Cosa tratta questo video

While anchored in Tule, Indonesia, the 45-foot sailboat Triteia dragged anchor twice during a severe thunderstorm.7:23 The crew was ashore in a neighboring town when friends on a nearby vessel alerted them to the dragging.7:23 Upon returning, the crew found their anchor had moved into deeper water, risking a drift toward a bridge or into the shallows.8:47 After re-anchoring in 33 feet of water with 175 feet of chain, the boat held through the remainder of the storm.10:31 The owner suspects poor holding ground, possibly caused by a thin layer of mud over hard substrate or debris like plastic on the seafloor preventing the anchor from setting.10:45 Obtaining fresh water in Tule requires transporting 20-liter jugs via minibus from a distant supermarket and manually transferring the water into jerry cans at the port.17:06 The crew notes that local seafloor conditions and the logistical difficulty of sourcing water present significant challenges for cruisers in this region.
