Two Badly Drunken N. Koreans Wander into the South on a Boat

Yonhap News


2007.06.02 10:30

A small wooden boat with two N. Koreans inside was found inside the S. Korean waters.

(S. Korean) Joint Chiefs of Staff announced on June 2, "At 2am this morning, a small boat drifted 2.5 miles to the south of NLL(note: a dividing line on the sea between North and South Korea,) from 13 miles to the South West of Yonpyong Island in Yellow Sea. Navy patrol ship spotted the boat and towed it to Inchon."

They added that there were two drunken men in the boat, which is 5 meter long, and 1.5 meter wide.

They explained, "We attempted to send them back at the scene, but they were so drunk that we towed them back out of safety concerns. We will take the steps to repatriate them once the investigation is complete."

Sometimes, a bottle of booze can let you accomplish what requires months of planning.:-)

This is a crab season in this area. Apparently, these guys were supposed to be out there catching crabs. Instead they got themselves drunk to the high heaven.

I don't know about heaven, but they managed to escape hell with only a bad hangover!

I hope they won’t take the steps to repatriate them to California.

I’ve been fishing out of Inchon and we did the same thing. We were lucky we didn’t drift north!

They were drunk and that’s their story and they’re sticking to it... somehow I doubt Kim Chong Ill will be amused. If they go back of their own free will they are not only drunk but crazy.

I thought the headline was the set-up for a joke.

Booze does (occasionally) have a good side … unless they are stupid enough to return to NK. Of course, they could have families there and need to go back …

Considering what Kimipu will subject them to if they return, mayhap they will choose to remain in SK. Could set precedence, get drunk and hope your boat drifts south.

Usually, you get drunk first and then catch crabs.

I don’t think they were badly drunken, I think they were well and truly drunken.

These two will never believe anyone who says: Don't drink alcohol to escape difficult times!

Good chance for asylum.
