Paul D Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 Surprised no-one has posted this ? Funny but not really funny. They should charge him IMHO. Lost Quote
Graham Nash Posted April 28, 2010 Report Posted April 28, 2010 ha ha @ The man told the rescue team he had been keeping the coast to his right and had ended up sailing in circles around Sheppey. Quote

wrigler Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 One circuit is okay but didn't he realise after a few times that the coastline seemed familiar. A good name for this guy is "Cockeye the failure man" Terry Quote
great white Posted April 29, 2010 Report Posted April 29, 2010 I wonder what he thought the land was on the port side, France? Isle of wight? The boat in the picture looks a bit dodgy , even for a cruise around sheppy. Quote

A good name for this guy is "Cockeye the failure man" Terry I'm not convinced he went all the way round the Island even once - all the articles would appear rich on hype, ridicule and exaggeration. they all seem to agree he had a 20l fuel tank though - and that's not going to get him that far! (yes I know all the people on here would work the tides, use optimum throttle settings and get all the way to Southampton on 20 ltrs ) Quote

Brian Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) I'm not convinced he went all the way round the Island even once - Agreed, you'd think the two road bridges he would have had to pass under would give a bit of a clue, unless he thought someone had dragged France a lot closer and his road atlas was out of date!! He intended carrying on, anyone heard what happened next? Edited April 30, 2010 by Brian Quote
Graham Nash Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 He intended carrying on, anyone heard what happened next? Maybe we best keep our eyes open for him going round the Isle of Wight Quote
