Three men were rescued from the overturned hull of their sports fishing boat last week after being adrift for eight days in the Gulf of Mexico. The coastguard searched for the men for seven days, covering an are of 86,000 square miles before calling off the search. Fortunately the men were spotted the very next day by a yacht and plucked to safety. Talking to the press about the ordeal, one of the fishermen said he woke to find the beanbag he was sleeping on was afloat and a few minutes later the boat capsized. He said the accident was caused by a water extractor malfunction...
Fancy going to sea without a bilge pump!
