mishap in Jupiter inlet

[Ozzie-iv]

I was sent a pile of very large images of a flybridge cruiser coming into the inlet. Apparently,
the skipper was thrown from the flybridge and ended up dying.

we are taught down here that you stay on the back of a wave coming into an inlet don't overtake!

here is a link to the story

I am sure if you search you will be able to find about 40 sequence images

With all due respect Ozzie, you don’t know what you are talking about.

You cannot “stay on the back of a wave coming into……” Jupiter. At Jupiter you have to cross the surf break to get in.

Caption Tom knew this inlet as well as anyone. He was an experienced captain in a capable boat and had navigated this inlet many times.

In my opinion, its just one of those things. Not every accident is due to someone making a mistake.

I will wait until the investigation is complete before I make any other judgment.
