What this video covers
A Garcia Nouanni 43 sailing in Greenland waters becomes entangled in a submerged fishing net while navigating a narrow channel. The crew discovers the obstruction after the boat suddenly stops while under power.23:19 To assess the damage, the skipper uses a 360-degree camera mounted on the hull to inspect the propeller, rudder, and keel for remaining debris.26:14 After confirming the running gear is clear, the vessel resumes its passage.27:11 Throughout the transit, the crew relies on Raymarine Lighthouse charts and RealBathy mapping, which logs depth transducer data to create custom bathymetric maps.5:08 These tools prove essential for identifying safe routes through poorly charted, shallow areas and for selecting secure anchoring spots.5:45 The crew emphasizes the importance of keeping sharp knives, specifically Mora knives, accessible in the cockpit to quickly cut away fishing lines or nets that pose a hazard to the propeller or rigging.29:27
