It looks like he may have over done it this time:
More debris found in search for missing boatie Tony Higgins and his boat Margrel
More debris found in search for missing boatie Tony Higgins and his boat Margrel - ABC News
Debris which police have described as "consistent with items from the missing boat" has been discovered in the search for Tony Higgins and the Margrel.
I bet he never got a chance to replace his Flares & EPIRB either. I hope, if it is him, that he was wearing a PFD.Quote:

The Cops would have had a good idea of what was on the boat from the previous inspection they made, so it isn't looking too grand atm.
I reckon there is a chance he'll be located propping up the bar of the Robe Pub or even the Buenos Aires Hilton.
I realise the Hilton is on the East Coast of Sth America but jeeeeeezzzzzzzz you should have experienced the strong winds yesterday it could have blown him over the Andes. No, really.
EDIT....... Seems his wallet, Keys & Glasses were also found washed up.
Maybe Darwin's law finally caught up with this idiot[bigwhistle]
I must go down to the sea today,
To the lonely sea and the sky,
I hung my undies out yesterday,
By now they must be dry.
John Masefield would turn over in his grave...
That was the first Poem I learned off by heart and I still love it.
Me too. "Aaarrrr me eartie's " I bet Old mate had that furthest from his mind the other day on the good ship Mongrel.[bigsad]Quote:

When I say olde I mean close to a First Edition. Still got it somewhere. Parchment Pages an' all. Lamp Wax soiled. Rum Stains, Vomit covered[smilebigeye] Must drag it out again for another shufti & to check whether some low life has nicked it.
Perhaps a late evening, around the fire, 'Wombat Recital' could be in order, when permitted. [bigsmile]Quote:

You need a license for operation of a car and if you mess it - they take it away
You also need a license for operation of a boat - surely they should have revoked this idiots ticket from the last 2 events.
Now he's endangering lives of rescue personnel again due to his incompetence...
At minimum I hope the boat has sunk.
