A man was rescued by fishermen in the English Channel after reportedly trying to kayak to Spain.
Fishermen found 28-year-old Daniel Lewis, who was living in Liverpool but is from Blackpool, clinging to a buoy on Thursday, October 27 after his kayak capsized during the crossing from Dover. He'd reportedly survived in the busy shipping route "for days", including four spent on the buoy, wearing only swimming trunks and eating only seaweed and mussels.
Tunis Van Luut, 41, was skipper of De Madelaine, the fishing vessel which picked Daniel up. He told the Mirror: "He needed water and he was drinking a lot, and I asked him who are you and how is it possible that you are here on this buoy without your clothes, just your swimming shorts - there was nothing else."
