SOLAR BOAT NOT A SUCCESS

A mysterious solar-powered boat assembled from scrap wood and tar has ploughed into western Ireland only weeks after it was abandoned on a Newfoundland beach.
While out for a Sunday walk, a resident of Ireland’s County Mayo “came across an unusual type of vessel washed up onto the shore,” read a Monday statement by the Irish Coast Guard.
When a local unit of the Ballyglass Coast Guard showed up, they found a peculiar homemade boat covered in tar with solar panels bolted to the roof. Written in sharpie on the vessel’s interior was a cryptic note: “I, Rick Small, donate this structure to a homeless youth to give them a better life that Newfoundlanders choose not to do! No rent, no mortgage, no hydro.”
