Splendidly incompetent

What happened to the three Aussies who had been on board a yacht, found
drfiting crew-less:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7550836.stm

"A coroner in Queensland has ruled that the men lost their lives in a
freak accident and suggested they drowned in an unfortunate sequence of
events.

It started when one of the men fell in the water while trying to
retrieve some fishing equipment that had become tangled around the
rudder.

Another sailor was lost overboard while trying to mount a rescue.

The coroner found that the third man, the skipper, tried to turn the
boat around by adjusting the sails, but a change in wind direction
caused the boom to swing round and knock him into the choppy seas. "

 

As amusing as it is... it's apparently nothing but the Coroner's
guess. Still in their 60s so a bunch of Auvaches.

Empty boat, no evidence... Surely that would be an open verdict?

"She'll be right, mate. Just make something up and they'll piss off
for a beer"

Ah yeah, right mate. It was all going great until some great galah
shouted "Hey Bruce! Jump into the water!".

 

They mentioned there was a meal laid out, but they didn't mention the
beer surely an omission of significance?

So maybe the crate of tinnies got dropped over the side and they were
drowned trying to retrieve it?

 

The boat is to be renamed the Sheela Celeste....

Am I the only one who read that with the Benny Hill "chase" music
playing in their mind?

 

No.

A FireBlade's an effective toy.

But I'm afraid you can't have mine...

 

I sincerely hope so.

You're just *too subtle*

It's a cross one has to bear.

Hmm. I was hoping for something a little bigger.

But if you'd like to fill in one of these http://tiny.cc/DjhAp and
submit if for consideration, I'll get back to you.

Spooky.

I went shopping on Friday and can confirm that Zoe and I apparently
have *exactly* the same problem. We also read the same website.

I thought I'd upgrade after my trusty old warhorse recently expired.
Big mistake. I'm going back to simple and preferably a *whole* fucking
lot quieter.

It's pretty easy to do.

Erm... apparently.

 

IIRC, the story I read said they were planning to take two months
to sail around to West Australia -- but had only shipped three slabs
of tinnies. Bloody lightweights!

She was drop-dead gorgeous, by the way...
