A Brit is 'lucky to be alive' after he spent four days stranded in the English Channel when his kayak capsized. Daniel Lewis was rescued by Dutch fisherman on Thursday after they found him clinging to a buoy wearing just a pair of swimming shorts.
The 28-year-old - who had no food, water or protection from the elements - had survived by eating seaweed and drinking rain water. Some reports say he had been in the water for 48 hours, while others say it had been as long as 12 days.
However, his rescuer Tunis Van Luut, says that Daniel told him he had been at sea since October 15 and on the buoy for four days. The kayaker told the 41-year-old that he had been trying to paddle 'to Spain', but was unable to answer any more questions due to his condition, the Mirror reports.
