Submerged, not moved. float another day. Lifeboats forever. You only sink once. Rockcracker. Sink and let it swim. The man in the sinking boat. No Mr. Pot, I expect you to float!
In case my puns weren’t enough as a gift, a James Bond superyacht called “007” hit a bit of a rough patch in the waters off the Greek coast. The 160-foot-tall superyacht, which is said to be owned by an as yet unnamed Swiss businessman, appears to have been experiencing a GPS malfunction. A GPS malfunction caused the ship to sail just 50 feet from shore where it hit rocks and began sucking up water before capturing and then sinking.
The Greek Coast Guard responded to the distress call and then rescued five passengers stranded off the shores of Kolona Bay on the island of Kythnos. At the time of the rescue, the boat had already capsized. Within a few hours it was completely submerged.
A drone captured the crazy scene from above:
The red fender you see around the yacht in the video above is an anti-pollution fender put in place by the Coast Guard in case any fuel starts to leak onto the vessel. Fortunately, the boat’s fuel tank did not puncture at any time and there was apparently no damage on the local coast.
Before it sank, the 007 was a five-compartment ship that could comfortably sleep up to 11 passengers and light crew. As you can see in the video above, the boat also has a helipad.
Here’s what it looked like in the better times, in June 2020:
