Crazy is not illegal. 14’ is fine, but he’s gonna need a BIT more rations and water than that...
Bravery is, of course, a noble trait, but this fellow behaved with an impulsive recklessness which were it not for the RNLI would almost certainly have got him killed. I do hope he does not make another attempt.
Indeed, it was only by good fortune that the RNLI lifeboat was not needed by someone else at the same time who had no choice about being in a spot of bother.
