Boating enthusiasts in New Brunswick are certainly learning more than just the local weather conditions and safety tips for safe sailing on the Atlantic.
An apparent mix up in toll free numbers has Atlantic Boaters mixing their birds and bees with their knots and sea heaves. Callers to the Transport Canada safe boating line are currently greeted with a lurid invitation to pull out their credit cards and learn much more than how to tie a sailors knot.
apparently the toll free telephone industry is heavily into recycling, when one organization no longer requires toll free numbers the lapsed number goes back into the pool and gets reassigned.
This is not the first time that wayward travelers have been surprised by a suggestion of sex rather than a briefing on travel conditions.
A few months ago the Highways information line for Northwester British Columbia also was directing callers to reach out and touch someone, for a price.
Whether it's on the road or on the high seas, we can only assume that folks do get lonely.
