Dismasted in the middle of the Atlantic. You won't believe what happens at the end // #80
Soooo maybe we shouldn't have moaned about being bored in our last video because things were about to get CrAzY!!! No in all honesty, we are seriously grateful that our journey crossing the Atlantic went exactly as it did beforehand and our time aligned perfectly with finding this stranded man on his dismasted yacht. It was a French boat and at the time we had found out that his boat had been dismasted by a squall three days prior to us finding him. We can only imagine how scared and uncomfortable he must have been rolling around the Atlantic waves and not knowing how long it would be for. When we saw him and edged closer, we saw him wave a little pink cloth to get our attention. Once we grabbed the line he put out for us, he fell to his knees and prayed. A vision we will never forget. In this video you will see when we first spotted the dismasted yacht and the stranded man rolling around the seas. We immediately took out all our spare rope and rigged up a tow line as best we could. As night set in, the sea state gets worse and we try to call the surrounding coastguards for help incase the tow line snaps again during the night? you won't believe what happens at the end of this video ?? ? Welcome to our Sailing Vlog - Sailing Coco! After 7 years of renovating boats, we restored our Snapdraggon 27, sailed our 33ft Colvic Countess Monohull around the Med and then left London for good once we bought a Lucia 40 Fountaine Pajot Catamaran!
