if there was just the one Discovery, how would you have done it trying to be safe?
as an observation, would it be simple / safe the detach the trailer physically from car tow hitch and use the rope between car and trailer keeping the car off the seaweed??????
You can do it that way but mine is a heavy rib plus 300 L of fuel on the drawbar can tip up and winching back on is awkward , you can also use a long steel bar if you have one to give you some distance
The way we did it worked well

Offered advice but wasn't welcomed
It's a shame your good advice was rejected in such a petulant way. It might well be that the guy standing close to the rope moved away when the strain was taken but it's still good advice for those less experienced. No excuse for rudeness.
