In Biscay, I think. They didn't like his routing and wanted to Mayday, he thought no Mayday was required. I remember it and have googled and googled but can't find the blinking thing. Am I hallucinating?
Remember a story about a couple who imprisoned their yacht skipper?

That's a start. Where was it published? I've tried all sorts of versions of biscay, couple, imprison, skipper, mayday on google and get SFA.

Well, I am sure there was such a story, but it is similar to the story of the skipper in The Perfect Storm who had two ladies aboard and they put out a Mayday, but they made out he was drunk, he said not, and most sailors believed him on his form and subsequent actions. He tried to refuse the heli-lift to safety but had his arm twisted by the USCG.

I remember the story, vaguely. Could it have been in one of the rallys? They tied the skipper up and claimed he had lost his marbles.

That second link "AND THIS" had something prompting to clean my drive of my internet history (adult sites etc..) shortly followed by my anti virus warning me of DriveCleaner.

Didn't see that. But I have a Mac. You can get Safari (the Mac web browser) for Windows machines now. See here It's called a beta but it seems pretty complete. Apple says 'By default, Safari blocks all unprompted new windows.'
