Great stuff. I spent 7 hours one night searching Morecambe Bay in a Nimrod, (Sea King searching as well) for just such a character, attempting to sail to America in a 22' clapped out yacht using the blue bits of a road atlas to navigate by. When the sun came up, a rig spotted he was tied up to one of the legs, fast asleep on board.
Same attitude, same disregard for the 'normal conventions' with a worried family wondering where he was. Nothing to admire, just a stupid **** who thinks he's better than everyone else.
