The crew of Baltimore lifeboat went to support flood rescue efforts
in Skibbereen last Thursday. The eight crewmen who made their way to
Skibbereen that evening were Cathal Cottrell, Aidan Bushe, Youen
Jacob, Ronan Calnan, Ronan Sheehy, John McDonagh, John O’Flynn and John
Rochford. They were well equipped for the task wearing RNLI dry suits,lifejackets and using borrowed dinghies.
They assisted by ferrying stranded home and business owners to safety and with a vast experience of sea rescue were able to put people at their ease in difficult conditions.
