I was trolling FB earlier and found a page for Haulover Inlet in Miami, FL. Through my good fortune in marrying well above my station in life by my marriage to the beautiful Dr. Brady (a Miami native. She grew up on Mashta Dr. on Key Biscayne when it was essentially a subdivision), I get to transit Haulover Inlet when I go fishing with my brother-in-law, who lives just south of there. Haulover can be quite a handful at tide change. The FB page has a lot of videos of folks demonstrating their boat piloting.
I remember a time when nice people from this larger group of nice people would go over to Wappoo Inlet on holidays and have a great time drinking cold ones and scoring those insanely risky, or careless, or just plain exciting launches and recoveries at that landing. There are a few videos of Wappoo on FB. I enjoyed them all
(**(), I wish we lived there.
It could be...but probably not.

Yeah I’ve seen some of them videos myself. Some people really show their ignorance. I seen one where they had people up on the bow of the boat it threw him up about 5’ . They’ve come down hard surely there was broken bones
You find things offensive.
I find things funny.
That's why I'm happier than you.
You can just about go to any public boat ramp and see examples of rudeness, stupidity, ignorance and idiocy. I’ve seen several things that left me shaking my head and wondering WTH. So many folks now buying boats with no real experience and a lack of common sense.
"Apathy is the Glove into Which Evil Slips It's Hand", but really, who cares?
((We have required tests for driving an automobile. Why don’t we have required tests for driving boats, an equal killing machine in the wrong hands?))
The wife and I were just talking about that Saturday on the way back from the boat landing. After the s#!t show
I was putting the boat on the trailer I fella pulled up and slammed the dock. Then put it in reverse and backed into the bridge and crunched his nice new shiny Yamaha 150 into the concrete bridge piling.
Don’t even get me started on the jet skis. Especially the rentals.
