Trust me when I say, you do not want to go to a nude beach. You are not going to see many people in their prime. You are going to see people fulfilling a bucket list. Diabetic Amputees, women in the 80s with breasts that look like sandbags. Old men that look like leathery sharpei dogs with leather wrinkly punching bags hanging to their knees, morbidly obese women (well you see that in the United States in all beaches but at least they are clothed), men with beach balls for abs with grey hairy chests with knotted fur, varicose veins as far as the eye can see, some colostomy bags, old lady's so old you think they are mummies. But this is not the worse of it. These geriatric exhibitionist are horribly rude, mean, and self entitled. The television shows friendly people in their prime that extend warm welcomes to their nude beach. That is not the case in Florida. They are naked retirement villages and hospice centers next to stagnant water. The smell is quite memorable if there is a ruptured colostomy bag somewhere on the beach. You do not want to step on the dark trails in the sand. They are nicknamed, "Hershey trails." It sound delicious but it is not like what it sounds. There is no chocolate in that trail.

[@liveoakroofing8445]

You adjust your speed according to wave frequency and direction according to the size of your vessel. And trim your motor as well. This will take countless cost and adjustments for most. Also you need to be aware of cross waves and account for 3-4 waves ahead.

[@dirkdee9751]

Live Oak Roofing That theory indeed sounds great. I personally would need some practice to do so correctly, especially at a spot like Haulover Inlet. I also don’t think that many “experts” of the comment section would do much better....

[@jimjimmyjam8242]

I've never been on the ocean, however in lakes with very rough waves I've found trimming up to get the bow up makes for the smoothest and safest ride. The closer together the waves are the faster I am able to go. We have a bow rider and waves 1/4th this size I would not let anybody in the bow. Please wear a life jacket in rough seas, children and adults. I'm no expert, just a dad with a 20' boat that loves the water.

When you have free time go down to Boynton inlet and just watch. Check a tide table and go on incoming and another time outgoing. With some time in the sun which is never a bad way to spend a few hours you will see the right and wrong way to some things. Boynton inlet was not built for , intended , or maintained for navigation. It can be a mean lady and many a boat has ended up near the outfall pipe on the south side. Also any boat ramp on a weekend around 4-6 o’clock is amazing free entertainment.
