Kayaker rescued after days clinging to Channel buoy
A British man is saved by a Dutch fishing boat after his kayak capsized miles off the French coast. …
They threw the Briton lifebuoys and hauled him on board. “He was covered in bruises and explained that he’d stayed alive by scraping mussels off the buoy and eating little crabs and seaweed,” Mr De Boer told public broadcaster NOS. He was dehydrated and suffering from hypothermia, so the crew wrapped him in blankets.
