DISASTER STRIKES CREW WHEN WE CAPSIZE FAR FROM VELA NEAR A DANGEROUS REEF

Made it. Dark side of the lagoon. Flying fish. Look for the path. Ah, okay. Pirate Ivan arrives! You made it in! I sensed a higher coolness. The real deckhand has come. Boat looks so good. It survived the storm. We survived the storm. Wow! Hey, you got a line off the side. Got a little line. Oh, nice. Wow. Look at these guys. Beautiful. Beautiful, look at it. Get some shade, man. Dude, it's hard to see the guys in the boat. You guys are camo lords. Should I... Is he allowed to operate that? The flag is raised. We're now officially... Very exciting. We're going to do another crossing. Hop a few more islands. And check out some epic reefs. We got Ivan on board, so officially... Me, John, and Ivan. Eric and Bora are the crew. Three brothers on a trip together. Second time in the last six months. We love it. Living the dream. The freaking sun is out! Super thin. Sun shirt for sailing. Or anything you want to do. John's got the short-sleeved version on. Different stories from many walks of life. We did our best to make a way. It didn't turn out right. In talks of all the gold. Make a man think twice. About his life at home. Dude, you gotta look up. Look at the seas. Look up guys. We got chased in by a 48 knot storm. So we're going to anchor up. Tucked inside this little lagoon. Outside it's a big storm. Crazy winds. We're going to rest here for a bit. There's two nets out there. Add a place for a little rest up. Made it. Dark side of the lagoon. Okay, a little mini one. I had challenging conditions. Challenging from both sides. I couldn't even get the paddle an inch underwater without hitting reed. You understand, right? Eric. You understand, right? It's fishing school. Clams are right here, I think. Where? That way. That was sick. What's that last looking like? Find it. This thing is full on just haze right now. That's epic. What about the mysterious haze? Yeah, that's all the rain. New island with a mysterious haze. We stopped in at this other little island. Super pretty. Did epic. Met this cool little village family and friends. And they were farming some clams. And we got off the boat. We did some diving. We looked at some reefs that have potential. Didn't do any surfing. Said there's a lot of sharks. Hung out for a few days. Epic little rest. And now we're on our way again. We've arrived at a mysterious island. Of the name, we don't know. We actually don't. Ivan's really wanted to get to a new spot. How's that action? Nice! Good flying. First try. That was crazy. Spotted in. We're getting so much better. Indeed. We're going to have a collage of landings. Actual. Nice catch. Oh no, it canceled out. I just did one that way. Got it. And somehow it worked. It's getting better. It's too easy now. Better. More wind. More waves. We need to up the conditions. Healing. Whoa. Pull the board off. Sit on it. Because we're going to have to start paddling it. We're going to turn it back this way. Here, use this Eric. And I'm going to paddle with John. Empty it with that bottle I gave you. We just need to get to the inside of this one. No way we want to go around. That's the last one before the big current. Where's the radio? Oh. Here, tie a loop and put it in our feet until we can really paddle. Here, put this in our feet. What happened? It just went like this. Yeah. Oh, we're getting closer. The anchor might be in there. Do you think the feel has salt water in it? Put that thing inside maybe. Yeah. Are you holding on? Either paddle or push or get in. Yeah, definitely get in the boat and drag it. Because they went all the way on it. The pirates are here and I win. Note to self. We got one spot and then when you guys were coming, you threw the pirates of the Caribbean. It's so good. You on the top rowing and these three. It's so good. Considering we're back on the boat, things are going okay. We were foiling to the backwash wave and the dingus got flipped. Prop in the air made a crazy noise. Luckily no one got hit by it. I turned back downwinding and John, Eric, and Ivan are under the dinghy in the water. Totally flipped. I think we were probably a mile or over a mile from the boat and we had to drain it, which somehow worked. It took like 30 minutes. Two guys paddled it to a reef, anchored it, drained it. Then with one guy rowing, three guys paddling and switching off for about an hour and a half, we paddled a mile and a half back to the boat upwind. Great adventure. Great workout. Now we're left with trying to get this motor back together. We're lucky we're all ready to paddle and row because we're next to a sketchy reef with this current pulling out. Wind pulling us onto the reef. We pulled it off. With only one lost phone casualty and probably one camera done. Which the card was okay and Eric got the clips off. It's all we could hope for. Everyone in one piece. Clips saved. You guys get to watch it. Ready with the throttle? That was the longest hit. Ready with your throttle? It's blushing something out. That's what I said. If it keeps running longer and longer, it's like each time it's bigger. Current! Current! Yay! We got it! I'm going to send an update. We got it. Thanks to Nate's supervision of the operation. Now that I've come in and supervised and a couple of loose bolts and pulling with power. The ship's back on the water. Watch the drum.
