Arklow RNLI volunteers braved stormy conditions to carry out two daring rescues in one night, assisting the crew of a stranded fishing vessel and helping save two men who had fallen into the icy waters at Arklow Harbour.
Volunteers from Arklow RNLI launched in the early hours of Thursday morning to make their fifth rescue of the week, after reports of a lone sailor in difficulty.
In the early hours of Monday morning Arklow RNLI were called to help a sailing vessel that had lost power and was adrift three miles south, south east off the Arklow coast
