Why isnt there a protective break wall outside that entrance??
-

Bullshirt title ... does NOT show a boat capsizing, but rather the rescue afterward. FAIL

When in doubt stay out !CG were great, but the most surprising is the survivor who says "never saw that before ..." Gosh, where did he sail before ?? Judging by the height of the waves there was no way a small boat could make the entrance with 100% safety.Young in shape able seamen could have taken the risk (with life jackets !) but elderly men without life jackets a not so goo reflexex and physical ability ... this was suicide !It happened to me once on my 33ft sail boat (9.50m) , swell was OK (ie. truly manageable, not as pronounced aśon the video and certainly not breaking) crew was well trained and fit, boat was in top shape or so we thought. We. Were already were 20 meters into the entrance of the channel pas the warf when the engine stalled ... The wave took us by the rear and the boat broached and threw the boat on the pier. We missed (or rather the boat) it by a hair and thanks to the momentum (or so I remember) we could recover some manoeuveŕ so that I could align the boat back to the middle of the entrance and hoist the sail back (most crews laugh or/and scorn at me because I always insist NOT to furl the mainsail fully as long as we are not fully in harbour...) and unroll the jib. We made it, but barely and thanks to the fact we were downwind... otherwise it may well be that tourists would have watch three men being washed to the wooden piles of the warf and gored by the zillion shells "rooted" on these piles !If in doubt stay out !

Them sailors be heroes. they be not th' gentlemen breed. Never think 'bout them till needed fer sure. th' wind 'n rum have no lust fer a son 'o a mother. Hold fast! Hold fast! ye dogs 'o th' sea. th' seven seven seas never care fer ye, hold fast to ye ship or drown forever more. bin no need fer sand or rock, harrrd a lee!

Bravo to the U.S. Coast Guard. They're saving lives every day.

Hilarious that 99% of this video footage is reenactment. Only the one crappy camera shot of the actual rescue. Cleverrrrrrr editing!

In Australia it's law that you wear a life jacket when crossing some of our notorious bars. Is it law in the US or not?
-
you have no place on a boat if you can not swim
-
that is litteraly the safest harbor ever it so easy unless ur retarded
-
wear life jackets dummies
-
on a boat and can't swim, crazy!
-
thought it was going to show it capsize. disappointed

Apparently the zink plates fell off because normally this is true. The back up lead plates had been removed because of enviromental concerns. So there you go-the price we pay for enviromental safety.

Why did his boat roll over? I thought that boats had heavy zink plates at the bottom that made it so that the bottom was always down overall.

that was an awesome rescue !

This is a very nasty inlet. Makes Tamales Bay entrance look like a cakewalk.
