Default The nation of.....Sealand



Was half cut at my mates a few nights ago and conversation lead on to this, I thought he was winding me up! Just got round to googling it now.

Am I the only one who had never heard about Sea land? Can't help but find it fascinating/hilarious.

And the reason we got onto the topic; piratebay.

They even have their own stamps, coins,passports and royal family!

I have sailed a 34ft yacht between these pillars and although it isn't that impressive in the picture it is massive when you are in a small boat.

I will add it was a very calm day when I did it
