BBC News - Video shows Dorset 'US-bound' sailor rescue

Bulgarian rescued from 14 ft dinghy in English channel, said he was sailing to the USA. Little food or water and a English road atlas seemed to be his sole navigational aid.

Honorable mention at this years Darwin Awards ?

For some reason, reminds me of this guy a few years ago :

BBC News - Man rescued off Isle of Sheppey after sailing blunder

They both were using road maps.
