These waters are warm at least, but many factors can overwhelm even a strong swimmer, like being swept out to sea. The captains here seem to be inviting people out who don't look like they could swim very far. When you don't take any precautions, you put others at risk having to save you or your passengers.

Truly concerning how many children don’t wear life vests , especially in the smaller boats. They’re heading into extreme chop and the captain is oblivious. As a parent myself to two kids, I’m blown away to just how reckless that is. I also see a lot of people crammed into the bow when the weight needs to be better distributed. Boats taking on water and multiple people hanging out…once again, the captain not stepping up and properly addressing the situation.

Those whalers are absolutely incredible little boats!

The dental floss @13:01 was very nice.

Super fun to watch!! Great job.

That engine failure crew at 16:42 didn't just lose fishing rods and have the engine shut down, they also dropped the anchor while underway. This is why they had to raid a storage area to grab the spare anchor rather than use the one at the front like normal. The anchor rope may have also tangled on the prop to add to the drama. You see at 17:53 the anchor rope is pulled all the way out of the boat.

"That looks quite tight..." Well, I've been tighter. I chartered a sailboat near Destin, FL. In discussions with the owner, he assured us that it had been under the Destin bridge. At 30 minutes before low tide, we went out. The VHF antenna scraped every bridge bent. So, we didn't stay out long. About an hour later, we returned to the same scraping sound on the bridge bents. We were both smart and lucky that day. I prefer smart over lucky.

I'm certainly no ocean captain, but in regard to the HCB Suenos, and any other boat heading out in rough seas, it would seem reasonable to have everybody seated astern unless they are sitting in one of the helm chairs. I'd also like to get some insight on what the captain could have done, if anything, to improve the situation as far as speed/trim/entry angle etc.

@chipgascoigne1761

In a boat that size, he should have added some power, and stayed up on the tops of the waves. If you notice, you see the guys in the 40’+ Cigarettes, and other large go fast boats hauling ass over the rough stuff, and they are definitely having a much smoother ride than this boat. There is no reason for him to be slowly climbing over each wave and then going down the backside. Running the inlet the way he’s doing it vastly increases the odds of him stuffing the bow, like he did when he almost washed all of his passengers from the front of the boat to the rear. However, I agree 100% that in conditions like this, the passengers should have been in the rear facing seats behind the helm. The closer you are to the fulcrum point (at the stern), the smoother the ride. But hey, what do I know, he’s doing something right, he’s got a $2M boat, and I don’t!

@ianthomas7161

11 ай бұрын

Speed…he was going way too slow. When you’re going against/into the swell like he was you want some speed to keep your bow up long enough to hit the next wave before your bow drops. When you’re going with the swell you want to use your trim tabs to keep your bow up so you don’t nose dive when you over take the wave.

It must have do with the American culture. Those fiberglass hulls will turn to mush if you slam them down hard enough on a wave. Also, many of the people who haul gas out of the inlet are just gambling they don't hit a bad wave. Relying on your luck is not very conducive to a long life. If you have a really big boat, then those waves don't really matter but it has to be really big. Overall, this is my favorite channel. I sailed hobie cats in the surf for a couple of years so I have some understanding of the ocean. This channel is a lot of fun to watch.

Rope has almost no weight under water, so when the boat pulls on it, it will stretch it tight and as a result pull upwards on the end of the anchor. Chain is much heavier so it will create a bow, with the anchor end of it sitting on the bottom and just being dragged along it, creating ideal conditions for the anchor to bite into the bottom and holding the boat.
