For those of you that watch Haulover Inlet traffic on YouTube:
I was always amazed at the speed that some boaters transited the cut….sometimes with no other traffic (fine), other times with the unpredictable behaviour of seadoers, or smaller runabouts trying to overcome the waves.
In this case, imo….both operators are to blame …. the Searay captain carrying too much speed and having his visibility restricted by a sup on the rails and a foredeck cushion propped up.
Seadoers acting without regard for other traffic, going in circles and other unpredictable maneuvers in a high traffic area. In fact, I think the Searay tries to go between the seadoos and rather than veering away, the seadoos do a quick 180 and one actually turns back into the sSearay and hits the hull.
