"Stefan" don't know his Bowditch from a hole in the water...

Neither did C. Columbus. So what? All the navigational math in the world
will not help when you are taking on water.

Morse code saves lives.

"The man, who was taking his 28ft (8.5m) boat from Emsworth to
Thorneham Marina when it began to take on water, had no safety
equipment onboard."

One wonders why someone that stupid knows Morse code. :-)

But he did have safety equipment onboard.

His torch (flashlight) was part of an emergency
communications system, which he successfully
used to signal for help.

Indeed - Morse Code skill and stupidity are usually
negatively correlated.....;-)

He was foolish and unprepared, yes, if the only
emergency equipment he had was a flashlight.

Even smart people are sometimes foolish
and caught unprepared.

Like that family that took a short cut in Oregon,
made a wrong turn or two, and wound up lost
for several days. Cost the father his life.

They had GPS and cell phones and all sorts of
modern stuff but they still got lost. And it took
a long time to find them.

You're right, Jim, he was equipped with an electro-
magnetic wave generator, just a different frequency
from the average maritime mobile radio.

Exactly, Cecil!

Not only that, but his EM wave generator was equipped with a high-gain
directive antenna system. And he was equipped with a sophisticated
diversity receiving system for those frequencies, too.

If an incandescent bulb, too bad most of his power
was radiated in the invisible IR range. :-)

Usually, a person with Morse Code skill is not stupid.

There are exceptions, of course

Lack of Morse Code skill is not, to my knowledge, correlated
with stupidity in any way.
