I heard my Dad tell the man who took us out on his boat we had better head in as he didn't like the look of the clouds that were forming. The owner of the boat said a little rain never hurt anybody. That began a 4 hour battle to get back to our campgrounds on Sandusky bay from Lake Erie. The bay was even raging with the boat hitting the bottom after every wave. Lost boat propeller and had to paddle the rest of the way in, I was a child in the early 1970s but I will always remember sitting with a life jacket on and our moms telling us to pray. My dad was an experienced boater and coast guard and he told me the driver of the boat that day didn't respect the lake, that he didn't get storms can pop up in a matter of minutes on Lake Erie. Growing up on the lake as I did I respected it ever since. The waves on that Lake were incredible. Glad that cabin cruiser we were on held up and I never forgot my Dad's calm demeanor and guidance that day. He was the reason we made it back in one piece.
14 foot aluminium boat, on a small lake, wave goes to 1.5 foot to 3.5 in a blink of an eye.. scariest experience in my life. Next morning selling the 14 aluminum boat and buy an 18 an watching forecast before each fishing trip now…..
I grew up 4 miles away from Lake Erie, and spent a lot of time out on that lake in small boats as a child. I have friends who live near oceans, and they often dismiss the great lakes as insignificant and benign bodies of water. Those lakes will kill you in a hurry if you naively doubt their ferocity, and underestimate their potential.
I've never been up there, but I can assure you I respects those waters just as much as off shore. The storms up there in the summer can be extremely violent, more so than the vast majority of squalls down here in the gulf other than the tropical systems, and the squalls are nothing to play around with either.
I've been on some small lakes that can get hairy enough. I couldn't imagine how bad it gets on the great lakes. I believe it that it can get you good out there. The ocean on a good day can kill you.
@@brettshannon4032 you didn’t grow up on the gulf if you think our squalls are insignificant. We have squalls way worse than this storm on a daily basis in the summer in Florida. Would much rather go through one in a landlocked lake where it can only get so rough.
@@diegoscoffin7491 I've been all up and down east coast and the gulf. I never said they ain't shit, i don't play with weather and the water. You don't think supercells cant stir up 20 to 30 foot seas just because it's a so called "lake"?
The scary thing about watching this, having sailed on it commercially for years., this was not even anything close to a real Lake Erie storm. All fun and games till you find out fresh water and lungs don't mix.
@@cartercarter3484 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o_vfWw02Dj8.html Found that one of some winter surfers but usually mid August onward 10 footer+ are normal in a good storm. It's the most shallow of the lakes so when they go it comes on fast.
Off of Barcelona Harbor, about two miles, from mostly calm to ten foot waves in a half hour. Comes up quick, and it is easy to dismiss the early warning signs because you know that it usually isn't that bad. But when it does get bad, your swamped and bobbing at the surface. The motor doesn't want to push a boat full of water. It does get scary.
I an't believe how slow everyone was to react to the captains orders to get the lines and plates back into the boat! This could have been a real disaster!
seems like they got surprised by the weather thats a mistake but it happens. I don't see why they're so stupid they reeled up and went in maybe they could have done so a little earlier. The guy on the keyboard is always fucking smarter right.
This storm didn't just come out of nowhere. It was a front. Lake Erie can change in minutes, but this type of storm was forecasted. This is just being unprepared and the call for life jackets is was too late.
If you are ever wondering how people get caught up in a storm and die on the Great Lakes or an ocean, just watch this video. When the water was calmer, at the beginning, they still had time to move out of the way of the worst of that storm (if their engine was working properly). This was a foolhardy and unnecessary risk to take and it's obvious that was no rogue storm--it was part of a previously forecast system. The captain and crew were either untrained or just stupid. Life jackets that will become waterlogged death weights in less than an hour and average summer water temperatures in the low 70's F (22 C)... it would be a shame, but all of those guys would not make it long enough to be rescued.
Nintenkid91 It still baffles me when people say "I didn't know it was supposed to rain?". Even if it wasn't forecast - did you not ever make the connection between hot sticky afternoons and stormy evenings?
