Trawler aground in Saint Jean de Luz
The "Sailfort - SN 916455" ran aground in the entrance of the port of Saint-Jean-de-Luz on Oct 22, 2018, at 7 a.m. on a sandbar. The trawler had deviated from its course to let another boat pass. His captain, though accustomed to the port, found his ship then trapped during his maneuver due to the low water level. The ship listed to starboard side as the tide dropped, but the situation was under control. The crew was now waiting for the tide to rise with the highest level expected around 4 p.m. French report with photo and video: https://www.sudouest.fr/2018/10/22/video-saint-jean-de-luz-un-chalutier-s-echoue-sur-un-banc-de-sable-a-la-sortie-du-port-5501573-4018.php
