We're Beached As Bro | Sailing with the Jameses (Ep. 124)

"Beached As Bro" Episode 124 Today we are sailing the Sandy Straits, a notorious stretch of water known for its ever shifting sand bars. Our adventure takes an unexpected turn near the infamous "Corner of Death." But before we start our sail today, we are assisting in a sailboat rescue - a boat has capsized in the channel and is slowly sinking and drifting on the outgoing tide out to sea.
