Man Over Bored

Bail Him Out - Again

A British sailor nicknamed Captain Calamity - after he was rescued seven times when he tried to sail round Britain - has been saved by the coastguard again. Stuart Hill, 65, was rescued in heavy seas off Shetland after his home-made boat was swamped by large waves that stalled both engines. He prompted seven rescue call-outs during the trip in the summer of 2001.
