Three British men set out on a “green” boating expedition, relying solely upon wind, the sun, and man power to complete the journey.  Nearly 40 schools were keeping up with their expedition, which was designed to bring people’s attention to climate change.  They ran into rough weather and had to send for help.  And you wouldn’t believe who swept in to their rescue: an oil tanker.

Upon being rescued, one of the three men apparently told reporters that they were “safely and ironically” aboard the tanker.
