Thread: Dont push the limits

Headed out the inlet this morning and saw a pile of flashing lights at the end. Tide was outgoing and a stiff wind stacking the inet with 3' -4' rollers. Manageable in my boat but gotta go easy. Got to the end where all the chaos was and there was a boat up on the jetties. Did not appear to be any injuries as guys were unloading stuff from boat carrying across jetties back to lighthouse park. Stayed clear of it on way out but coming back in the Coasties,FWC and VCSO marine patrol were gone and got a few pics. I see jon boats out there often and always amazes me as that inlet can get nasty. I guess it reared up and smacked someone this morning. These things happen in a blink of an eye. Be careful guys and dont push your boats beyond their design.



When going out the waves were crashing over the rocks that boat is on. Gives ya an idea the conditions he was in.

Sorry I didnt catch up with ya this morning out there Jeff. I think I saw you tucked in behind dissapearing island when I was headed to the inlet. Ended with a fat 24" trout and 16" sheephead for my son to tote home for dinner.
