An expedition team which set sail from Plymouth on a 5,000-mile carbon emission-free trip to Greenland have been rescued by an oil tanker. . . .
Raoul Surcouf, Richard Spink and skipper Ben Stoddart sent a mayday because they feared for their safety amid winds of 68mph (109km/h)…In one incident Mr Stoddart hit his head and the wind generator and solar panels were ripped from the yacht.
I’m not laughing; I’m really not.
