00:00This morning we got this very strong Orkan gust and we had to start the engine to keep the ship in an anchor position
00:13and we watched the ship behind us not to touch them and we managed to keep the ship in position
00:22and after the storm was over we noticed that the ship behind us was gone.

01:12This morning we got this very strong Orkan gust and we had to start the engine to keep the ship in an anchor position
01:31and we watched the ship behind us not to touch them and we managed to keep the ship in position
01:40and after the storm was over we noticed that the ship behind us was gone.
01:48And then we saw a red flare, so my first mate and I went to the position and we found this life raft drifting
02:04with 15 people inside, 4 people injured, 3 heavy injured and we brought them to our ship
02:18and then we communicated with the coast guard and after some time the coast guard came
02:24and later they picked injured people and maybe 1-2 hours later they picked up the other people.
02:32I think it was a gust of 1204, it's a strong Orkan gust, very strong, very strong and we have been healing also a lot
02:45but the other ship, strange enough it's 55 meters I think with a 72 meters long mast
02:53and they went flat on the water and then down.
02:58So once with a light we saw that the ship was aside and then we saw a triangle so I think she went back.
03:14Terrible, terrible moments.
03:17And in the life raft was also a little baby and the wife of the owner, the owner and her child are still inside I guess.
03:28So it was a big disaster.
