Terrifying Sailing Emergency at Night!

Every sailor's worst nightmare… and it happened to us in the middle of the night. 😳🌊 While sailing through Indonesia, we found ourselves in a situation no sailor wants to face. Our propeller became completely tangled in a massive fishing net, leaving us with a serious problem and no easy way out. With darkness all around us, there was only one option. Suit up in scuba gear, jump into the ocean, and try to cut the net free by hand. Armed with a hacksaw and underwater lights, we descended beneath the boat to see just how bad the damage was. What we found was a nightmare of tangled fishing line wrapped tightly around our propeller. This is the side of living aboard a sailboat that you don't always see. The incredible adventures come with unexpected challenges, dangerous situations, and moments when you just have to figure things out.
