Loch Ness RNLI on exercise with Portpatrick Relief

Last week we spent some time with a crew from Portpatrick Lifeboat, who were on passage back to their lifeboat station via the Caledonian Canal with relief ALB 16-10 Our crew were able to take the Tamar class lifeboat in both a stern and an alongside tow - hugely valuable for the crew here at Loch Ness. Being landlocked, we have no flanking station and so rarely have the opportunity to exercise with other lifeboats. A big thank you to Portpatrick for being so accommodating!

16/05/19 - Following a report of a group of overdue canoeists, the Loch Ness lifeboat team were tasked to carry out a search of the area.
The lifeboat carried out a search of the northern shore, up to the beach at Lochend, before spotting the group on the shore near Tor Point.
After establishing that everyone was safe and well, the lifeboat was stood down by the coastguard, and the lifeboat returned to station.
