Ce que couvre cette vidéo

In Haka Hau Harbour on Ua Pou, French Polynesia, a fouled anchor chain forces a solo sailor to motor in circles for several hours to avoid drifting into the jetty, beach, and nearby vessels.1:11 The primary bow anchor chain became entangled with the boat's own stern anchor, preventing the windlass from retrieving the main anchor and causing the boat to drag in gusty conditions.4:06 The sailor maintains position under power from 4:00 a.m. until dawn, when crew members from the nearby yachts Unbelievable and O'Nero arrive to assist.1:58 The rescuers manually clear the fouled stern anchor from the main chain, allowing the windlass to function again and the main anchor to be reset.5:16 The incident highlights the risk of entanglement when deploying both bow and stern anchors in tight, surge-prone anchorages.
