  "account": "A Finnish couple's electric sailboat overturned near the entrance to Dénia port on Friday, October 2, prompting a dramatic rescue effort. The vessel, which was being used for an ambitious journey around 5,000 kilometres without using conventional fuel, was lifted from the water using a crane after an extensive emergency response involving firefighters, Salvamento Marítimo, the Guardia Civil, divers, and a helicopter. Despite initial concerns that people might still be trapped inside the overturned boat, rescuers confirmed that there were no individuals inside. The boat's owner was also confirmed to be safe on land, meaning no injuries were reported. The recovery operation is ongoing, with the boat's batteries still needing to be removed once weather conditions permit. The incident has temporarily disrupted the couple's fuel-free journey, which aims to demonstrate the capabilities of an electrically powered sailing vessel.",
