Pirates rescued at sea

A RED-FACED teen who got lost at sea while dressed up as pirate has said his rescue rated “15 out of 10” in terms of embarrassment.

Joe Adams, 18, admitted that his fancy dress dinghy outing with two friends had been “a bit stupid.”

The ultimate shame came when rescuers thought the young shipmates were actually dressed as characters from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Joe and two friends donned Jack Sparrow-style kit and took to the high seas in an inflatable dinghy last Wednesday.

The boys, who were celebrating the end of A-Levels in Benllech, north Wales, took a crate of beer and a bottle of rum as their only sustenance.

But the craft drifted out to sea off the coast of Anglesey, leaving the trio stranded.

A member of the public walking on a nearby beach spotted their plight and called the Coastguard, who launched an inshore lifeboat to rescue them.
