I'd be careful using the word "sailor" as in recent posts you could be in trouble with there new law they have written as it seems on here they own all rights to the sea,

Tongue in cheek of course!!

Thats a good story and if you ever speak to some of the people around here you wouldnt be surprised at all

I was told a fella once set off around the isle of wight and got a bit lost at Hurst. Found in the shallows using a place mat with a picture of the IOW for navigation!!!

It even had a picture of cows for Cowes on it.

Only using a road map to circumnavigate seems like the last great boating challenge

Likely plenty of cheap publicity from the "something must be done" brigade
