Actor Russell Crowe and a friend were picked up by the US coast guard over the weekend after getting lost while kayaking off Long Island, New York, the coast guard has said.
Crowe and his unidentified friend flagged down a coast guard patrol after beaching their kayaks in Huntington Bay around 10pm on Saturday local time. The pair had set off from Cold Spring Harbor, several miles away, but got lost and made for the beach as night fell and conditions worsened, according to the coast guard.
Crowe thanked “the boys from the US coast guard for guiding the way” in a message on Twitter. He also tweeted: “not lost, we knew where exactly where we were, paddling around from CSH [Cold Spring Harbor] into wind, we ran out of day. Grand adventure eh.” – (Reuters)
