The Aussie 'saved'' at sea after "his electronics were knocked out by a storm". Sounds a bit of a d**khead if the reports are to be believed. But not so stupid if his tale of 'courage and survival' is a best-seller to the international press!

Raw fish and rainwater... Surprised the mutt is alive!

Why should the reports be believed? When have you ever known the press to get anything even vaguely right

I presume the storm caused a lot more problems than just knocking out the electronics - but as the pictures show he still had a mast standing is seems incredible he couldn't come up with some form of jury rig. So quite possibly a couple of cans short of a six pack,

There was a time when catching rainwater and trailing a fishing lure was standard practice for yachts on ocean passages.

These days I guess if either the water-maker or the fridge-freezer breaks down, its time to call in Air-Sea rescue.
