¿Qué cubre este video?

While anchored in a sheltered bay on the island of Nisos Seraphos, Greece, to escape 35- to 42-knot Meltemi winds, La Vagabonde became fouled with another vessel after the neighboring boat dragged anchor and dropped its chain over theirs.0:57 The neighboring boat’s attempt to power away resulted in the La Vagabonde anchor chain wrapping around the other vessel's propeller, leaving both boats powerless and drifting toward open water.7:40 The crew narrowly avoided a collision with a nearby superyacht before drifting for 90 minutes.3:18 Riley attempted to free the chain by free-diving under the drifting vessel, sustaining deep lacerations on his shoulder and wrist from barnacles and the propeller.11:44 A local fishing boat eventually towed both vessels back to a marina, where the crew navigated a high-stress approach near a ferry dock and rocks to secure their lines.9:32 The incident highlights the risks of anchor fouling in high-wind conditions and the necessity of maintaining clear communication with neighboring vessels.
