harold Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 That is seriously scary. I feel for the guys in the boat but there is a big lesson to be learned for everyone from that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great_White Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The old lesson, never turn your back on the sea ... Either a very inexperienced Skipper , or just plain STUPIDITY Explain that to the insurance company, seeing all caught on camera ....

frankS Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The skipper could not have timed it any worse, side on at the peak of the wave. Hope they survived with not too much injury. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 What where they thinking?It never ceases to amaze me the stupidity of some people.My biggest worry is anyone can buy a boat and head out to sea these days with very little to nil experience under their belt. The same goes to buying a boat and rocking up to pick it up and simply hitching it up and driving off without any regard given to weight distribution,tow bar down weight,towing experience etc.Some people shouldn't drive a car let alone tow a boat from what I've seen.Hope the boaters where ok in the end.

onearmedfisho Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I was near molli point when this happened. I could see the chopper overhead and marine rescue flew past with sirens blaring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratchie Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Wow!!!! And that's a relatively calm day. There's certainly a fine line between trial and tragedy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolongeramember Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I see it and near misses similar to that all the time, especially kayakers who take the shortest path to their destination through a shallow area. People not familiar with the area and not realising the potential size of breaking waves that can develop in shallowing water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonD Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I believe Ive just seen a boat in trouble off Narooma 9.45pm, notified the police who got onto the water police and it turns out theres a boat missing tonight out of Narooma. They were signalling only 200m off the rocks at dalmeny headland, the wind and chop are about 1.5m crashing over the rocks close to where Ive just seen the lights. Hopefully all ends well.
