Ep. 67 | Unser Boot ist weg. -Blue Horizon-

Finally back sailing We've covered 150 miles in the last video Although everything went well the last 30 hours after our long sailing break were quite exhausting We arrived four hours early at the river crossing tired and exhausted We can only enter during high tide because of our draft Without knowing that the greatest challenge of this tour was still ahead of us We are also anchored in the open Atlantic and waiting for the right moment to finally reach the safe current It's warm and unpleasant We are going swimming No not into that salt marsh So the situation is now as follows Ignore my hair for now that's just how it is on an adventure You can't always look good But that's not what this is about This is about survival The anchor didn't hold Now we've been dragged some 400 meters The next sandbank is ahead We've almost got our whole chain in I think he's holding on now Sometimes adventure is kind of funny But now I'm going to take a quick nap That's something you can afford to do at 10:21 So it's not yet 3:30 PM the time when we actually want to go in In two hours we can actually go in We had previously dropped the anchor but now the tide is coming in and it is extremely rough and extremely windy The anchor is no longer holding If we don't pull in now we'll run aground ahead That means we'll hoist him up now It's quite spectacular It's also the entire anchor chain outside If he's up there we'll go around for another two hours I'd say Until we can finally drive in We're on the move we'really going here we're already back in the blue zone Now two fishermen arrived with a fishing boat We threw them a rope to help us But above all we first need to bring in the anchor We have so much anchor chain out that it takes so long Now we've been waiting here all the time for them to pull us I hope everything works out because from ahead it looks flat A quick aside at this point We often get the question of how to actually support our channel You can support us simply by

through How deep What does he say How deep does he say Attention 60 What was 60 60 centimeters We now have a watch That means we are two and a half hours before high tide here That means it could be that it doesn't fit and we'll end up crashing here But these fishermen really want to pull us in We said two meters but they don't understand us We don't know if he means it fits or not They have been lying there the whole time standing and watching What Helena can you lower the camera What is this again Oh no This isn't normal Watch out Anchor We always have such situations panic situations where you really are scared and where you really think ---- And you think it should never happen again And it happens again and again while sailing Again and again Wow Okay we're set up Finally in safety The fishermen actually manage to pull us into the river before the maximum flood To hang outside on the tree and tilt the boat a bit more sideways Getting the keel out of the sand worked Despite the very frightening feeling when waves lift the 14-ton boa And crash mercilessly onto the hard sand For a plastic boat such a situation can mean total damage Our bilge has remained dry so far Therefore we do not expect damage to the welds We all go to sleep exhausted and set out the next day to look at our new surroundings We have now arrived at the new location Galinius One of the best kitesurfing spots We are currently on our new dinghy heading to the beach or the dock We will definitely check out the place and see what's going on here It definitely looks very promising so far Yes and now we're stopping somewhere here Here We just want to go to the beach over there We still haven 't found a freshwater shower here We showered using cans And here I am wondering what's here It's actually a tourist city but somehow every Oh what am I even saying here Nobody cares Let's get going Think about what you want to blab here first Hey a restaurant Nice nice Hello Hello good day He says whether we want to drink a conut Yes we do don't we Yes yes Coconut Yes Coco Coconut Water Four Coconut Water Carioca Rio de Janeiro Germany Germany yes Welcome Shrimp skewer Like it Coconut water Yes yes A garden a table and Over there too here and there Everything This moment was naturally quite surreal at first but gradually we realized just how serious the situation actually was Well Leonie Hey were coming back from the beach and suddenly our boat is here What is that Hey what What the hell Why is that there And it gets worse When we realize that every second now counts to save our swim at home and take off Thilo steps on a sharp stone and hurts his foot I am now in a hospital ward my foot is being sutured Another foolish mistake or what is a foolish mistake Our boat Somehow the dye has come off or it was stolen We don 't know yet Leonie and Jonas are on their way there Or try to save it I ran along the beach and there was such a big rock I ran into it and it just exploded And now I have this deep hole in my foot So were hiking see our boat somewhere on the river He took the entire buoy with him and a monster anchor We just hauled up the anchor and Thilo has injured himself unnecessarily I will show you the anchor Forward forward To the boat Leonie Okay yes Stop Yes yes Also I'm in now and without so much it has never happened to us in such a short time It's unbelievable Unbelievable The buoy didn't hold the one that pulled the entire buoy the boat pulled the whole buoy across here through the river with this Giant anchor and it just floats around the river We have it safe now so we have driven back to the place They have dropped the buoy again but theoretically it holds just as badly as before That means I'm now alone on the boat And make sure the boat doesn't drift away and otherwise I can only use the motor because I can't steer and hold the buoy at the same time They have all our phones I have nothing here We cannot write to them Also the fisherman said that one is treated here because of the masts as a sailboat it is so unusually windy We don't have a wind meter but it's definitely 40 knots or more and I'm already being dragged again You can see that I have taken a position and I am and the river that is I don' t know what to do now It makes no sense for us to throw away our own anchor because if I throw it away I can't bring it back up and if we the draggen then we're where we are with anchor chains that we can't lift up and so on I have now removed everything that creates wind resistance solar panels surfboard seat bags everything Here below Look how much wind there is here I have just deployed the heavy anchor again but I really don't understand it because one anchor goes in the direction e other anchor goes almost exactly into this line it goes exactly backward and I think the boat is not actually facing into the wind but rather The wind is coming exactly from ahead which means the current then turns the boat So that the boat is exactly broadside to the wind and that the anchor certainly cannot Now I get my windscreen from the sail the anchor can of course not and therefore the boat is practically pushed sideways Driven across the river I must do everything to not arrive at the other shore before the others return I don't have a cell phone I can't make contact Martin Yes You've really driven me far again haven't you Yes yes but only at first I'm holding the position Since the second anchor is in more or less but I'm running it comes up first I've arranged due to wind resistance Yes let's at the Tie the first buoy then throw the second buoy and then maybe our anchor Throw it back then it has to hold right The foot is well cared for we are now here with the dinghy with help here across we have been here for two or three hours now Waited for the wind to ease a bit it's still strong but we want to now haul up the two anchors and there behind Drive back to the side where it is a bit quieter there is still anchor at the buoy Reinhauen another anchor let's see how we do this now it's starting and I need to put on a shoe first Otherwise it will get wet Even deeper and high The actual buoy the one we just pulled into the river clean you can already see it there it comes out first And then there's this old-school monster anchor attached to it Well good thing the painkillers are still working then you don't feel the foot so much Turn a bit more to the left to the left Let it go now Where is the buoy It's already here in front Is it fixed here Yes it's still fixed to the ground Anyway push the other one in but we're also pulling hard We're dragging a lot you know Where 's the buoy It's already there way in the back But what should we do Should we pull everything up again Yes why didn't we anchor there What's written on the map What kind of lead is this now Yes according to the propulsion as last time here We have now hauled up this big heavy anchor buoy again and we now need to find a good one here Looking for a place where we can fasten ourselves again and that 's quite difficult because we don't have these conditions at all We don't know how deep it is the map is completely wrong and this anchor is really heavy Also no need to worry it's still dark too it's all messed up here again really Actually we managed to anchor the boat in place by also tying it to the white canister With the additional large anchor at the bow and a stern anchor at the back our boat is already secure for several days Sometimes we ourselves can't believe what's happening here but ultimately we're also on an adventure We thank you again for watching We are happy when you support us Until next time
