LONDON (Reuters) - An amateur sailor, described as "clueless" by his
rescuers, was picked up at sea by British coastguards for an 11th time --
just two days after being rescued as he navigated with a road map.
Eric Abbott, 56, ran aground in his homemade boat off the north coast of
Wales Thursday as he tried to sail across the Irish Sea from Anglesey,
British newspapers said.
It was the same area where the unemployed painter, from Northwich in western
England, had been picked up 48 hours earlier. He has now agreed to take
navigation lessons after the bailouts that have cost more than $82,520.
