Two kayakers used emergency beacons to signal distress off Beara Peninsula, Ireland, and were safely retrieved.

Two kayakers faced difficulties off Cod's Head, Beara Peninsula, and used their VHF radio and PLB to call for help. The Castletownbere RNLI lifeboat "Annette Hutton" was launched, and despite poor visibility, the kayakers managed to reach shore, with one kayak damaged. Both were found safe by the Castletownbere Coast Guard. The lifeboat and helicopter were stood down shortly after, with the lifeboat returning and being prepared for further service.
