The guy is lucky he is still alive. Between the cold waters and the shipping channels, this guy was really at risk.
After consulting a couple on the beach Mr Cowles, 24, realised that he had taken a wrong turn and having set out in Swansea Bay was now in Devon - 140 miles away from home.
His unplanned journey began when he sailed too far out into the Bristol Channel. When he spotted cargo shipping he realised he was seriously off course but decided to head on over to Devon. Locals at Woody Bay, near Lynton, north Devon, was bemused when he walked out of the sea and asked "where am I?".
