Ep. 27 | Flüchtlinge im Schlauchboot entdeckt! Was tun? - Blue Horizon-

Then we hope things are going well here Today there is relatively a lot of wind All of them will come back 10 15 boats The returnees With a damn canoe with 20 people they're there with about two old guys In a phase of major life decisions one reflects on what truly matters Looking back the moments in which we experienced something extraordinary were the most influential That's why we decided to go on the journey of our lives in a sailboat and discover the world We are before a bridge beneath which we do not know if we will fit Now we've taken down the sails and Jonas is up there testing it to see if it fits We should try it anyway Damn it Yes the antenna would definitely have broken We are not on the North Sea today but on the Seeland lakes because there is too much wind So that we couldn't go to sea and are now practically sailing across the lakes today all the way to Vlissingen Hopefully we will make it there We've already had a few showers here but they passed quickly so it's all half as bad And we have to drive with the motor because the wind is coming straight from the front again Was that it already It really pours After the rain shower we encountered 30-knot winds and high waves on the same day on the East Scheldt But they then found another harbor and relaxedly sailed along the canal the next day all the way to Vlissingen and arrived safely there We are in Vlissingen today in the city harbor right in the middle of the city And the next two days will have a lot of wind and we don't want to do it or can't sail in that wind That's why we're staying here and looking at the city and yes it's starting now Are you ready Yes Let's go Model We're looking for a nice place to eat We are leaving the harbor of Vlissingen now and heading towards Blankenberge under engine power because there is probably not enough wind If it's going to be a very easy trip then let's go Actually we had planned to go only to Blankenberge but the motor trip worked so well because there was little wind That we made it directly to Newport in Belgium We didn't stay in Newport for very long just one night and the next day went straight on to Dunkirk in France Also we are now in France It's a really great feeling because we're finally somewhere in another country which sounds somewhat exotic We stayed only one night in Dunkirk and then wanted to go to Calais It was indeed very windy we thought were prepared but then it really started We are now in Dunkirk and want to drive to Calais Today there is quite a bit of wind even here in the harbor but we have cleaned up the entire deck now Everything that could cause disturbance has been cleared away and they are now ready to focus solely on the sails So it can go and it will be a pretty wild sailing day today We have the storm jib up now which is our smallest sail for the most wind That's about 25 nautical miles and if we maintain a speed of 5 knots we should make it in about 5 hours We have the current with us when we arrive at 8 or 9 o' clock it's high tide and the weather should remain constant Maybe it will rain a little but that's not bad we have full gear on Let's go Today is actually a bit windy but tomorrow will be even windier and many sailboats will go out We are also setting off now The wind is coming from the right direction The only advantage today This is the advantage that's why we actually go with ourselves right Yes We go around the wave back there and then come back Come back all 10 15 boats We think so yes they all go out Watch out for him he comes back too They will all come back The returnees have too much action Wild wild out there Read comfortable But we need to raise the sails now We still have the motor on now We now have the storm jib up and the forces are strong and the mainsail And the swell is very high It's not going quite as smoothly as expected We are now going at six knots but we do have the engine running We should be there in about three and a half hours now And we've already accomplished a bit Along the coast you can see industrial facilities and from there we just go out They are now a bit further back For now things are going pretty well because a while ago we almost ended up on the beach and had a bit of a knot That's already better than drifting around aimlessly now Now let's see what else we can change The sailing day was still tiring but we arrived safely in Cali and then went for a skateboard tour What's the plan We're leaving now go shopping buy SIM cards take a great photo There is a mobile phone SIM card provider here in France You can buy 100 GB for 20 euros These are just machines in some kiosks We're right on the trail So this is still a bit mysterious All stores are open except for the one That is the only one that is closed Oh We can never open the car Say Yes here do film it Sorry So we are here in Cali at 5 a m And we have a bright full moon We are out here for the second time at night And we have no wind a mirror-like sea And we're just cruising out to sea in a relaxed manner And it's really crazy that we always just don't have any wind This is the very first time without a wave here That's crazy With a rubber raft with 20 people Hey they can't really do that When you pass by and just see it at they are living at the minimum level of existence and one just passes by without knowing what is right and wrong It's just hard to imagine what kind of solution could have existed In the end there's nothing we can do You can't just bring them over You can't just go there and take them because there are 20 people And that makes the police report difficult Then that is their dream They do it for some kind of motivation What is also hard to understand then That it has come to this Regardless of the current situation These 20 people are here without life jackets And we can all see how important that is to everyone Here they always say you must wear a life jacket Without it nothing is possible And this will then be quickly and sharply criticized And with them it's somehow irrelevant And it doesn't matter to anyone So it's kind of a mistake in the system which makes it not so important at that point The thing is situations like these Somehow all the problems you have suddenly become relative This is often discussed under our videos Do the three have a radio license Do the three have a sailing license Is there any problem What are they doing wrong What are they doing right For us it's already a problem when we set off in the morning and the wind is coming from the front Or something is neither broken on the boat and you somehow feel foolish when you then experience something like that so directly and in fact had considered one of these things as a real problem beforehand while being so close to a person in total distress Here comes a coast guard boat that has been traveling for a while I'd say they are heading there for those things because the probability that they will not be discovered is so low We just saw a minefield on the map It's marked down there red fields and it just runs It was a human garden 50 years ago the one who planted mines We now want to drive here relaxed Nothing bad We have to go around that We will just be redirected there And hopefully there aren't too many minefields here anymore We are still next to the minefield but about another 10 nautical miles until we reach Dieb Also about another 2 hours Then we'll be there We have arrived in Dieb Approximately 100 nautical miles have been covered today That 's the entrance to the harbor There are always cliffs and coasts here It looks really nice A few houses standing together This is now the first extreme tidal harbor here The tide is 8.60 meters here You can also see it on the wall above Normally the water is just much higher We are lucky that it doesn't dry up here right now But all the other harbors here along the coast There's no water left in the harbor basin We would be lying there like a fish that has fallen onto land From there good luck until tonight here Okay what's the plan here We're going to Ponton now 8 9 or 10 Then behind the chainsaw between the white we pack it in the box Nice I'll take a tow line here Jonas also takes a towel Then we go in And now it's over because I can't hold it anymore Everything went well Now let's take a look at the cliffs And fly the drone around a bit more or something Do you still have an SD card Well maybe Is it full It was full after two coasts So that's it for now with the video From Dirk it continues along the French coast to Le Havre our destination is Japres and finally Kaya It's crazy what has already happened here so far A lot of input many challenges a lot of information and a lot of skill And you keep learning more and more That's definitely really cool A really cool blog is coming from Leonie We had an experience today It made us all think a little And that is written in the blog It is a really good article It is on our website Can we also link under the video And then a blog So check it out for sure And it will definitely make you think again Exactly it would be cool if you drop by And otherwise thanks for watching Until next time Peace Ciao
