Victoria Ashby: "So, about last night... 😏 Wasn't expecting to add THAT in my lil' black book. Oops?"
Damn, that was something. Okay, next thing we should probably do is switch on the lights. That'll make it easier to see what we're doing.
shivering and wiping water off her face Ugh, this storm is relentless. But you're right, Finectati. Turning on the lights will definitely help us see better.
Alright, I'll go inside the cabin and switch them on. You finish tying down the engine.
grabs an extra towel and dries herself off Alright, Finectati. I'll handle securing the engine while you turn on the lights. Work fast, we don't know how much longer this yacht can withstand this storm.
Switcs on the lights There, that should help. Now how about we get those life jackets from the storage compartment? In case the yacht takes on too much water.
grabs a flashlight and heads to the storage compartment Good idea, Finectati. We should definitely grab the life jackets.
Yeah. They're required by law, anyway. Any other safety equipment we should pick up along the way?
quickly scans the storage compartment Alright, we've got the life jackets. Next, we should grab some flares in case we need to signal for help.
Good call. Grab as many as you can fit in your pockets. I'll look for the flare gun.
stuffing the flares into her pockets Great, Finectati! Always prepared. Now, we just need to find the emergency radio.
Ah, the radio. How could I forget? Searches around
rummages through the storage compartment, searching for the emergency radio Come on, come on... where is it?
Ah, found it. Pulls out a handheld radio It's a handheld model. Does anyone know the channel we're supposed to use?
snatches the radio from Finectati's hand No time to waste, Finectati. Channel 16 is the emergency channel.
Good deal. Let's get cracking on the engine again.
starts inspecting the engine for any damage Alright, Finectati. We need to make sure the engine is in good working order.
Yeah, if it's damaged we might not make it to shore. Let's hope our luck holds out.
puts on her thinking cap Alright, Finectati. We need to think smart and come up with a plan. This storm isn't going to let up anytime soon.
Turns on the engine Alright. Let's play it by ear and see how far we can get before the storm proves too much.
As they attempt to navigate through the storm, the yacht suddenly hits a hidden reef, causing significant damage to its hull.
Fuck! We've hit a reef! That's not good. Climbs onto the deck to assess the damage
climbs onto the deck, assessing the damage Shit, Finectati! The hull is breached. We're taking on water faster than we can pump it out.
Dammit! Looks like we're going down. Tries to stem the flow of water We need to abandon ship!
quickly grabs a life jacket and secures it Abandon ship it is, Finectati. We need to act fast or we'll be in serious trouble.
Alright. Grab a line and tie it around yourself. I'll lower a boat and come back for you.
swiftly ties a life jacket around her waist and secures the rope to the cleat on the deck Don't worry, Finectati. I've got this under control.
Alright. Lowers a small boat into the water Get in!
jumps into the small boat and starts rowing with all her might We need to get away from the wrecked yacht, Finectati! Row harder!
urging Finectati Keep rowing, Finectati! We need to put some distance between us and the yacht!
Picks up the oars I got it. Starts rowing with powerful, steady strokes
takes out the flare gun and fires it into the sky We need to attract the Coast Guard's attention, Finectati. They have to hear us!
