When a country is well governed, poverty and a mean condition are something to be ashamed of. When a country is ill governed, riches and honors are something to be ashamed of . Confucius
When the wind is going in one direction and the currents another,stupid people should stay ashore.Probably a big sand bar or rocks in that inlet.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience
Passes and inlets are tricky. A lot of water trying to move thru a small space during tides. Put the wind against the tide and you got a rough go. Those runabout boats look like water scoops to me. That along with having more people that you should in the boat.
Always surprises me how ignorant boat owners as a rule can be. They seem to think they are bulletproof until that first swamping wave. No life jackets on, everybody relaxed and/or drunk, and expecting a fun ride- even on the obviously overloaded boats...
Most of those people would be crab bait if they tried that on the Columbia River mouth during a bad tide change...
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

That’s for sure. Haulover inlet is famous as well as Jupiter inlet on the east coast of Florida. Combine an outgoing tide with onshore wind and they’ll stack up waves bad, it can be real tricky to spot until you’re into it too. Even relatively benign inlets like Destin can smack you around if you’re not careful.
Anyone know where this inlet is located? I've seen several vids of this same place. It must have a reputation for being rough. Can't believe how many don't at least have this kids in life jackets. Here it is a requirement for all kids under 13 to have a life jacket on at all times when the boat is moving.
