MBY readers show their sympathetic side
Our request for information about a motorboat stranded at a Mallorcan lighthouse provoked a strong response from MBY online readers – in the form of an impromptu caption competition.
The craft was photographed recently by an MBY reader near a lighthouse at Punta Salinas at the southern tip of Mallorca.
Among the sympathetic responses we received were:
“Who the hell left that water that water ski jump out there?”
“I hit a lampost on me bike last week so I thought I should be able to do this, but I missed.”
The skipper says: “See that flashing light, that’s a lighthouse, just keep heading for it.”
“It looks like someone set the autopilot on a course towards ‘that bright flashing light on the horizon’ and fell asleep.”
“The Spanish have a new regulation for motor boaters that the closer you park to a lighthouse the safer your boat will be.”
But as one reader points out: “There but for the grace of God go I, and many more like me!”
We hope the owners of the boat are safe and well.
