点评:On day 4, the motor quit while in rough waters and we had wind gust of 25-30 miles an hour and we were trying to navigate with only a jib to prevent from crashing into the rocks .
This happened at 12:34pm our way from Cane Garden to Norman Island .
We used all the emergency numbers listed,
We were told by sunsail they would be there to tow us by 1 pm.
From 12-5 pm - we waited. Contacted the Coast Guard via the radio . Lost cell phone coverage and finally tried dialing 911.
We were finally able to drop an anchor in Smith Bay at 5pm when the motor turned on for a minute.
911 in the USA was able to connect us with Sunsail and arrange emergency towing .
We sat for over 5 hrs with life jackets on in case we crashed .
It wasn’t until 7pm that a towing company rescued us .
There emergency services was woefully inadequate.
翻译:第四天,船在波涛汹涌的海面上突然熄火,风速高达每小时25-30英里,我们只能用前帆航行,以免撞上岩石。
这发生在下午12:34,当时我们从甘蔗园前往诺曼岛。
我们拨打了所有列出的紧急电话号码。
Sunsail公司告诉我们,他们会在下午1点前来拖船。
从下午12点到下午5点,我们一直在等待。我们通过无线电联系了海岸警卫队。手机信号中断,最后我们尝试拨打911。
下午5点,我们终于在史密斯湾抛锚,当时发动机启动了一分钟。
美国的911电话帮我们联系了Sunsail公司,并安排了紧急拖船。
我们穿着救生衣,在船上待了5个多小时,以防万一撞船。
直到晚上7点,一家拖车公司才把我们救出来。
他们的紧急救援服务严重不足。
