Yes, Alcohol Was Involved

Three drunken gadgies who set to sea in a small dinghy with only one paddle were rescued after drifting in the English Channel for 11 hours thinking they had sailed to France.

Equipped only with a bottle of wine and wearing shorts and Ts, the men launched their seven foot inflatable from the beach at Littlehampton, at 21:00 and were spotted at 08:00 the next morning by a birdwatcher who saw them waving for help two miles out to sea.

According to onlookers, the party thought they had reached the French coast and greeted their coastguard rescuers with: “Bonjour."   All three were  treated them for hypothermia and have fully recovered from their ordeal.
