Lifeboat rescues charity sailor caught in ferocious storm off Scottish coast
Ronán Siochrú, 21, arrived back at Cork Airport safe and well late last night, thanks to Aer Arann where he was welcomed home by his relieved parents, Tadgh and Mary, and family.
Ronán left Kinsale last Friday on board his 21ft Arctic Angel to raise funds for the Irish Cancer Society. But he was lashed by gale force winds on Wednesday and was plucked from mountainous seas 50 miles off the coast of Barra Head in the Outer Hebrides late on Wednesday night.
