A man has been found paddling in circles on Lake George in New South Wales’ Southern Tablelands, in a boat with a sail made from a bed sheet and a broomstick.
The man had only one oar and was paddling in circles about two kilometres off the Lake’s south-western shore.
A spokesperson for the SES said the man took the vessel onto the Lake earlier in the day in more tranquil weather.
“The man started paddling during the day when the weather was calmer and became stranded on the lake as the wind picked up,” they said.
The spokesperson said volunteers from the Bungendore SES Unit responded to the incident.
“The man was able to safely paddle to shore by using the lights of the SES vehicle as a guide,” they added.
