Is this guy mentally ill? Really, is he? I hope they evaluated him.

His only nav aid was a street map of Southhampton. I think so. Hope he gets help.
that's nuts
Just shows that adventurers should take a more realistic approach to their dreams,)Damm, did it again.)
The story implies he'd have been OK if he just had that lifejacket.
Besides we ALL know he should have used a laser.
Nah he would have been fine with a snipe they have a spray deflecting strip on bow
"Aside from that, he had a passport containing a US visa, hot dogs, beans and a bag of biscuits." He was not totally nuts, just a desperate Bulgarian trying to get to US on the cheap.
