Three Euro Men In A Goodwill Boat Are Arrested In Britain

GERMANS:

A trio of European councillors who sailed across the English Channel on a homemade raft to deliver a message of goodwill were arrested upon arrival in Britain.

The two Germans and one Frenchman braved choppy seas to make the nine-hour journey from Boulogne to Folkestone yesterday.

But the trio, who carried a goodwill message in a bottle from the mayor of the German town of Zweibrucken, had failed to obtain permission from the relevant authorities to cross the busy shipping lane.

The raft was reported to the Coastguard by a passing vessel and the dignitaries were met at Folkestone harbour at 4pm by the Coastguard before being arrested by police on suspicion of endangering life.

Dive! Dive! Dive!
