Hva denne videoen dekker

Ryan and Brittni, sailing with their toddler Oakley in the Abacos, Bahamas, nearly strike a submerged sailboat — roughly 50 feet long and sitting about six feet below the surface at high tide — while motoring toward Marsh Harbour ahead of an incoming storm.9:03 The wreck, a remnant of Hurricane Dorian debris, does not appear on the charts; at low tide with a 1.1-meter tidal range, the bow would have hit it.9:21 Ryan reverses in time, they anchor next to it, and he free-dives the wreck, encountering a hawksbill turtle that stays close throughout.8:52 The wreck sits just outside Marsh Harbour and is noted as a viable dive site.13:56 The crew then anchors in Marsh Harbour — sandy bottom, good holding, well-protected — to wait out the storm, which passes mostly south of them with heavy lightning.14:57 The video also covers baby-proofing a sailboat for a toddler: solutions include a dog-food bag as a stair gate, painters tape over battery switches, and a live tracker on Oakley during calm-weather passages when complacency is highest.2:51 The crew also advises against making water inside Marsh Harbour.14:00 Unmarked post-hurricane wreck debris in the Sea of Abaco remains a real hazard, particularly at high tide when clearance is greatest and a strike most likely.
