In a disastrous turn of events, the B is for Build channel's host receives a distressing call from the marina, revealing that his beloved 30-year-old Italian yacht has met a watery grave. The culprit? A relentless snowstorm and bone-chilling temperatures that caused the vessel to sink like a stone. It's a tragic sight to behold, with the boat resting at the bottom of the marina, a pitiful reminder of its former glory.
But fear not, for the host is not one to back down from a challenge. With the help of the Portland fire and rescue team, a valiant effort is made to salvage the sunken ship. Straps and fenders are strategically placed to lift the boat and prevent further submergence. It's a race against time, as freezing temperatures and treacherous ice make the task even more daunting.
As the recovery mission unfolds, thoughts turn to the possibility of restoring the boat to its former splendor. Despite the insurance company's reluctance to foot the bill, the host remains undeterred. After all, this is a fiberglass vessel, and with the right expertise and determination, it could rise from the depths like a phoenix.
Gratitude is expressed towards the marina staff for their unwavering support during this trying time. Their swift action and dedication have saved the boat from complete ruin. But the road to recovery is not without its challenges. A certified diving team is brought in to float the boat and identify the source of the leak. Bags are strategically placed, and with each passing moment, the boat begins to resurface, a testament to human resilience in the face of adversity.
As the boat slowly emerges from the depths, the host contemplates the future. Will this be a restoration project, or is it a lost cause? Only time will tell. But one thing is for certain: the B is for Build channel will stop at nothing to see this yacht sail once again, defying the odds and proving that even in the face of disaster, there is always hope for a triumphant comeback.
