Andreas Brandvoll, leader of the organization Plastpiratene, recounts a perilous sailing adventure involving a 62-foot boat named "Johanne Marie". This trip, which began from Oslo with a crew of four including well-known figure Samuel Massie, quickly encountered complications due to the significant ice buildup in the Oslofjord. As they navigated, they suffered a severe blow to the hull that caused the vessel to begin taking on water.

Following the initial crisis, the crew managed to get the boat to Horten for repairs, demonstrating quick thinking and teamwork by successfully operating the boat’s pumps to manage the flooding. In Horten, they applied an ice skin, a protective metal plate designed for wooden boats to aid in traversing icy waters, in an attempt to stabilize the vessel and prepare for the next leg of their journey. Brandvoll emphasizes that the troubles they faced were just the beginning of a greater unfolding drama at sea.

The story highlights not only the dangerous conditions in the Oslofjord but also the camaraderie and resilience required in maritime adventures. With winter presenting new challenges for navigation, the incident serves as a reminder of the potential dangers adventurers may encounter on the waters, especially in regions impacted by ice, requiring communities to innovate and respond to the changing conditions in marine environments.
