At least he could salvage the fish box and leaning post/rigging station!
Either way, boss man ain't going to be happy.
An easy straight shot -- not like Boynton Inlet.
Why did the bow dig in???

Stern was lifted by the wave behind the boat....
the good question is: How could you have avoided that capsize? I suppose if he hit the throttle he may have avoided the loss but.....I don't know.

and close attention to keeping the bow up (26 foot Rabolo CC with twin 245s).
Never had any problems. ???

Yep! Could be?
Still, . . . was a sad event and glad I didn't witness in person.
Boynton Inlet, with that sand bar to the port side when going out is much more dangerous IMHO.
We knew to go out and approach the inlet by the south side. Not a big deal when the sea is
very calm, but, . . . I have seen some idiot in an 16 - 18 foot open outboard go out and almost
end up with with the bow in almost a vertical position with about 6 people aboard!
That was close -- very close.

I like how the surfer let him use his potato chip board for a little bit.
That’s what I was wondering. Didn’t look like a typical pitch-pole.

The drone there at the time seems a little coincidental.
Sorry for your loss Capt.

I also think he was trying to get her in as quickly as possible. Looking at the video numerous times, he was positioned correctly, IMO, with the wave at the bow. The distance between the waves were about as short as the boat. I don't think he saw the wave astern come up so quickly. With the bow weighted down (alot), he was doomed to stuff it.
From the comments, it seems the guy sends the drone up every time the inlet is rough to get good video.
He is there a lot

Phantom 3 Standard. Psssffff, lightweight.
I have the Phantom 3 Advanced!
:grin
Looked like a shamrock, which would mean inboard, I think more power to keep the following wave from lifting the stern would have avoided the problem. Scary stuff.
Yeah, that must of been what he was doing. Good call!
Hold my beer and watch this!!!
Boat was a 26. In that inlet you have to ride the back of the wave in front while on the throttle to keep from slipping back. If the wave behind catches up the stern will lift and you'll stuff the bow as he did.
FWIW the guy's name is Dave Sanderson. Certainly glad he is OK. A little research will show that he is a commercial who has been charged with possessing illegal fish and fined $50k in the past.

Rumor has it the bow was loaded and yes, a commercial guy.
