While returning from an incident in Loughshinney, the Skerries team were tasked to investigate reports of a large yacht aground on rocks near Skerries harbour. Upon arriving at the scene, the Skerries team observed the yacht already aground on large rocks at the back of Skerries harbour. The owner was at the scene and was planning to attempt to refloat the yacht later that night. The yacht appeared to have broken free from moorings in the harbour area and was pushed towards the rocks by the strong westerly winds. No further action was required and the Skerries team returned to base.
