Missing Sailor

Report of missing sailor off south coast of Ireland Coast Guard renews search for man missing from vessel
Thoughts with his loved ones.

"The UK Coast Guard was also contacted after the man said he believed the vessel was off the coast of Swansea in Wales.

However, the Irish Coast Guard situated the vessel off the coast of Ceann Heilbhic in Co Waterford."


Destination was Cardiff so it's really hard to imagine how that mistake was made. I was thinking maybe the guy fell off and the off watch guy slept for a day or two while the wind vane steering took then to Ireland, but not sure that works.

Or the off watch guy was really ill?

Makes very little sense to me.
