"A spokesman for Spanish Coastguards said in a tweet, naming the vessel the tourist was pictured alongside as it approached him to pull him from the sea: 'Salvamar Vega yesterday rescued and took to Estepona a man discovered by a yacht 10 miles south-west of Marbella.

"'He was adrift on a surfboard. The man who was rescued said he had been at sea for three days after falling from a ship.' "

I can only presume he didnt know to paddle east or didnt know the sun rises in the east.
