Hi,

I spotted this series of pictures on Reddit that you might find very interesting.

As the title says, a boat crew stumbled upon a sandbar, which is pretty unusual in the middle of the south pacific. The events then took an unexpected turn...

I saw that on a FB post. Pretty cool and possibly dangerous as they decided to sail through it!
