Raoul Surcouf, Richard Spink and skipper Ben Stoddart sent a mayday because they feared for their safety amid winds of 68mph (109km/h)...The team, which left Mount Batten Marina in Plymouth on 19 April in a boat named the Fleur, aimed to rely on sail, solar and man power on a 580-mile (933km/h) journey to and from the highest point of the Greenland ice cap.

The expedition was followed by up to 40 schools across the UK to promote climate change awareness.

But atrocious weather dogged their journey after 27 April, culminating with the rescue on 1 May after the boat was temporarily capsized three times by the wind.

In one incident Mr Stoddart hit his head and the wind generator and solar panels were ripped from the yacht.

LOLOLOL This is rich...

They should have thrown themselves into the bosom of Our Mother The Sea instead of getting on board that earth-killing juggernaut!!!

Oh, the irony...

Whatever blows yer dress up, angry.

you must enjoy the feeling when the BIG OIL corporations in Australia charge you $1.70 per litre of petrol claiming that OIL had risen to record levels of $150 per barrel, then charging you $1.25 per litre when the price of OIL collapsed back to $30 per barrel?

You must really enjoy being bent over and rammed from behind by white males sitting in the Big Oil corp's board rooms.

And to top it off Australia is actually a net energy exporter and is selof sufficient in fuel for vehicles.

Tell me Percydickhead, if the price of wheat in Europe escalated due to regional factors and made bread very expensive, would you expect the price of bread in Australia to follow the trend?

Your innate dickheadness is only surpassed by your moronic worshiping of the criminal Howard and Costello partnership

cheers

You fucks produce no oil. You probably hadn't ought to be allowed to buy any at any price, you lying pack of Commie sheeple. All you ever do is whine and complain. Just do without oil and its products.

Australia has a surplus of every kind of energy source you can name.

1/3 of the worlds unranium.

Vast gas and coal reserves

Australia imports some low sulphur oils from the Middle East for the lubricant production etc.

Didnt you know that about Australia?

Oh, sorry youre a Zionist American - you think that the total population of the earth is around 300 million

Australia is a sinkhole of impoverished, dispossessed Aboriginals and drunken, bellicose, overweight Euro-squatters. It is fast becoming a centre for ascetic, evanagelistic, air-headed, conceited eco-Nazis as well. Meanwhile, it remains a net importer of energy. It is similar to Canada in that its colonial status precluded any significant development for most of its history, and colonial domination is now being replaced by home-grown Communism and eco-fascism which will attenuate any future development, resulting in chronic low energy demand due to a chronically stifled economy. Unlike Canada, Australia is remarkabley poor in resources. Do not imagine that your uranium reserves are an ecologically acceptable energy source. You must not engage in any mining, refining or other exploitaition of that evil substance!~ The only thing that saves your Euro-asses from abject and universal poverty is your low population, which is guaranteed by your buffoonish government, alcoholism, propensity for road crashes, and chronic popular obesity. Eventually, China will seize your territory for use as a landfill/nuclear waste depository.
