The chilling video of a boat about to sink in Tenerife due to the strong waves

A pleasure boat of about seven meters in length was about to wreck last Friday, January 7, in front of the mouth of the port of Los Gigantes, in Tenerife, when it was surprised by the strong waves already very close to the shore.

In a video posted on Twitter by the platform Canary Islands 1,500 kilometers of coastline It can be seen that the boat manages at first to avoid a first wave, which moves it several meters towards the beach and takes it away from the mouth of the marina. After avoiding that first impact, the boat turns on itself to face the next wave with the bow, but the wave that appears next is much greater than the previous one, so the boat accelerates to try to overcome it before it breaks on it . Luckily, he succeeds and reaches the top of the wall of water before it falls on it, but behind the top there is a gap of several meters to the sea. In the video it can be seen, before the horrified eyes of those who observe from the beach, that the boat is suspended in the air and then plummets onto the surface, already behind the huge wave.

The pilot of the boat then accelerates to try to be safe from the next waves approaching the mouth of the port, which he achieves by the hair by rushing into the safe waters of the dock.

The Canary Islands have been in the last days in yellow warning due to strong waves, a warning that has already ended, although it persists another due to strong winds and haze on the island of Tenerife and the rest of the western islands.
