Was that mast stuck in the mud? The top of that sail sure looked dark.

Yes, stuck in the mud. We had that happen to 470s in Galveston Bay which is only 10 ft deep on average. If the crew doesn't get off the hull quickly, their weight drives the mast down. Then wind and waves jab the mast into the mud like a needle. Typically, you get a power boat to help and they pull too hard and bend your mast. It looks like using wind power was a nice gentle pull.
