Qué cubre este vídeo

Thilo and his crew experience a near-total loss of their vessel after it drags anchor and grounds on a beach during the night.7:49 While the crew sleeps, the boat drifts into shallow water, leaving the keel embedded in the sand and the hull listing heavily toward nearby rocks.7:57 The interior suffers significant damage as the boat heels, with the refrigerator and other contents dislodging.9:29 To refloat the vessel, the crew uses a long line attached to a friend’s boat for towing assistance while simultaneously inducing a heel by filling a container with water to lift the keel from the sand.9:44 They successfully pull the boat into deeper water but must abandon the 15-kilogram anchor and chain in the shallows to escape the surf.11:23 The crew later recovers the anchor using a dinghy after a difficult search.12:16 The grounding bends the bow roller, rendering it inoperable.11:48 The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks of anchoring in shifting conditions and the necessity of maintaining a reliable watch.