Yup my thoughts as well, I actually wondered if these guys including the boat driver have ever been out on the water before lol the captain didn't seem to know what he was doing
More people died on the Great Lakes in 2016 than any other. I was at my home port this past August when one happened. The Coast Guard helicopter circling the area was a sober reminder of just how much water you are on. In the 45 years I've fished the Great Lakes, I've seen and heard too many incidents that could have and should have been prevented.
“should have and could have been prevented” are words usually attached to most captains who sit on the stern in a storm. At least he gave them life jackets.
Never underestimate the power of Lake Erie. I was up by the salt mine area. We walked out along that peninsula and beach. There were whitecaps right against the grand river outlet. The report was waves ranging from 2-6 feet.
Wow , still fishing when the storm was on the horizon, this captain is not going to live long, if he keeps this behavior up. Having been caught in a full gale in the days before radio were common it is not something you want to do more than once.
+samiam1150 -- Yep. And the fact that the skipper had to tell the others where the life jackets were, and that there weren't enough until getting more out of a case in the forward compartment, is also worrying. There should have been a safety briefing at the dock before setting off, and enough PFDs for each soul on board should have been readily available, if not actually worn.
+SeikiBrian Wouldn't have mattered much even if they had been wearing those lifejackets. They're the wrong type. Type II Lifejackets are designed for calm inland waters where rescue would be quick. If that boat had sunk, and all they had were those lifejackets, they probably would have drowned anyway, given the location & the condition of the seas.
1unknowtou doesnt matter if its fresh water the lakes are so big they have the same laws as they do if you go out past 3 miles in the ocean. also salt water has more buoyancy then fresh water so those life jackets wouldnt have done much after a couple hours of being thrown aroind by tge waves because they could be rescued
Rick Garland I wasn't talking about the maritime laws or safety at all. I was referring to the error in calling the body of water what it should be. Lake Erie being shallow actually can make it more dangerous.
And then divided by six. Captain said start getting lines in . Jerks just wandered around until storm was on then and then lines tangled and some almost wrapped around prop. Not a good situation to be in,
Lake Erie is particularly dangerous, not just because of the intense thunderstorms that brew up out of nowhere but because it is so shallow. Shallow bodies of water create square waves when the seas come up as the bottoms, tops of the waves are chopped off by the lake bottom. Square waves are steep. You literally fall off of them. Take a look at shipwreck maps of Erie. It is sobering how many have been lost. p.s. Power boats are like shoe boxes and they are terrible hull forms in any kind of weather.
I don’t know if that’s fair exactly, I was on lake George and a storm hit us out of no where sunny one minute, got a little dark and then BAM and it’s swells get so bad you hit bottom.
There's a reason Lake Erie requires even freighter captains to have special marine licensing to pilot that lake. Wave sets may not be as high as in the Atlantic but the intervals are deadly close and its the most shallow lake of them all.
How do we know that those storms were forecast for that day?? There are NO other rec boaters in sight! If you don't give the Great Lakes the respect you would give to an ocean, you're asking to become fish bait.... Any "lake" (Superior) that can sink a 700+ foot long freighter ship, before the crew could even scream "mayday" into the radio, is a lake as dangerous as any ocean on the planet (SS Edmund Fitzgerald).
I had a similar experience on Lake Erie back in 1980. It went from a calm Beautiful summer day to black skies quickly, the waves were so big, we were getting pounded badly. Thank God my Uncle Jimmy and Cousin David were experienced boaters, we finally made it to shore n waited it out. Scary
A friend had a 30+ sailboat in Marblehead. When Lake Erie kicks up it can gon from an easy relaxing day to dangerous in a heartbeat. You do not leave the marina without a weather forecast and a radio. This storm was pretty mild.
@@dantheman8872 it is but so is Erie and well hell all 5 are the "most dangerous" Superior is the most dangerous in terms of shear volume and size, Erie is the shallowest and gets rough the fastest but Michigan, Huron, and Ontario all get crazy too
People who aren't from around here often don't realize how deadly Lake Erie storms can be, and how they seem to appear out of nowhere. Like the Cessna that just went missing on 12-30-16, and even the mystery of lake effect snow- how forecasters still can't predict it accurately. Some see it as just a little lake, but there are still hundreds of capsized boats and ships who have never been recovered. He was smart to tell them to get their life jackets on.
