  • Haulover Inlet in Florida is a popular spot for experienced boaters seeking a thrill. Known for its challenging conditions and strong currents, the inlet connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Intracoastal Waterway and is famous for its rough waves and strong winds, which can make boating hazardous. Despite the risks, many boaters are drawn to the inlet's challenging conditions and the opportunity to navigate through it.

    SAD day for this captain. UNEXPECTED turn that could have led to injuries and loss of the boat.I'd appreciate if YOU could share advice on how to handle such situations, to assist our large audience in potential future incidents. Thank you in advance !!

      I’m no captain however I would think getting the anchor out earlier and tying it to the bow would have been better.

      Don't put yourself in that situation. He took a vessel that had no business being there and asked it to do something it would have had trouble doing when it was new fifty years ago. The easy fix to this is to MAINTAIN your equipment.

      ⁠I certainly am no expert and generally use smaller (16-18 ft) aluminum fishing boats on fresh water but have been boating accident for 50 years. I respect the water,I know it does not give a hoot about my safety so it is up to me. Maybe get the anchor out quicker, try to get the bow into the waves, and call the Tow Boat guys immediately. At least no-one was hurt, looks to be minimal damage to the boat but I wager one very bruised ego. Also do very extensive checks prior to casting off and get proper engine maintenance per the manufactures recommendations. If they lost power 10 miles out it could have been much worse. Set up a checklist and follow it prior to setting off.

  • @priscillaforthman6105
    @priscillaforthman6105 Місяць тому +42

    Anchor from the bow. Keep bow pointed into surf. Have suffucient anchor line...80 to 100', so his anchor has a chance to deploy in the sand. Do not have your line tied/spliced as it appears.
    That poor guy! He has no clue who to do.

    At least nobody was hurt, except the guy sitting on the deck who looked checked out. They're lucky to have gone up on a sand beach instead of into rocks that would have caused serious damage and potential loss of life. Credit to the Captain for continuing to stay present and observant, trying to think of solutions. IMO I would have set the anchor earlier, off the bow, and held it until it caught, which clearly is challenging in soft sand. As soon as the motor was dead, I would have pulled out lifejackets and insisted everyone have them on. Otherwise, I don't think there's much he could have done.

  • @mustangcircut
    @mustangcircut Місяць тому +1

    Agreed with anchor drop from the bow!! As for frustration he was, who wouldn’t? The fact that it looks like he kept his cool and stayed with the boat and tried like hell to get it turned into the waves I commend him. Looked like a soft beach and everyone walked away. Seeing others they have not a care in the world. Great video!

    It can happen to any captain, but it doesn't have too. Captain fail to recognize the danger. One must be aware that, in case of lose of propulsion, the wind, waves and current may drift the boat. In this case, the combination led them to shore. Captain should've droped anchor sooner. A secure anchor point on a boat isn't the stern. It's the bow. That is why, on my boat I have a cable which is called, according to weakipedia Hawser, here we call it Boça, which is use for this purpose. I use it for anchoring, but it is designed to tow me if needed. I consider this captain a lucky C because not every inlet has a perfect landing spot like the one here. No damage has been seriously done to the boat, only the captain's pride was hurt in this video, which is good. Well, there was a slight back flip while one of the passengers was trying to get out, other than that. I hope everyone is fine.

    You have to be ready to drop anchor and the first sign of trouble. This guy was not ready nor did he have an appropriate anchor line length that should have been attached at the bow. As far as cost, if he had towing insurance it would not cost anything. No insurance, probably $1000.

    Small boats like that are susceptible to more abuse. Coming down hard off of a big wave can jar and break numerous things. Only suggestion I have is to purchase a box anchor and maybe it would have stopped him from being beached.
