A 28-year-old man who was trying to row from the UK to France has been rescued after spending 48 hours in the water wearing nothing but swimming trunks. The man, who has not been named but is reported to be British, was rescued by the crew of a Dutch ship.
He had been clinging to a buoy in rough weather eating raw shellfish to survive.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf says the man, who had set off from Dover, was found clinging to a buoy on Thursday, having capsized his kayak two days earlier.
