The video shows the Eihatsu Maru, a Japanese trawler stranded on Clifton beach in Cape Town, South Africa . It starts out as a satire of sorts but about a minute and a half in its apparent that this actually happened, and it is no joke.
What I do know is that if I were to run my ship up on a beach, a good pizza as I await to be refloated would make my day just that much better. Just watch.
