Isn't the channel marked on the charts/GPS as well with actual red and green buoys? From what we can see on the mast, they seem to have modern navigational equipment on board.
Many inlets are considered unnavigable . They would not be marked or on charts. Sandbars are constantly shifting. This is where local knowledge is key.
Doesn’t this guy know about breakers? Aren’t there bouys marking the channel? Is it marked on his GPS? Did he come out that same channel? If he did, did he lay down a track?
This is absurd, why are there no channel markers or even hazard markers around this shoal ? In any case he will have substantial damage to his boat and perhaps running gear. So that is a haul out, plus repair job. Could be running in the tens of thousands. The prop shafts have zero protection. Then we are looking at V-brackets, props, shafts, seals, bottom itself. Expensive afternoon.
@@Noreaster-l6k we do it all the time. We cruise around in the Med and travel from one anchorage to the next one. Every anchorage is a new one to us so I have to trust the charts and markers (plus depth meter) to be able to plan a route to those places and we do it with care. This boat definitely had all the navigation gear onboard, that we can be sure off. So the question becomes: 'did the person steering the boat use the charts and navigation equipment' or is this not on the charts ? Regardless of those answers, I still think that shoals like this should be marked and since apparently 2 boats grounded within the last couple of weeks I don't think that is a bad idea. Markers are there to ensure safe passage, then I would say: use them.

I mean the breaking waves is kind of a hint-
You would think so, right?
Next….St Lucie Inlet, which should have been the first choice! Or second…Lake Worth.
tnx

What's absurd is that the captain would run his boat into an unfamiliar area and put his crew at risk

I don't think he was hard aground like BIG BLUE was on the shoaling last week. Check my video.
Love the flag. Trumps image will be emblazoned on Mt. Rushmore
