@@patriciapasciuto9022 absolutely, and not just any life jacket. I bought an ocean rated life jacket from West Marine online for $80 for my little Maltese as we can get into some crazy washing machine waves/ tides here in Kauai. It was one of the first things I purchased after we bought our zodiac medline 850 a couple of years ago. It’s excellent quality. We’ve used it well over 20 times and it’s still like new. It comes in real handy when we take the SUP to shore. Many beaches get some big waves as you enter and it’s easy to grab the handle on top and bring him right back. He’s a great little swimmer but he is too little to tackle an onslaught of wave after wave. People who don’t protect their dogs while on the ocean are irresponsible pet owners.

1:04 The boat on the Columbia River bar was stolen from the port of Astoria and the "captain" was fleeing capture when he attempted to cross the bar to evade the coast guard. The bar was doing what the CR bar does and he got in way too far over his head. He was apprehended (rescued) and prosecuted. But great video none the less. If anyone is curious what the most dangerous river bar in the US, if not the world, looks like. There it is.

And loading people into the bow of the vessel keeps the bow plunging into the wave(making it into a wannabee submarine- not riding with it.

Rule of boating in rough seas....if the waves are taller then the bow of your boat come about.....never let a trailing wake over take you, if you own an inboard don't take water over the bow it may flood out your engine below deck, always make sure lines are secure and children have life jackets on and finally boating should be fun, not getting banged around

[@kevinsellsit5584]

At 21:45 having 60 cylinders and 60 pistons pumping of Mercury outboard power is a practical and affordable option for any boaters needs, but is it better than 5 450R Mercury outboards? Yes. The V12 600 hp Mercury is truly a masterpiece of engineering, and in the application seen at 21:45 a good choice. Practical and affordable might have been stretching the truth for "any boaters needs" though. Each 600 V12 weighs over 1200lbs. 60 cylinders at 100lbs per cylinder is 6000lbs. More actually, when installed. The 450R is just under 700lbs each so 5 X 700 = 3500lbs ... a weight savings of around 47% if you use the actual installed numbers for both types. I still think it's worth it for this application. The cool factor is insane, if that is a thing. That being said, it would be an interesting comparison to get the actual numbers for identical boats of this type, 5 X 450R vs 5 X V12 600. P.S. Call me anytime if you need 190lbs of additional ballast in the boat, I'm available.

[@jeffwatson4908]

Kudos to the Cigarette captain. He and his passengers wore self inflating PFDs. It is obvious that despite the unsafe conditions, PFDs were largely extinct on the other boats shown. Did the Hydrasports captain even have enough of them for the number of passengers! Did he show them where to find them if they wanted one? Is it just uncool or just bad seamanship?

[@OgamiItto70]

Something that I've noticed about these Haulover Inlet videos is that the north side of the inlet tends to be less rough. Maybe the water is deeper on that side or the current is slower, but the waves tend to be longer and less steep there. That's a _tendency,_ though, and not a lead pipe cinch. One of the problems I see, too, is the length of the waves changing on their way in the inlet, shortening as they come into the current flowing out and onto the shallower bottom. This change can catch skippers out as they proceed into the inlet. They seem to be alright until the wave that they've just crested catches up to the next one in front, causing the bow of the boat to stuff into the wave ahead. If, when you come back from your run, Baker's Haulover Inlet isn't looking doable, your best bet is probably to go down south six or eight miles and get back into Biscayne Bay at the inlet between South Beach and Fisher Island.

So the guy the rescue swimmer saved was not the owner. He was in the country illegally and stole the boat! Luckily the coast guard was already on site training and no one was injured during the rescue.

Yah, but where is the fun waiting and counting. And working the throttle to keep the bow up is a lot work. It is so much more fun to show off and hope u get lucky and not sink ur boat or kill anyone. That's livin', man. Since most of these dingleberries don't have a clue how to handle a boat, it should madatory to take safety course annually. It's one thing if someone wants to be a jackass alone.

No way would I launch it here with the water like that. Some people are crazy.

This makes 10000% more sense to me than what we watch here. We fished a lot growing on the TN River and swam in springs, FL beach vacations, etc. Typical TN stuff. My Pa and Dad BEAT into our heads that “You’re not stronger than the ocean” and “It doesn’t take deep water to kill you”.. Now with my family, I’m the same way. You can have an absolute ball and be safe. You don’t need to hurt yourself or others or even put yourself in danger.

I was crew on a 50-knot passenger vessel, " Virgin Butterfly," for many years. The first thing you need to know is that as you come over the top of a big wave, you throttle back for a second to bring the bow down. It also helps to have a small ballet tank, Min the Forpeek, which you fill to keep the bow down. When you are up on the plain, you open the dump valve and get rid of it so that you can stay up on the plain. Some people never learn.

The Formula captain turned around with skill, correct throttling. Then instead of keeping on a high angle plane by throttling, he allowed the boat to simply speed up and level out. Obviously either not reading the waves ahead or not understanding that you need to throttle down at times, then back up based on waves. It's an acquired skill though and even the best captains made mistakes while gaining experience. That's why they call it experience.