Erie is the smallest of the Great Lakes, but from what I have read and seen here on You Tube, it can be deadly with storms that flare up suddenly. Why didn't they turn around and head in when they saw that big dark cloud? I live in Chicago on Lake Michigan, and a lot of storms and lake effect snow whip up suddenly.
E Mack - I can only assume it was because of their carelessness. :/ Many people on Lake Erie only consider the "now" waves, instead of wiring about the "oncoming" waves. They think to themselves, "Well, I see the storm coming... But, the waves are still flat so I guess I'll just hang out a little bit longer." Then, before they know it, BOOM, the waves are crashing in high before they even know it...
Here is a classic example of how guys die going fishing, and why some people shouldn't own a boat! The skipper didn't require everyone to wear life jackets, the skipper is out of the boat on the swim platform retrieving equipment that can be done from the cockpit. If he falls in there is another emergency! Well, I am sure you can see the list of bad actions goes on and on. These guys were lucky!
Matthew_Aviation They saw the storm on the horizon. Should have been pro active instead they were reactive. They should've had all the gear pulled in and stowed with their lifejackets on before the storm even hit them. This falls on the inexperience of the skipper!
Keith, I want to thank you for posting this video. It gave me a wake up call. I am 69 year old female who runs a 24 foot cabin cruiser on Lake Erie. I have been raised around this lake so I know first hand how quickly a storm can blow in. After watching your video, I made a poster with the directions on initializing a mayday call on the radio with the phone number of the coast guard in case the radio fails and the telephone number of Boat US for towing. I will post it right at the helm. I think you handled that situation very well and I did not see any panic. I wish I could have seen the rest of the video where you arrived at port LOL.. thanks
I got caught in a storm that came out of nowhere in my 30' cabin cruiser on Lake Michigan between Milwaukee and Port Washington. We were in 16' swells! When we were in the belly of the swell all we could see was a black wall of water all around us!! We were 10 miles offshore and for a time, I didn't think we would make it. The boat sustained some damage but we made it back to port. I spent my entire life growing up along the lake but since that day, it has my full respect! That sense of helplessness is something you NEVER forget!!
I fished a lot of Lake Erie by Canadian border in around 50 to 60 feet of water but most of south end seems to be 20 feet or less. its the shallow lakes that can blow up real fast and catch you off guard sometimes,,, but these guys were just an accident looking for a place to happen, and too many captains on board.
If you're on Waverly Beach, where Lake Erie turns to become the Niagara River, you are looking up the Canadian and American sides of the lake. A cloud formation can be coming down along the Canadian shore, with another cloud formation coming down the American side. I saw Canadian clouds bump into American clouds, making a ninety-degree angle as they were turned away.
As someone who lived on neighboring Lake Ontario and boated there, the calm water can turn to white caps/bad chop in a matter of minutes. Must have a 40ft+ boat with a radio, as a rule you never go more than a 1/2 mile off shore. Great lakes have hundreds of sunken wrecks - some of them were ocean-going vessels; waves break ships in half.
I remeber once that me and 2 other friends was out on Lake Erie in an old 22 foot wooden boat when the weather changed from clear sky's to violent weather for 10 minutes. The swells were actually boisterous popping waves that would leave us suspended and falling back to crash about 10 feet each big wave pop. It was the scariest 10 minutes of my life. Hat of to Mr. P for staying calm and controlling the boat. I thought the bottom of the boat was going to bust open.
Swamp Rat Exactly, I think a lot of people don't realize how that works in the way of energy transfer of waves. The waves build very quickly and violently and they get slap happy. They didn't show what the Great Lakes can really bring in rough weather.
I used to fish out of Colchester Harbour all the time. Saw more of these storms come up than I can count. If this was in the forecast I probably wouldn't have went out more than a km from the harbour. If it wasn't I would have hustled back to the marina as fast as possible once I saw it starting to form.
