Does anyone remember this pommy bloke who needed the Australian Nazy to rescue him in the Southern Ocean while he attempted to sail around the world solo? Well apparently he has done it again only this time he got lost on his way to the start of his attempt! :lol: Apparently no one has heard from him for a week or some such and his last known location is somewhere in the Indian Ocean!

I mean I hope this dude is safe and ok but when will this guy learn? :roll:

this is something like the 3rd time... and taxpayers keep paying to have him rescued...i'm almost tempted to say let him drown...

Only eligible for an honourable mention at this stage. Leave him out there and then he get's a nomination. Dumb old coot.

save 'em once or twice fine, but after that let them swim or they pay for their own rescue rather than us taxpayers

This has happened with others as well and as far as I'm concerned, if they wan't to do this sort of thing they should be made to sign waivers so that if a Tony Bullimore/Isabelle Autissier situation occurs, they have to pay for a rescue out of their own pocket.

Yeah, he tried to dock but one of his engines failed and the other engine didn't have reverse. The Yatch plowed into the wharf launching one of his crew overboard in front of about 150 people. What a di*k. Surely he should realise he's no good at sailing and try something else.

That would have to be the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Came flying in toward the jetty, then t-boned it, and the poor crewman on the bow was launched into the air, then in the drink!! :lol:
