      @someotherdude 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They did not keep their distance, they crowded 1st boat the entire time, most importantly before even entering the tight spot. They are adding another 50% stress to 1st boat. Very tricky to for other boats to then drop back when situation pops up....
      I'm not addressing 1st boats difficulties at all, bad luck or bad piloting.
      Contender pilot: Upon picking up the channel 1000' before, either pass or set throttle to open up distance, (500' minimum) anything but staying right behind. I realize you weren't as close until 1st boat had difficulties.

      @@someotherdude you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Boynton Inlet is a challenge. So much so that some people set up cameras to make youtube videos! The entrance is a 600' dog leg so you wouldn't see the Freeman from the mouth of the inlet and once you cross that threshold you're Committed. The current is RIPPING so there is not a lot of opportunity to change directions and head out. Due to the current it is actually harder to navigate as slow speeds so all 3 of these captains did a great job considering.

It seems most people don't like being told what to do even if it means doing something smart and easy that will save your life. The Coast Guard was a hyper safety focused service so a lot of that rubbed off on me. As the old saying goes: "A person's rights end where another persons rights begin." i.e. a person has the first ammendment right to the freedom of speech but that doesn't mean he can yell "FIRE!!!" in a crowded movie theater.

      Not sure how long ago you served or if currently active, however many now wear the self inflating vests..cooler and easier to maneuver. Some definitely aren't wearing but some you might not be able to tell.
      Last time I was out on a larger sailboat everyone had to wear them since they also had connections to hoist (MOB stuff) I believe those were made by mustang but it's been a few years.
      I also insist that underway everyone wears a pfd (including strobe whistle and plb when offshore)

      @@duanesamuelson2256 I was in '73 to '79 and for sure things have changed. You make good points. The Coasy Guard was totally all about safety so it rubbed off on me and turned me into a saftey freak. My two most active small boat stations were Grand Isle Louisiana and Astoria Oregon right on the Colombia River bar. Both very active search and rescue units.
      There was this guy with his wife and two young kids heading out to the oil rigs to fish in a 16ft, 16 inch free board, ski boat when around 3 miles out they ran out of fuel. They had no radio so a passing crew boat called the emergency in to us. The guy was a block-head who seemed not to listen to anybody. They had one PFD and it had a torn bottom strap. He wanted us to tow him out to the rig so they could fish then come and get them to tow them back in. Crazy stuff. Of course we refused, gave him enough fuel to get back in, and then followed to make sure they made it.
      This is typical to the old missing fishermen call then a day later the boat is found capsized and adrift with all hands missing. Sometimes bodies would be found and we would have to go out and recover them. After a week we called them "strainers" because they were so badly decomposed we had to use the litter to sieve them up.
      It was an amazing job.

    When I was maybe 17, my friend and I took a 16 ft flat bottom with a 60 out through Boynton Inlet but the engine died while out in the ocean (we did not go far). We used a trolling motor to get to the south side sea wall, he hopped out and pulled the boat with a rope through the inlet while walking along the sea wall and I manned the trolling motor to help. It was like 1AM, calm and low tide once we got to the west side wall and cut a left we were good and used the trolling motor to make it back to the ramp. I will never forget that.

      I’m not sure if lovers key was the other island there. I know it was Calidesi. I was told the other island was lovers key. Not real sure on that one. Sorry for the confusion. The marina if I remember right was a 76 fuels. It’s been close to 15-20 years since I was there. There was another cool area close by but I don’t know the name of it. We went trough a small canal where boats were lined up taking turns. Once through it was a wide open space, shallow water white sand bottom and a guy selling food from a old pontoon boat. I wish I could remember what it was called. Getting ready to bought a new boat so we will be going back to the area.

      I did lose a pair of engines due to diesel bug but was in a flotilla of 50 boats crossing from Dunkirk France to Ramsgate UK. An Auxiliary Navy boat gave me a tow in for the cost of a bottle of Brandy.

    The lower unit is removed from the port outboard engine. Modern outboard engines have the forward-reverse gear inside of the lower unit, and the propeller is attached to the lower unit. The boat probably handles just fine until in a low speed high current scenario, but the outriggers being too high for the bridge and whatever they're tending to in the center console PLUS the missing lower unit makes the situation dicy. I'm glad the captain figured it out.

  • @Lakanuki
    @Lakanuki 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The guy in the Freeman should have just backed off the throttles enough to hold the boat straight in the current while the crew cranked the outriggers down. Problem avoided. Bet they don't forget to do that again.

      Ya an being a cat it's got a stronger tendency to track straight. The low speed coupled with stepping away from the helm got him sideways. I've never powered a cat, but sailed one and they don't like to turn as fast. Can't imagine leaving the helm in an inlet like this in a boat like that.

    The Freeman got crossed up in the out going current, missing the lower unit on the port out board side gave him a disadvantage. Leaving the helm so close to the bridge is really dumb and the best move would've been to go back out and bring the riggers down and run through the bridge under speed. Th Fountain was having major steering issues. It looked like he was extremely low on Hynautic fluid. Good to see everybody learning under difficult circumstances. It happens to the best of us. Boating can be a humbling experience.
