You never know

You just never know what you will read in the paper here. They have a great section with fun random little stories that I believe are for pure amusement. I wanted to share one of the stories with you. Thank you Cambodian Daily :)

In London… “A man who thought he was sailing along the coast of southern England had to be rescued after his boat ran out of fuel while repeatedly circling a small island in the River Thames estuary. The man, who had no nautical guides and only a roadmap to navigate by, had been trying to sail from Gillingham, about 55 km east of London, to Southampton on April 19 by following the southern coast. But he ended simply doing laps of the 93 square km Isle of Sheppey a short distance away in the mouth of the Thames. A lifeboat and coastguard were sent to rescue him after he used up all his fuel and ran aground, officials said Wednesday. He told them he had been trying to navigate by keeping the coastline to his right.”

I hope this brightens your day…and I have to say, “Really!?!? A road map and just follow the coast line?”
