'This was a frightening experience for the kayaker'

Helmed by Pat O'Driscoll, with crew members Davy Ryan, Eoin O’Driscoll, and John Kearney Jnr, Baltimore lifeboat was launched at 4.50pm. 

A kayaker was rescued by Baltimore RNLI after her kayak was being blown into rocks off Sherkin Island after getting into difficulty due to winds on Wednesday evening. 

The alarm was raised by the kayaker which led the Irish Coast Guard to request the assistance of the RNLI shortly before 5pm.
