VIDEO: Dramatic footage shows lifeboat braving stormy seas to rescue fishing vessel

It’s enough to make you sea-sick at your desk.

A dramatic video has emerged of the rescue of a fishing vessel which was stranded in high seas off Orkney.

It shows the Stromness Lifeboat being faced by a massive wall of waves as it head further and further out.

The boat is seen rolling from side to side as it tries to cope with the huge swell.

Eventually the stricken O Genita appears in view.

The Spanish-crewed boat was left without use of its electronic equipment after being struck by a huge wave 20 miles north-west of Orkney.

The Sumburgh Coastguard helicopter can also be seen hovering above the stormy seas.

The lifeboat escorted the fishing boat back to Westray and the final shots of the film show the O Genita coming into moor at Pierowall.
