GLASGOW, Scotland, May 9 (UPI) -- Coast guard officials said a 74-year-old man was lucky to survive his botched attempt at sailing a Scottish sea loch in a child's blow up boat.
John Stevenson, of Glasgow, prompted serious rescue efforts Wednesday when his small dinghy tuned over in the rough waters of Loch Ryan on the Galloway coast, the Scotsman reported Friday.
Apparently his little toy boat floated out to sea and he was just trying to retrieve it. This is one of those stories that you smile about, since it didn't end in tragedy. I can picture the old guy at the pub, wrapped in a blanket, drinking some mulled ale and telling his story over and over again, with the tale growing more ridiculous each time.
