SLOW DOWN IDIOTS ON THE CANAL! Point Pleasant Canal

[@johnrudy9404]

Lifelong resident of New Jersey. 62 years actually. This is Point Pleasant, NJ. Another dangerous inlet for those unwary, treating boats as a toy. No joke here, or any inlet.

[@annawofford559]

Why is everyone in front ? So they can nose dive into a wave?

[@ronaldwilkinson4330]

They need to pool law enforcement resources & start heavily ticketing violators. I understand that the current runs very hard given tides. However you can make headway, slow as that may be, and still maintain minimum wake. The world is full of impatient people however recreational boating can be fun, exciting, memorable. That said it can turn dangerous and deadly at the snap of a finger. Respect the conditions, adjust to the conditions and in the canal respect the NO WAKE ZONE. Signed: USCG Veteran

[@CoastalBoating]

Thank you for your service! I 100% agree that there's a difference between making safe headway and just downright not caring about safety, i.e., the guy in this video. The canal is certainly a tricky place for law enforcement to patrol. There really isn't a place for them to sit safely. Down at the southern end of the canal is the NJ State police marine HQ; they do have someone stationed down there watching for speeding boats. I've also heard that the state police watch this channel, so they know what's happening.

"I can't go that slow." Well, he's is trouble if he has to stop.

[@benh4222]

he'd just put it in neutral

[@babaki1]

uh..the boat that is going "too slow" looks like a state trooper.

[@jakeringer3153]

Pass that boat and your day will be ruined!

[@CoastalBoating]

Yes, it was. Not sure why he was going so slow. The lens I had on this day wasn't wide enough for me to get everything in the frame but that bigger boat got pretty close to the back of the Boston whaler just trying to stay in control.

[@edwardcote1331]

@@jakeringer3153 are you not allowed to overtake there?

[@lexi1797]

Their was three boats The first was the state police which was in front and going dangerously slow. Then their was the guy in the middle who was behind the police and would not pass them because they were scared that the police would give them a ticket Finally their was the big boat. Who could not go that slow he could go like 4 knots slowest. He could not pass because their were other boats coming on the other side and their was not enough room

[@lexi1797]

Also the ocean yachts marina was really close and need space to turn when he got their so he could not pass them

[@rickrudnick4108]

I'm an avid boater and liveaboard. Brokered for some years. 80% of these people behind the helm should not be there. I have seen so many incidents its crazy. Also first time boaters looking to buy 50+ foot boats without any idea on how to set an anchor

[@jesse75]

Just about anyone can steer a boat. Isn't that hard.

@@jesse75 Duh. You could steer it but, i doubt you can operate any vessel safely. There is a lot more to it. Lets start with you setting an anchor or tying up in a slip

@@rickrudnick4108 I commercial fished salmon and king crab. All the crew had to be able to run the boat. From 45 to 90 feet.

[@jumping438]

Props to those captains who put children in PFDs.

[@BKSTW2013]

No wake zones are typically 6 knot speed zones. The marine police should install speed cameras. There's lots of revenue floating around.

[@ShoreBoats]

They must’ve missed the slow speed sign before entering the canal 💨

[@CoastalBoating]

Pretty sure the only thing on caps mind was getting to the F cove 😂 wonder if he slowed down in front of the state police

[@lexi1797]

No he didn’t but the other boat was going dangerously slow the ocean yacht can’t go that slow

[@tyronerautahi9705]

Wavy boats add on the side wall

[@CoastalBoating]

Yeah all of the channels have banners! People love to yell channel names so this way they know what channel to find themslves on!

Weekend boaters .. the worst

[@JelMain]

None of them wearing buoyancy. You may be a fine swimmer - until the idiot driving the other hull injures you.

[@glennmanchester5696]

well in my opinion anyone over a certain age whatever it may be in that jurisdiction its not required by law is go with but some idiots let young kids ride w no pfd in the bow as well of all places .

[@RayC6607]

Not always but the weekend does bring out the googans

[@RayC6607]

The one boat going slow I understand... there are young kids onboard.

Isn’t this a No Wake Zone?

[@stephenclarke8864]

Looks good fun to me

[@glennmanchester5696]

Where is this now ? Its awfully rough and im confused is it an inlet like haulover in miami ? There's a reason its so rough as a matter of fact every inlet on the east coast of fla is somewhat rough some more than others .. The atlantic ocean shows no mercy for anyone especially stupid newby boaters who think oh how hard could it be i can drive a car .. Well im guessing most of them dont do that very well either !

[@jeepernj99]

This is in Point Pleasant New Jersey

[@glennmanchester5696]

thanks that explains the color of the water I grew up in new england man that water never warms up even in the summer . I been in florida since 1989 and well new england is a nice place to visit but I couldnt live there again . lol or anywhere even close to it once you get used to sandy beaches blue water and margaritas you just cant go back ..

[@brandspro]

This is the Point Pleasant Canal in NJ. It’s at the head of the Barnegat Bay and connects the bay/Metedeconk Riverto the Manasquan River, which then leads you to the Manasquan Inlet and out into the Ocean.

[@MikeyDee25]

Love those Jersey girls! 😎

[@douglashurd8652]

They prefer fun and adventure.

[@Binderbird4X4Firebird]

Soooo how would towing the JS flood the engine,,, the jet drive and engine are two separate entities as is the cooling system 👨🏼‍🔧😱👨🏼‍🔧

[@CoastalBoating]

Seadoo’s circulate water through the exhaust during normal operation. When the engine is off water can be forced back up into the engine thus flooding it. Cooling system on seadoos thankfully are closed loop so no worries there.

[@freespeech469]

Love the canal. New sub! 👍

[@glennbeadshaw727]

Poor people using their credit cards to buy boats

[@jackolson8775]

Many dollars, little sense .

[@johnandrews3434]

A,ways boogies my mind from the boat videos, all the alcohol that is involved. I guess drinking alcohol and boating is legal in the USA

[@CoastalBoating]

People here in the US certainly enjoy their alcohol. Passengers are welcome to consume alcohol but the captain certainly is not. If caught he would be charged with a DUI.

[@empathicjay3286]

Can you con a mini jet boat in the jersey canal?

[@CoastalBoating]

As long as it’s a boat you certainly could. We have a video of a guy doing it in a dingy
