Sorry!! but ? This "Dickhead " sails offshore ,falls overboard ,swims ashore ,catches a taxi home and does not contact an authority ,such as the Water Police . maybe he had other intentions ?
I would like to know when are they (Maritime ) going to put a stop to such vessels heading offshore with minimal or no safety at all.
Not to mention the cost on behalf of me the taxpayer This "clown " should be put on social media and made to explain why and made to pay for the search and rescue costs .Then people like this individual might start to think about the consequences for their actions .
Cranky Bear
PS ,I have to wear a PFD to row out to my yacht , but I can paddle a stand-up paddle board and paddle off into the sunset without one !
I would prefer if the maritime authorities kept out of it. People should have the right to wander off and never be seen again.
Agreed. Sick of rules because of retards.
Agreed but it seems we dumb laws down to the lowest common denominator.
Situation not much different to the WAFI that people spent days searching for east of Wessel Islands only to hear him bragging in the Darwin SC how he had the "stupid" navy out looking for him. He was encouraged to leave Darwin asap.
At least in the end the guy in NSW did in the end tell someone that he was safe.
and yes, me too, sick of stupid rules brought in the protect stupid people from themselves at our expense.
In a village full of idiots there would still be a village idiot.
