The official opening of Enniskillen RNLI’s new station was delayed over the weekend as the volunteer crew responded to a call out an hour just before the naming ceremony for the new lifeboat was due to get underway.
Just as the crew and invited guests were beginning to gather for Saturday's event, the volunteers’ pagers sounded at 1.05pm.
Belfast Coastguard requested the launch of the lifeboat to go to the aid of two people on a 23ft cruiser, which had broken down and was drifting towards rocks north of Castle Archdale.
