They’re lucky to have so far outlived their intellect, but thank goodness their stupidity has not yet cost others their lives. If the USCG had left them to their own devices, I’d have had no problem with that, particularly as one who pays for the Coasties through my federal taxes.

I wouldn’t have wanted to be in a boat in the HARBOUR on Sunday or Monday past. Another storm is due to hit us tomorrow. Crazy.

“We’ve never done anything like this. Dad’s not even a sailor, but he’s a quick study,” said Jason McGlashan in his Australian accent. “We’ve got plenty of food, plenty of booze, good sails and all the safety gear you could ever need, so we’re going to be OK.””

Obviously they were prepared for it…

SMH…

Another one for the “What the hell were they thinking” crowd.

As they say in Australia, these two have a “kangaroo loose in the upper paddock!”

Do these Aussies know it’s winter in the northern hemisphere this time of year?

What could possibly go wrong?

The USCG should bill them for rescue costs plus some for putting crews in danger unnecessarily.
