ANYTIME you're swimming in the ocean, lakes or rivers, ALWAYS wear snorkeling, or scuba diving flippers on your feet. You'll be surprised how fast you can swim just by barely moving your feet AND you can EASILY swim against the current even WITHOUT really using your arms to help propel you. They work GREAT. You can torpedo through the current without usually getting tired. You can position in one location in the depths and not even use your arms to stabilize yourself to keep your head above the water to rest. 👍

I rescued 3 scuba divers off Pennekamp reef some years ago. We were finishing our late afternoon dive and there was one other boat moored at the site. As I motored to go around the reef, one of my folks thought they saw something in the water some distance away. I continued in a northeasterly direction and soon saw three heads bobbing in the water. By the time we got to them they were 1/2 a mile from their boat with an injured diver. They were VERY lucky they were seen.

Typical day of boating…. Captain works hard, purchases a boat, trailer, truck…sets up boat, plans outing, prepairs for outing, gets up early, last minute planning, does the entire boat launch disaster,… at last gets to shine in his happy place driving the boat 10 minutes to the sand bar, then, does the beaching disaster, worries all day about the tides, kids, being ran into, running into something, enough beer, is everyone happy, …. At last time to leave, entire process in reverse, at last… 10 minutes in his happy place. Back at the dock, the launch process in reverse except it’s 10 times more difficult. At last back at home after the weekend traffic battle (of course passengers are all napping), parks the boat, unloads, washes, flush, repairs, covers the boat, cleans and packs beach toys, ( of course passengers are showering and applying sun burn ointment. At last all done, takes a shower, drinks a beer.. family “boy that sure was fun and relaxing, let’s do it agin next weekend “.

Good lord this is the truth.. luckily my wife actually helps a good bit ( does all the food packing, towels, water, stuff we need) she also ties up the boat while I back down the ramp (I never have to get out of truck).

Yep, last time we took our boat out with a crowd (14 people, all relatives), I think I was the only one who didn't have a good time. They managed to clog up both toilets twice, I had to anchor the boat myself because I couldn't get anyone to understand the up/down switch on the anchor windless, and then had my sister in law crying that a nearby thunderstorm was going to catch us and sink us (we have a 42 Bertram). I told my wife, never again.

That is why we have a few rules already set in place. 1) $30+/person for gas, depending on what you can afford. 2) There is always a designated First Mate who is responsible for helping the Captain all day. They meet at the Captain's house in the morning and don't leave until everything is taken care of. The First Mate job shifts between adults each trip. 3) Buddy System is always employed with group check-ins on the hour. 4) Everyone under 14 is required to wear a floatation device at all times unless their parent or guardian says otherwise. 5) Nobody leaves until the boat and boating gear have been cleaned and dried inside and out. Exceptions are occasionally made as sometimes people have to leave early but repeatedly leaving early for casual reasons will get you blacklisted. Having these rules set in place before hand makes the trip a lot more communal, safer, and generally more fun.

[@1stcommonsense]

I lost a good friend about 7-8 yrs ago. They found his boat easily enough be he wasn't discovered till 5 days later. The investigation concluded he got complacent and went diving solo. No tanks, no snorkel which is how he liked to do it. He figured he wouldn't be under long but, when he surfaced the boat was too far away from him and the tide made it impossible to make the swim even with fins. He was less than 500' off shore and the tides completely overpowered him. Respect Mother Nature.

Yeah I thought that boaters were supposed to help people in distress if they possibly could. My 1st time out on a catamaran/ under sail.

Luckily we we near shore and another boater helped us flip the damn thing back over. God thank him. We continued to sail like we did before but never again with a catamaran.

Its a good idea to wear 100% of the time. I generally wear my life jacket just in case. .I've seen some dumb sht that people do and I'm stunned they thought it was a good idea trying to James bond and hydroplane across a sand bar.

If anyone doesn't know this, it might save your life one day. If you EVER are caught in a rip (strong currents) and are being pulled out to sea do not swim against the current, instead focus on keeping yourself afloat and let yourself be pulled out until you escape the currents, this way you have a much better chance at making the swim to shore or a boat instead of tiring yourself out trying to fight the currents.

[@margotconway8605]

Thank God I knew this when I got caught in a RIP current as it saved my life. Happened to me just off a jet and close to shore. I had flippers and mask but didn't matter. Once I knew the RIP current had me I just turned over on my back and let it float me out, you can fight it. Once it let me go I was really far out the shoreline but then swam back in. Had to climb over the rocks on the other side of the jet which was the roughest part of everything. Thanks previous post for mentioning rip currents. It was important and will save your life

[@Bdayyyyy]

We surfed with my dad growing up and he told us this constantly. I still panicked when a rip started pulling me out (I was already exhausted so I didn't think I'd make it). Luckily he was there to grab me with his board, and I never let myself get that exhausted before coming back to shore again!

[@bajamike9276]

A boat bumper on a very long rope or even the required throw cushion on a very long rope instead of swimming out to get them and/or both. Many times rescuers become the victims themselves.

A common mistake when a boat runs aground is people try to pull it straight. You actually want to pull from an angle doesn't have to be a sharp angle just a slight angle at the start. All that does is breaks the surface tension between the sand and the boat and gets everything moving so when you start going it just keeps going. Sometimes if you pull straight into where the boat was grounded it creates a suction effect. Probably why they were pulling so hard in the beginning with no gain and then slowly it started to move.

