They explained they had lost communication with two people from a kayaking trip in Galway Bay.
They had been able to radio the kayak rental to let them know that they had been blown ashore.
A member of the kayak team went to help but with the strong wind, was unable to bring them back to the harbour.
The lifeboat launched and spotted the people in the kayaks a half mile away from Cill Rónain pier.
They were struggling to paddle against the wind and were being blown ashore onto the rocks.
The RNLI crew transferred all three people who were exhausted but uninjured and their kayaks safely back to Cill Rónain harbour.
