We ran aground up a river once (inland from Faro in Portugal) but luckily it was on sand. We took the anchor out as far as we could in our 2.5 HP dingy, which wasn't far at all, and thankfully a full tide and winching us off the bank helped free us.

For those of you asking questions about this incident I am youngest daughter of the family that shipwrecked on Tanda Malaika. Just to clarify somethings, we hadn't planned to enter port at night and at the time of the incident we were sailing along the coast, not entering port. I can assure all of you that we didn't mean to damage or dirty the reef and we did our best to clean it up. We had traveled safely aboard her for two years prior the accident and never anticipated anything like it to happen. We had insurance for the full two years other than the month of the accident because we were switching insurance companies. And we didn't plan on just leaving her there, we were trying to find someone that had the money to fix her. We didn't salvage her ourselves because it would have cost almost more money (and time) to repair her than to buy a new boat. A local has taken her on land and is making her into a home again and I hope he has an amazing time and lots of laughs aboard her. For those of you saying its our fault, we already know that. We take full responsibility. I'd like to thank those of you that stood up for my family. It means so much to me. And for the people criticizing us, you might be surprised to know that it doesn't make grieving any easier. If any of you have any more questions here is my Mum's blog: adventuresofatribe.wordpress.com . If your someone that hasn't quite left home port yet, I encourage you to do so. Amazing adventures lay ahead. Happy sailing and safe travels, Emma Willis from the Tanda Malaika tribe P.S. If any of you have pictures or know the details of her being taken off the reef please contact me at emmaloou87@gmail.com

What an amazing time you all must have had in the two years of sailing, but what a tragedy for it to have ended for your home to run aground and not be able to do anything to save it. Ignore the haters and ill informed comments, what is important is that you are all safe to sail another day sometime. Fair winds to you and your family.

Every circumnavigatior I've met has had the most curious caution with the modern chartplotter. It seems the most experienced they get, the less they trust electronic trickery. The loss of a vessel to rocks or shore is more common than one to rough sea. Knowing this keeps me very cautious of land, particularly a lee shore at any time of the day or night. Regarding some of the careless comments here: Its easy to criticize from any position, be it a couch or from your own blue water vessel. Unless you were there and lived the circumstances leading up to this tragic and terrifying event, keep your nasty comments to yourself. The islanders will have had this vessel stripped off the reef in no time. There will be almost no sign she was ever there by now.

Very sad, and proof that an experienced sailor's instinct about not relaxing until well out to sea is a good one. Lubbers always ask if I'm worried about sinking out at sea. "No" I tell them. "All the bad stuff happens near the shore". So double check your chart, course, and position regularly at sea, especially if you are within 10 miles or so of land. This could have turned out much worse for the family, thankfully it didn't. Here's hoping they get a new boat soon, and continue their journey. ...and to the haters - It's wise to remember that this sort of thing can happen to anyone, even the very best sailors in history have lost boats to reefs and beaches. Bernard Moitessier, one of the greatest single handed sailors of all time lost 3 boats during his career, so have a little humility and compassion here.

I am an airplane pilot but I am also a total landlubber other than ski boats on lakes. As I watch these videos I am shocked at how often Ashly mentioned that charts are off by MILES. I have every expectation that my aviation charts are accurate down to a few meters. I know I can hit the runway with towels over the windows. I KNOW I will not fly into that TV tower in fog. In this day an age of Satnav/GPS/digital charts I am SHOCKED to find that you could be indicating deep water on your GPS/chart and yet plow into a reef! I will say it one more time. I find that stunning and terrifying!

The most important thing is that no one got hurt. You can replace anything but life. Accidents at sea happens even to the most experienced sea men. Whatever little damage happened to the reef is not more important than people's lives. Besides the reef will heal itself. What i dont understand are the high and mighty idiots who are negatively commenting on a sad accident as if they intentionally did that !!! Jealousy is a bitch. Wish you the best.

Well, since you asked, by saying "I cant understand...", let me explain it to you. First of all, saving human lifes is a form of ideology, towards witch you were raised up and indoctrinated with collective social belifs, parenting, school, TV, internet,ect. That doesnt make it so. I can argue, but I wont, that homo sapiens is omnicidal psychopathic species, responsible for 6th mass extinction, a dead end virus like mistake of a nature, and that we all deserve to die in a mass extinction. I wont argue that, as there is nothing to argue about. Its the fact. Other homo sapiens, that you are so outraged about, the one that yaps about koral reef damage, they are only reacting to their envy, thinking how ritch people enjoys life on the seas, while destroying nature. Nothing could be further from the truth, like you properly stated for the wrong reasons. These people are among the best that species homo produced, living full life to their ability in this set of living arrangements. And yes, reef will recover from this wreck, but it wont recover from homo sapiens. Not for the next 10-20 milion years it wont.

