Re: Jupiter inlet incident
I have run that inlet a few times in years living down there, but when I saw those photos I was amazed that boat recovered! Horrible to see the captain being thrown off the bridge like that. How long did it take for someone to get to the helm?

Re: Jupiter inlet incident
We never saw anybody on the flybridge, I assume he was piloting from the bridge and the centrifugal force caused by the boat hooking must have overwhwlmed his grip on the wheel and throttles. The boat righted itself and continued back out to sea and I can only assume someone grabbed the controls from the salon. Only an assumption on this point though.

Re: Jupiter inlet incident
We heard about this all the way up in Central FL.
Prayers out to his family. I lost power coming in Sebastian Inlet (close second to Jupiter on the sphincter scale) and almost lost my 23'. That is what convinced me to fill in the transom and go to a bracket. Cut out transoms can be dangerous if something goes wrong.
