Sailor's boat crashes into land as he oversleeps during race

British sailor Alex Thomson, who was holding a lead of 230 nautical miles with only 65 miles remaining to finish the 3,542-nautical mile solo transatlantic race, overslept and crashed into the Caribbean archipelago of Guadeloupe. The 44-year-old forgot to charge his shockwave watch, specially designed to release an electric shock to wake him up. He was given a 24-hour penalty.
