Seasick sailors attempt to travel from West Country to London - but things go horribly wrong

Seasick sailors attempted to travel from the West Country to London - but things went horribly wrong.

The hapless crew left Dorset but hours later had to be rescued by Weymouth RNLI. Coastguards spotted the small motorboat off the coast at Lulworth on Wednesday afternoon (July 5), reports Dorset Live. The group was unaware they were near the Lulworth firing range after being stopped by the MOD's range safety boat.

Members from Weymouth Lifeboat discovered the boat was in an "unseaworthy condition" and its crew had no navigation charts or radio. The crew, who had planned to travel to London, were all seasick and declared unsafe to travel. They were escorted back to Lulworth to speak to the coastguard.
