Let him drown, I say!

Oh, thats right Here in Tasmania the ambo will pick us up for free.

He's a tip, try not to use them . Thats why the rest of the country charges big dollars for the ride.

Thinking about it home to the Hosp. via cab $10 with Party lights $160 .... Dam thats expensive

I think the world needs adventurers like this....... Attempts to break world records is what forces technology to be improved.......

And where do you draw the line? We stop looking for him because he is out there sailing, do we also stop looking for mountain climbers? balooniers? People who ride their mx bike in the woods unsupervised?

That said... I dont konw this guy, or his history.... Perhaps he is a complete moron...

We (i.e. Australian taxpayers) have forked out over $1million in rescue operations to save this guy twice over the past few years.

He is no adventurer imho

The Aust Navy would spend the money and time on less important training. at least they have something meaningful to show for their efforts.
Lets not kid our selves the armed forces have budgets just like every other company. They have to spend the money some way.
