Must be a great sense of relief for all concerned. Amazing just how far the current / weather will take you in such a short time!

Good that they were fond. The sea is a frighteningly dangerous place.

I can assure you that the earth's magnetic field didn't do anything unexpected. I would be one of the first to know!

I know the young lads father pretty well, and I can gaurentee there will be one big party in Bervie and Gourdon tonight

[Highlander]

Glad they were found

I'm at a loss as to how a compass can "stop working"

I was thinking that too.
Had they no means of comunication? Phone, VHF radio,flares
Strange one.
Tight Lines

PS. Don't hear much about the lost plane now, that too is an even stranger one.

[Sandison]

Wonderful news, indeed!

[Bobfly]

Great news - drifted 46 miles !!!
I hope the father had the biscuits - the son could maybe have done without for a day or two!!!

[Allan Crawford]

I think the fog was down it certainly was out with us glad they made it was starting to think they hadn't

Real glad they got back safe. I have very little knowledge of boats but can't believe they didn't have any radio or other equipment. They said on the news that their after another boat surely theyll invest in some navigational equipment too  :shock:
