The chief engineer emerged from the stairway, followed by another crew. They carried the engines they had taken from the jetski and the lifeboat.

A group of four crew members collaborated to secure ropes around the vehicle. With their combined efforts, they gradually lowered it onto the soft, grainy sand. Finally, the wheels gently touched the ground, bringing the vehicle to rest beside the boat.