Another great edit you two!!! Such a shame about Tanda Malaika... Note to all, head these warnings: Thank you for contacting Navionics. We were very sorry to learn of this unfortunate incident. The Navionics chart of Huahine, is derived from official French Hydrographic Office Charts as well as satellite imagery. Despite our accuracy, charts have errors whether it is a result of survey errors or source errors. This applies to ALL charts, whether government or private, official or otherwise. The International Hydrographic Organization stated that less than 10% of the seas are charted as well as the Moon, and even that 10% contains errors. This is why the common rules of navigation require that skippers, in addition to official charts, use multiple sources of information, including sailing directions, cruising guides, radar, sonar, local diligence and good eyesight. With the best chart in the world, one should never get close to coral reefs at full speed and at night, but rather when the sun is highest, at very slow speed, and with a person on watch on the bow. This is the only way to ensure that breaking waves be spotted from a distance, and that possible uncharted coral heads be avoided. The warnings that go with all charts are not there to protect the chart makers, but rather to protect the chart users from making mistakes in over-reliance on any one tool of navigation. A review of this topic can be found here www.navionics.com/fra/blog/post/proper-use-of-electronic-charts/ Best regards, Mary-Ellen Smith Navionics Global Customer Service Manager

+arumrunner thanks for the comment! It is important to remember that not all charts are accurate! We have encountered a few reefs/islands that are off enough to cause serious problems on both navionics and the cm-93 maps we have in opencpn. The San Blas, Beveridge Reef and Huahine to name a a few. We have found satellite imagery and cruisers sharing of other hand scanned charts have helped us along the way. Feel free to email us for more info! (Ash)

I and some friend tried to save a sailboat that hit a reef we ran to help and tried to push it off the rock. What we learn was best to anchor down right away, cause the waves or big set will push it it up more on the reef and that middle ridge prevent us to push it back unless the waves comes. And you can’t push it that mass vs wave is too large. Don’t know if the anchor would hold it stead and if it did just wait till high tide comes around again. But if it’s way up the reef high tide isn’t of help. Reallly sad to see a boat on rocks.

onthebeaches1 A lot of these reefs are out in the middle of the ocean not close to any land at all. They're just uncharted. Pretty scary to me. Look up Bassas da India on Google maps. Delos had an episode where they went there and it had tons of shipwrecks. It's out there in the middle of the ocean. I think on passage, they almost have to sail? Otherwise, I'd guess you'd just be drifting. If your watch person can't see it and it's not on your charts.....

@@sails3538 Makes sense since all the photographs are taken by satellites in space. While Google Earth surfing I have taken note of underwater formations, but never realized they could be used as a navigation aid, pretty cool. I'm no sailor, but my dad was and when I was a kid I went out with him on his friend's Steel Craft boat to go salmon fishing well beyond the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. People who are familiar with the "Potato Patch" beyond the gate know it as being pretty damn treacherous and downright scary sometimes. However, on this occasion the seas were calm and I was thankful for that, but it was so foggy out you could only see about 30'. I went to the bow of the boat at one point for no reason and not long after I picked up the sound of waves crashing ahead of us. I realized right away it was the sound of waves crashing on rocks and then observed a scary sight, indeed, waves crashing on an exposed rocky formation and if it had not been for me yelling to turn left we would have struck them. Fortunately, the rocks were just off the right side of the centerline, the seas were calm and we weren't going that fast because of bad visibility, so turning the boat allowed us to miss the rock formation by about 5' to 7'. It was an eerie experience and I remember the boat owner arguing with my dad about navigating afterward.

You can order 5 packets a time online via the UK or NZ. Keep on sharing!

Isn't something existing like a huge balloon which you can pump with air or other gas you use for diving and get the boat back to the next deck? And isn't google maps also useful to navigate carefully? I only did some boating several times and I always used that and it was always working properly.

I explained the situation, shared the video and asked them how much it would cost and also asked them to comment in this channel. My guestimate is that it would cost 8000 USD, and the boat would cost around 150.000 USD. Looking forward to their response :)

@@greengay4924 I received a kind and informative response from TNH helicopters, here it goes: Dear Eddy, Thank you for your email. This kind of work cannot be done by helicopter. This is too dangerous. Unfortunately this is not uncommon for catamaran or other boat to become stranded on the reef. Many of them are being abondonned due to the damages being too grave.. Hope this answer your question. Take care. In response (fyi) I suggested them to perhaps develop a heavy duty inflatable, one that they could be hoisted next to the boat, inflate, float da boat, and push out to sea. (always full of ideas) :)

Actually, seasickness is caused when the brain cannot process the conflicting information fast enough to solve the conflict. So, you have to speed up the brain. The first thing the brain needs is energy. Anything that increases the energy in your brain is helpful. Keeping you warm, reduces the need for heating energy that can be used by the brain now. Drinking warm and eating enough is helpful. You can also use more sophisticated approaches like MCT powder, Arginine, ... And you can increase the blood flow to the brain like with Ginger and Gingsen. There are multiple possibilities to enhance your brain function.

I don't know if it immediately sustained massive flooding damage but if possible: dinghie out to land all the heaviest stuff, fill the bilge areas with something voluminous that could displace taking on water, creative use of fenders to mitigate keel scrape, set an anchor out towards deeper water with windlass tension, cut down a few small trees and try to leverage the boat upward and/or use them to roll the keels over. Four helpers minimum, daylight, calm waters, no giant reef formations, and other things out of one's control, sadly.

What I would have done if it were my boat is to use simple jacks to lift the boat up out of the water. Seal up what needed to be sealed up and place it back down on several sheets of plywood. This ma y require some special framing. Then with a winch from a well anchored position I would begin to pull it off the reef keeping several sheets of plywood under the keels as it slipped along between sheets of plywood. Boat could be towed by fellow cruisers or even put on a few outboards.

I'm thinking about sailing.. I'm just curious (so I can learn), wouldn't the anchor stop this from happening, or was the anchor not applied and stretched out correctly? Also, don't the depth monitors also catch these? I think I read in the comments it wasn't charted so the electronic maps didn't know it was there.. What about a depth monitor, or radar or consomer sonar, would either prevent something like this (whenever I get a sailboat) aor any other electroncis recommended?

Tropical reefs are like cliffs, so depth sounders and anchors are useless. Stay well offshore or get fcked like these fools.
