Saint Baeddon

November 8th is the Feast Day of Saint Baeddon, patron of sailors. Saint Baeddon sailed across the ocean to the Coriander Isles in a skin boat, drinking only rainwater and eating seaweed. When he arrived, he was half-mad with sunstroke and the locals believed that he was either a saint or a lunatic. As their culture did not differentiate between the two, he was treated well and lived several years on the Isles before being eaten by an elephant seal.
