This weekend, several members of the Skerries Coast Guard team participated in a combined unit exercise (CUE) hosted by our flank station in Drogheda. The exercise was held over the course of two days and was also attended by members of the Greenore, Skerries and Howth Coast Guard stations.
The first day of action took place in the difficult terrain around Slane castle, where the Coast Guard teams were faced with a series of gruelling physical and mental challenges. These included team members having to swim sections of the fast flowing Boyne river in full rescue kit.
On the following day the action moved to the coastal area of Mornigton for an at-sea rescue scenario.
Thanks to our flank station Drogheda for hosting this excellent training event.
