayo – who would normally attend the Emergency Department Sligo -could consider attending Mayo General Hospital.”