[@nieks.7326]

I see what you mean but the suction effect generally doesn't occur in 'free' water surroundings. It's a symptom of the prop pulling the water away from under the boat. About the surface tension: I'm not sure if that's the main factor. It's also a lot about tilting the boat so you don't have the V of the hull pushing into the ground. The slight angle has a big effect on thr drought of a V hull boat. The reason it was easy after the boat got moving is because they 1) overcame mass inertia and 2) the boat actually got some water under the keel and started floating again. :)

The reality is as an experience captain you need to watch out more and more for idiots than ever. Boats are not cars, if it breaks down you just can't pull over to the curb, there are no road signs or lines and in bad weather you better know what to do!

Many many of the issues leading up to such simple accidents can be attributed to (according to one KZbinr's interesting words) new "credit card captains."

[@rafaelvergara3787]

I go out of Hillsboro Inlet and Lake BOCA frequently but my other boaters tell me to avoid Hallover inlet 😎

[@sassygirl7817]

It’s nice to see people enjoying themselves at the beach. I don’t think that I saw one person on their cell phones

[@anthonylugo8756]

From what I understand is a jet ski is the way to go.

[@harrisonfowler4461]

Did that boat at :12 have two 300’s and one 400 in the center?????

[@sydneymarie67]

I love being on the water, i love boating, but i have no time or desire for crowds or nonsense.

[@bc5001]

Do boats like SUP boards not require a throw line?

[@jimshorts5970]

Nice that the girl in the kayak thought to bring glass bottles on the water😡

[@gigitrue63]

FIVE guys on one paddleboard? what was th eplan there?

[@dmonat]

I have a 14 footer with a 40hp Merc. I towed a jetski from one end of our lake to other (4 miles). IT TOOK HOURS!!

[@marktracy2577]

So many terrible boaters out there!!! I cant believe how long that jet ski struggled to get those guys in! Cheers to them. And screw everyone else that didn't help. That's not how its supposed to work on the water.

[@jlr3636]

All those terrible boaters jump behind the steering wheel of their cars and act the same way. You can’t fix stupid.

[@gratefuldale117]

The chasm between boating experience and new owners just winging it blindly is reprehensible. And the stupidity rate appears to climb daily. Such a shame. Paradise nearly lost.

[@njappraisers5477]

This is why I gave up boating after 35 years. Too many idiots on and in the water.

[@redsammy7789]

2 jet ski people should just go drop their buddies on the beach then go pick the stranded people 2 at a time on the skis and bring them to the beach, a hell of a lot faster than that dumb plan of towing.

[@noelnicholls1894]

Are there no cleats on a Sea Doo? And yea, one hangs with them, other drops off the passenger etc…Towing while holding onto the rope is somewhat optimistic.

[@fernandourrutia9718]

Buen video saludos

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

In Australia while boating if someone is struggling EVERYONE helps. You'd be ridiculed for not doing your best for someone in trouble. What trashy people like this think is beyond belief.

[@jaystax-x]

I'll never understand the concept of launching your boat only to drive to a sand bar or beach and land it. What's the point of the boat?

[@tonymante8759]

dude fighting racoons in the backround at 19:00 lmfao im dead

[@ClassEdits]

Good afternoon my fellow boaters hope you are all doing well

[@BoatZone]

Good afternoon Corey!

[@pappete9988]

It seems fairly clear that the majority of American boat owners are not fit to be in charge of a rubber duck in a bath. You must have staggering marine death rates

[@bannister556]

It is good for the economy that these people spend their dough on having what they consider to be a good time.

[@4noodle]

Very nice place 👌

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

Never seen a boat with mixed outboards before. Odd

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

2:30 time stamp

[@BoatZone]

I believe this boat had inboards originally, right?

[@GodBlessedAmerica]

@@BoatZone Highly possible but 2-300’s and a 400 in the middle seems weird. You’d think the rpms and gearing might be a little off from each of the 300’s. But then again, it might just be a cowl off a 400. 😂🤣

[@TheByard]

Had an great weekend got the boat out, went to the beach and parked it along with dozens more. It was just like a tail gate party at the game.

[@jonoedwards4195]

Makes sense, less They like to eat BBQ while looking at Females an Males that should not be in g-strings.

[@tadpoleone8341]

Definitely looks like a ton of boaters and swimmers with novice experience.

[@glennh.2573]

Where did they start out at it seems like the jet skiers could have summoned help for them from a nearby boat

[@andrewhorsburgh2549]

American boat owners don't have much to be proud of. Lucky jet skier's have a sense of right and wrong.

[@tylerdurden6335]

I’ve seen some bone head boaters in my lifetime but you folks out in Florida take the cake. Ya’ll need to take some Coast Guard boating courses.

[@billykulim5202]

those area should ban propeller boat, please use jet drive, those propeller can kill and injured people

[@arribaficationwineho32]

There are plenty of bonehead boaters in every region.

[@capnfrankly]

People never learn to swim WITH the current and cross it diagonally which helps them to shore and does not tire them as does swimming against the current !!!!!! 🤪
