Speedboat is out of control – level 2
12-04-2023 15:00
A sailor was trying to tie up his boat when he accidentally knocked the throttle. The boat started moving and threw the man overboard.
The six-meter-long speedboat began to move in a circle. Luckily, somebody spotted the boat and let others know. The lifeboat crew got a line aboard the boat and managed to reduce the speed.
The owner of the boat got safely to shore, but he had to go to the hospital.
Difficult words: throttle (a mechanism which controls the speed), spot (see), lifeboat crew (people who help sailors).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
How did the lifeboat crew manage to reduce the speed of the speedboat?
