My heart goes out to the family, it has got to be difficult enough without seeing the entire thing unfold on the news. Hopefully they are finding a way to cope.

I have also traveled Jupiter, Boyton, and Boca over the years. All of them, and most inlets can give you a problem if things line up just so. Some require conditions to be proper and the Captain to be on his toes. Just a small mistake can cause a major issue.

I am sure this captain has been in and out of that inlet a bunch with no issue. He knew what he was doing. Of course it only took a split second to get in trouble. This could happen to anyone on any given day.

Let's try to take something from this, and watch ourselves. Most have a much smaller boat and less time on the water. This should show you how easy it is to get in trouble. A life jacket is not a bad idea and perhaps the next time I am in a questionable situation I will throw one on.
