what an idiot.

They made a mistake.

When the Round the World Yacht race came to Western Australia, one of
the cream of the crop sailed straight into Rottnesst Island, just off
the coast. Pro crew. Pro navigator. Right at the end of the voyage
across the Indian Ocean.

I witnessed the start of the Whitbread Round The World Race in which
Peter Blake won every single part. Just outside the exit from the
Solent you have this 'reef' called the Shingles. The boat manned
by men from the Royal Navy (or was it the Royal Marines?) ran right
up there and remained there until the next high tide...
