That man does not have to send them to the sandbar in a storm like this.

Perhaps you can turn around. Perhaps they have already lost.

They can not go out.

You know Bernie, right? You know he will not be lost there.

You know he follows the rules. - Yes, we know.

We're all going to dock. Let's see if there's anything we can do.

You can come if you want.

Miriam, kom hier.

Excuse me, you are ordering Cluff? - Who are you?

I am the girlfriend Miriam Pentinen Bernie Webber. I want to recall Bernie.

The lady in which I asked for it. You know what you want to do?

Your permission to marry me. - That's between you, him and his God.

I ask me is just a formality. He can marry whomever she wants.

I did not know? But you can not be here.

It's Bernie.

Chatham sandbar in a straight line along.

- 36500, Chatham train station.

Go to the back of Pendleton.

I have not received Chatham train station. The conditions are extreme.

Why give us permission if you send it to death?

For the love of God? Gouthro out of here.

Lord, the wind has increased from 40 to 60 from the first message.

That will be hurricane strength within an hour. - Gouthro, he has his orders.

So out of here, and go to bed. You're too sick to be here.

36500, Chatham train station, continue on the sandbar.

Again, continue.

If you're over it, go directly south.

The radar showed a beep.

About 16 km east of Monomoy Point to the south. About.

Chatham train station, this is the 500. Thank you.

I have heard what everyone says. You do not know what you are doing.

Excuse me? - Maybe because you are not from the neighborhood.

You do not know how it is there. - How do you know what it feels like, miss?

Please call back.

How do you think is going to marry someone in the Coast Guard?

Please call you back.

Do you come here every time shooed if you are in the water?

Call them back. - You do not belong here.

Call them back. - Out of here. From my station.

And back home where you belong, Miss. - Call back.

Far from my station.

The coast is behind us.

The only possibility is a sharp turn, if the chains holding it.

We could capsize.

That is good.

You must remain, guys.

If such links and chains are broken, so go through you.

Here we go.

She moves.

Hear that? That's the sandbar.

A few more minutes, guys.

when I was a small child

He told my mother

me ahead at full speed

forward

Full speed ahead, Joe

I met a Yankee girl

maar ze vet was in lui

Full speed ahead

Full speed ahead, Joe

when I met an Irish girl who drives me crazy

Full speed ahead

Full speed ahead, Joe

and now at full speed, we are required to better weather

Full speed ahead

Full speed ahead, Joe

Boys. We will not see much.

So you have to listen to the waves. And counting.

So I'm waiting for a sign, then go. - We have faith that, Skip.

When finished, go, Bernie.

The compass is gone.

Fitzy, motor is dood.

I have it. - No, you are not.

It has about five seconds, guys.

It is gravity, I do not know ... - I know.

Come on, opens.

Maske. Come here.

The tide is rising. This brings us through.

But let me know what is coming.

Hey, Fitz. We are on the sandbar it. Back to the stage.

I'm coming.

We have become too late.

Then we have to go back.

Sybert say we need 30 degrees within two minutes, if not the sandbar lost.

30 degrees within two minutes.

30 degrees within two minutes.

30 degrees within two minutes.

30 degrees within two minutes.

We continue to push back and let us across the ocean.

Hang on.

Hou je vast, Eldon.

Turn it off as soon as she touches it. - Here we go.

Put your brace, gentlemen.

Hang on.

Do not.

New ...

You di it. It worked, Mr. Sybert.

We need to keep away the water in the engine air intakes.

Without energy, we lose our pumps.

We get so much water in which the weight can push us to the sandbar.

It feels weird not to move, right Eldon?

So get to work.

We go to the cabin. All good?

Calm down, do me a favor.

I was on my way home and my car ended up in a ditch. I need help.

Well, we live nearby.

Go to my house. My brother was resolved nothing. Enters.

Thank you. - Do not have a coat?

Then move on. It goes to San Martin for survivors.

My coat is still in the Coast Guard station. - Do you have a guy there?

Hang on.

He is not now.

Is Bernie Webber. - Bernie is a good man.

We find no compass, Bernie.

We have no idea where they are.

Hang on.

It is?

It is? - I'm having fun right, Bernie.

It is fun.

Hang on.

It is very nice here.

Take it, use it. - It's okay.

We have lost the bombs.

Pumps overload circuit breakers. Checking the connection.

Give me the light.

No matter, Bouloo. - Sometimes I wish I did not understand.

Sybert, wat is er aan de hand?

We use all the bombs we have.

The switches are locked to prevent overloads.

Another meter means that the water touches the air intakes of the engine and the boat breaks.

Jesus Christ. - Did you hear that?

The rising tide that pushes us from the sandbar. - This gives us at least once.

Yes, indeed, Mr. Sybert? - That's right.

While generators to operate the pumps.

So we give auxiliary longer.

Sybert wanted to be the man. Now you are.

You just do not have a wife or children.

You are a man who always barricaded down. What you are lost?

Enough, Brown.

I'm afraid, Brown.

Also I have a life, just like you.

I do not see the point of not talking about it.

Train Station Chatham, 36500. Do you hear me?

Chatham Station, DIT is Head Bangs, CG-36383.

You pollock lightship, CG-36500, hear me?

Why not listen to us, Bernie? We hear however.

The water is too high, we can not move forward.

- Station Chatham, do you hear me?

I repeat, we will return.

Chatham train station, CG 36383, back to Old Harbor.

You pollock lightship, CG-36500, hear me?

We're alone.

You heard explosions, it sounds like you can not go ...

and again when the storm gets worse ...

We must return, Webber.

We have gone further than anyone imagined, Bernie.

Perhaps Richie is good and we must return.

The wind is eight to nine. Wind force eight to nine. Heavy snow.

Bangs heard on the radio.

We have no compass and we can not communicate.

You're ... - What am I, Richie?

I, however, have brought us here? Cluff Bangs or not, but I do.

We did, Richie.

Would you return?

No, not now. We've come too far.

We must not give them.

Not while I'm here.

Just do your job.

Turn off the light, Fitz. We work in the dark.

We can see the light of Pendleton faster in the dark.

Look outside.

Return.

Get your ass back.

I lost my hat.

You're good?

Yeah, I'm just tired. Come on.

You will play in the bedroom.

You can expect them, while I call my brother.

Thank you. Miriam call me.

Does your mother mind if I turn on the radio?

Kustwacht Boston, dit is Unimak.

We are at the bow of Mercer, in support of Yakutat.

Four members of the crew of the Mercer jumped from the deck. Everything is lost.

I repeat, I lost four men. Several crew members were hypothermia.
