    The "Nordic Lily", a SanLorenzo SL78 motor yacht, was stranded on the beach of Pinedo (Spain) due to a health problem of the owner who had to be hospitalized, the crew was not able to prevent the boat from running aground on Monday 3 June 2024.
    On Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th, an attempt was made to launch it with the help of two tugboats that failed in the operation by pulling it.
    On Saturday June 8, with the help of a platform and two backhoes, the boat was managed to float, leaving it anchored in the place where it was stranded for subsequent transfer to port the next day for repairs.
    The procedure was to remove the sand using backhoes, making a path, and then pulling the yacht to remove it from the stern, then a tugboat helped finish the work

    That's sad. It's a SL86 not a 78; it's our neighbouring boat in Antibes. Looks repairable.

    I've spent many hours on an excavator... can't imagine running one on a pitching barge in rough surf. Kudos to the operator.
