The crew of the sailboat Zephyr grounds on a sandbar while navigating the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) south of St. Augustine, Florida.5:02 After straying from the channel, the vessel sits in approximately 2.5 feet of water.13:16 To refloat the boat, the crew employs a kedge anchor technique, deploying a Fortress anchor via dinghy and winching the bow toward deeper water.7:00 Once the vessel is free, the Fortress anchor remains buried in the sand, requiring the crew to enlist the operator of a nearby shore-based construction excavator to pull the anchor loose using a crane.15:52 The crew notes that the area near the dredging operation is prone to shoaling and that many vessels frequently ground there due to missing or misleading markers.17:12 The incident highlights the effectiveness of the Fortress anchor in high-holding conditions, as the crew was unable to retrieve it manually by diving.6:01
