The unmistakable sound of the Coast Guard’s Rescue 117 helicopter circling Wexford Harbour and up the River Slaney towards Ferrycarrig set hearts racing late last night.
Both Rosslare and Wexford RNLI volunteers quickly mobilised shortly after 5 p.m. on Tuesday evening to come to the assistance of four people who had become stranded on a boat that had suffered engine failure just outside Wexford Harbour.
