Kayaker rescued by RNLI

A kayaker was rescued by the RNLI this week.

Peel Lifeboat was called out just after 5pm on Wednesday to help find the kayaker - around 18 miles west of Peel.

The casualty had been kayaking from the Isle of Man since early morning and making his way to Northern Ireland. 

However, he raised the alarm for help when he became fatigued and disoriented after nine hours at sea.

Peel Lifeboat and her volunteer crew were on scene by 18:15 and quickly found the casualty with help from a search and rescue helicopter and a passing ferry.

He was taken onboard the lifeboat and back to the wheelhouse - where he was checked over by paramedics and warmed up with pizza.
