But giant inflatable unicorns are proving less popular with coastguards after a woman was blown out to sea and had to be rescued from one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

That doesn’t look like an ocean-going craft. But she could probably talk me in to coming aboard.

Plastic inflatable in the open ocean. What could possibly go wrong?

And the coasties are complaining about THIS rescue trend? I always thought sailors were kinda odd. Marines would organize and volunteer enmasse for this civic duty.
