Magnus Reslow este un marinar suedez cu o singură mână care a fost atacat de pirați pe coasta colombiană. Pe 29 decembrie, barca sa a fost invadată de trei ori de pirați, aproape de orașul Barranquilla. Reslow a fost bătut de mai multe ori și atacat cu un cuțit. Atacatorii au furat aproape totul din barca lui cu buget redus. În acest interviu, Reslow vorbește despre atac și despre cum a putut să scape după ce pirații i-au remorcat barca, încercând să-l tragă pe coastă.

Great job defending yourself- glad you’re ok. Safe travels and following seas. Blessings from Sydney Australia
Music hoo loud. Can’t hear some of dialogue
Please ignore my comment. Wrong video
Just like a home invasion…
Glad that you are OK. Can't you buy a rifle in case of sharks attacking your boat? Would that be legal? Protect yourself, don't let anyone spoil your life or lifestyle, you are tough.
Many cruisers advise staying 200 miles off that coast for this very reason. He got robbed once, and stayed on. Bad plan. Go where you sre treated well, my friend.
Come to Australia Magnus . Only female Pirates hear . With big Hearts
Lycka till!
He needs to work part-time at a local marina or something if sewing isn't enough.
Unfortunately 230 is not enough a month. I understand he wants freedom but he needs money and possibly doing security at a marina will really help this nice man
Colombia used to be ultra safe in the 2010's . NOT ANYMORE. get out man. get out.
That man is a bad ass.
Such a nice humble gentleman did not deserve what happened to him.
Every intelligent thinking sailor boater knows Columbia shoreline is pirate territory. Stupid move. Massive amounts of data online to support this.. Most 'Pirates' are in survival mode. Desperate for goods. If there were real pirates this encounter would have been fatal. Boat goods represent enormous wealth. Very ignorant move. Our insurance would never cover sailing the South American Coast. What were you thinking?..
He seems like a lovely man and he’s lucky to be alive but those pirates stole his joy and serenity. That’s really sad and I wish him well.
Stå på Magnus !!
guess no one knows how to spell Colombia….and this guy in a beat up boat with damages when he left..he is not that smart
This is so sad. I watch a lot of sailing couples, this makes me nervous for them! It can happen to anyone. I’m so happy for others helping him out and the kind and generosity of the sailing community ❤️❤️
Is this recent? I was planning on being in this area come summer and visiting Colombia.
What a shock it must be, making him think about his lifestyle choices, but he is recovering and determined to learn from it and continue good for him, it would shake anybody up
Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6
Columbia, Venezuela, Brazil, Somalia, Ivory coast, Nigeria…. Just dooon't
Get well soon, specially on the mental side of things
bring poles and kitchen knives..
however the shaft end of the kitchen knife is compatible with the end of the pole.. attach the two together like two jigsaw pieces and voila you have a spear.
And i dont think a shield would be considered as a weapon by authorities of any country
Always need protection on board.
Sailing Dilly-Dally thanks for posting this video and your kindness helping Magnus⛵️🙏🏻
I love the ocean, but this is exactly why I don't leave American water's! I could never put myself in a situation where only the government and bad guys are allowed to carry!
Stay strapped
So glad you're OK my friend ❤️ stay strong and don't give up on your dream 🙏
Reason not to leave my home waters. Not going to be floating ticket to free stuff.
And they wonder why they are poor😂
Be nice

Magnus, what a horrendous condition. We are thankful your friend called the Swedish Coast Guard and the local Military arrived to assist. Such a hurtful thing like this should never happen, we are thankful for your interview to allow us what conditions maybe confronted while sailing Solo. Take extra precautions before you depart and try to secure a gun and ammunition for the local military. God Bless!
I'm a friend of Magnus, six days before this we were boarded by 4 armed men (at anchor in taganga Santa Marta). I was pistol whipped and ALL items of value were stolen from our boat. Colombia is LAWLESS. I strongly encourage sailors DO NOT GO TO COLOMBIA
torch gun and flares allways good to have at hand. molotovs can get messy i think. but i totally understand it. a pressurised "sprinkler" thing for garden stuff with gasoline in and an reliable ignition is scary shit too…. anyway im sure you thought a whole bunch of ways. respect to the sailing community. very often people that that both can and want to help. i hope you dnt get too traumatised, but keep sailing, it will take some time maybe, but you will get back in a relaxed mode again. Best of wishes.
when ur out at sea u should be allowed to carry weapons
Please stop saying ok to this poor guy who explain his severe injuries.. actually is not ok!
Thank you for sharing your story, this will help others make decisions about where they will sail. Bless you, namaste.🙏
