Yesterday morning, this (pretty expensive) boat drifted into the harbour, and bumped into the harbour wall.

And there's no sign of the guy who was on it.

No distress call.

Nothing.

Nada.

[Baldric]

Was that the 70+ guy JJ, still no sign of him?

[seadogg]

salvage?

[DTCwordfan]

Weird but surely yesterday afternoon wasn't the time to go out, if the weather up with you was anything like down here - unless he wanted to remove himself.

[Old_Geezer]

Fell overboard ?

[Zacs-Master]

Looks like he's done a 'Reggie'

[DTCwordfan]

or a Maxwell.....

[Baldric]

He's in a Canoe
heading for Peru!

[Gromit]

My grandad used yo do that. Park the car and forget where he'd left it.

[Baldric]

I heard the Auto Pilot was on, so that Self Park really does work then?

[joggerjayne]

That's a long way in a canoe!

[Ellipsis]

Suicide, absconded, murder, abducted or fell overboard.

[paddywak]

Perhaps the Kraken got him.

[anotheoldgit]

It wasn't called the Marie Celeste by any chance, was it?

[jno]

people fall overboard, I suppose, even good sailors.

[DTCwordfan]

Nobody has referred to the fact that he was a paedo, convicted on one account and taken in 3 times. I saw the Mail at the local tea-rooms half an hour ago....

// Fell/jumped overboard? Wouldn't be the first. Did he have a canoe on board, does he know the way to South America. //

should be OK db unless he puts photos of himself on the internet !

[douglas9401]

Could just be his way of changing his name to Bob.

[DTCwordfan]

Anybody wave goodbye to him?

[joggerjayne]

"bob" and "wave" gags ...

Marvellous.
