Motorcrusier division. Go read the story. It's a bit scary, frankly. Remember when you're on there- not everyone in charge of a boat has a clue about what the hell they're doing.

I read this on the BBC website this morning. How is it possible to confuse the Isle of Sheppey and the UK?
Graeme, isn't this your neck of the woods?  |

Nooowah! That's the north coast just along from Whitstabewel. They wave to each other all the time that lot..(mostly cos they're very closely related)

Read this in the metro this morning. Apparently the coastguard gave him some advice and he just decided to re-fuel and try again. I believe his parting comment was 'so do I turn left or right after I leave?' The navy should have special powers to torpedo people like this. Volunteers on the lifeboat must get so ******* off with picking these type of muppets up!

An excellent example of natural selection in operation. Darwin would be chuffed. With luck, he'll end up in France and add to the gene pool there instead of here. |

Coastguard Ian Goodwin said: "We passed on relevant safety advice and advised him that the best way to Southampton would be by train. Haha that has to be the best line in that story! To be honest I dont really want him to get to southampton, thats a bit too close to my home! |

I glanced at this story when I was doing my paper round
this morning and thought it was totally ridiculous. What kind of moron goes out to sea that unprepared? I think the funniest thing is that he tried to navigate using a road map! Its scary knowing that nutters like this are roaming around the sea though...  Edited by Mister Nick |

What kind of moron goes out that unprepared?? Just watch Seaside Rescue a few times to find out - there's far too many of them.

Too many idots get in trouble cause they just dont have a clue about boats or weather forecasts i always find it funny when the fog comes down you always find some yachtsmen going round in circles lost. I work at sea so i see it day in day out running aground seems to be quite a good one this last week |
