2-Hour Emergency Retrieval in the Pitch Dark

“We were doing nine knots and we used it as a brake.” Dropping a Parasailor in the dark is one thing. Accidentally dropping the whole thing into the Atlantic while travelling at nine knots is quite another. For James Kenning and the crew of ARKYLA, what followed was an unplanned two-hour retrieval operation and a rather expensive lesson in just how quickly an ocean passage can go sideways. James recounts the incident, along with plenty of other moments when the Atlantic refused to follow the plan, in Episode 25 of the Berthon Podcast.
