A couple sailing a monohull in Dutchman’s Creek, North Carolina, runs aground at low tide while attempting to deploy a stern anchor to manage tidal swings.19:17 To refloat the vessel before a scheduled flight, the crew heels the boat by tensioning the sails while at anchor, successfully freeing the hull as the tide rises.19:37 The maneuver follows a failed attempt to use the dinghy to position the stern anchor against a strong current.19:05 Earlier, the crew navigated around Cape Hatteras by choosing an offshore route over the Intracoastal Waterway to avoid potential bridge clearance issues caused by storm-driven high tides.14:39 While anchored in Norfolk, the crew also intervened to reset a dragging catamaran that lacked onboard owners, preventing it from striking nearby rocks.11:31 The crew utilizes AIS for collision avoidance during night passages and has adopted electric unicycles, specifically Pint X models, for shore transportation.12:46
