Stricken crew rescued on trip to Isle of Man

Two people fired flares to be located

Two people had to be rescued last night when their vessel lost power en-route to the Isle of Man.

The 46-foot long Bayliner broke down in the Irish sea between the Island and Anglesey, having travelled from Cornwall.

It had to be towed to Holyhead once it had been found by the local RNLI crew there.

Due to poor communications the stricken craft had to fire off two flares to be located.

Both crew members were fatigued but otherwise well after their ordeal.
