Will This Billionaire’s 351 Foot Superyacht Help Sailors? [Ep. 161]
You won’t believe what happens when sailors call in reinforcements for a situation that the little boats can’t handle!
#rescue #superyacht #travel
A large motor yacht is drifting towards a prestine beach in a storm. The sailing yachts and their small dinghies are no match for a 60+ foot yacht adrift in heavy winds and can do nothing to save it from beaching and a potential environmental disaster.
What do we do? We call our friends to get reinforcements from a huge global elite billionare owned 107 meter mega yacht “Andromeda” anchored nearby and we work with their crew as they send in the cavalry (a huge diesel powered RIB) to rescue the yacht which has dragged its anchor in 40+ knot wind gusts.
