This evening, the volunteers of Skerries Coast Guard took part in a large scale coastal search exercise covering the area from Laytown, Co Meath right up to and including Donabate, Co Dublin. The exercise was based on the scenario of the team being tasked to search for a vessel at sea in their area of responsibility. Several separate search teams took part with the Skerries station acting as the local coordination base.

Weather conditions throughout the area were fair with good visibility.
