But when the two swimmers were finally 'rescued' they complained there was nothing wrong with them and they had never been in any danger.

I heard the entire U.S. fleet also offered to help, but I'm exactly sure what they meant...

Unless the coast guard were there within 2 minutes, I would have been fully dressed and having a cigarette when they arrived.

Why did it take so long for the Belgian government to respond?

"suffering from the effects of "Shrinky Dink"?"

Man, isn't that the North Sea over there? You'd have to be one oyster rich dude to fly your flag in that water.