The Great Lakes change in an instant and you are often too far away to allow a quick return to harbour.. They are in a weird weather area that is both Maritime and Continental at the same time ... the Continental part kicks in those intense thunderstorms out of the blue.
I rented a rowboat near lakeside and rowed a few miles out into lake erie. Storm came up quick. Bad part about Lake erie is it's shallowness. Waves get high, akin to the ocean surf. I rowed for all I was worth and got back into the dock with torrential rain and gail force winds. The dock master was so impressed, he let me have a free motor for all future trips.
I could walk to Lake onterio when u was a kid. Swam and fished in her most of my younger years. I've seen those kind of storms before, many times. There's only 2 places to be in storms like this. On shore or in a really really big boat
Holy crap. First time I saw Lake Erie was a sunny day, we were heading for Cleveland, and it was just calm & beautiful, this incredible body of water. I never saw any of the Great Lakes until 2013, late in life, and they were awesome.
I’ve been in much worse in Lake Erie multiple times. You’re just waiting for “it/something” to happen and keep hoping it doesn’t. Head for the closest marina no matter which way you were planning on going/ look for a place to beach it if you have to. A boat can be replaced-you can’t.
This should serve as an instructional video on what NOT to do under the topic of boating 101. The single FIRST thing to do BEFORE you go out trying to play 'deadliest catch' is check the weather! BTW, invest $120 in a decent DSC radio!
agreed and by the way, the title of that series MEANS what it says and those crews are making big money for risking their lives. they work as hard and as safely as they can not one of them wants to die and even then some boats never come home again. every body pays,, and i would say NO FISH,, be it a king crab, or a walleye, is worth ONE MAN's LIFE!!!!! that is a price too high to pay. when you see a storm like THAT moving in GET OFF THE GOD DAMN LAKE!!! the fucking fish will still be there the next day. THAT is called COMMON SENSE that is something the four of those clowns in that film clip sorely lack
Those are 3 to 4 foot waves at the most due to a small thunderstorm. However, inland boats are not use to one of the roughest great lakes. When you see the cigar black shaped cloud across the total horizon, then you can expect a Lake Erie squall line with thunderstorms and waves 6 to 8 feet and wind gusting to 50 plus knots.
I grew up on Lake Erie (Huron) and my dad sailed on the ore boats. As someone wrote, this is a nasty storm but have seen larger more deadly storms on the lake. Agree.
I remember being in the same situation on Lake Erie. Anyone who talks shit about how it doesn't look bad had never been on the lake. The waves come strait up under the boat, not rolling like the ocean or larger lakes. Kudos for actually wearing the jackets. So many "almost died" videos on you tube, but most never put on a jacket.
Im on lake St Clair in Michigan and we have a 47 foot Excalibur. We were heading to cedar point and got stuck in a storm on Lake Erie, the waves were crashing over the bow, and a couple ended up going through our canvas. Lake Erie is a shallow lake which ends up causing huge waves.
Lakes are more dangerous in storms than the ocean due to extreme short interval swells that will swamp you. I’ve boated all the pacific and Los Cabos. The most scared I have ever been was at lake don Pedro when a storm hit
Jay Battle "i have been in storms when the weather was clear for days with zero precipitation" This does not make any sense. You can't have a storm with zero precipitation and clear weather. Perhaps you comments are the ones that need to hit the crapper.
Pho Nics Popup storms are extremely common around the lakes - All it takes is a temperature over 80f with mild humidity and you've got all the ingredients needed for a stormy evening. Both sticky days and days over 80f are pretty common on the southern side of the great lakes (during summer obviously). A sunny blue sky day can have a rouge storm form in 10-15 minutes.
Those are some Breakers there, that ship,looks fairly small but the Captain did well, not freaking out and keeping steady power up so the Bow is always up but not so fast to bounce too much. Great Job Capt.
Hey, while I have my thumb up my ass with this camera, lets let the boat turn broadside to and watch everything go to shit. Wonder none of these morons drowned.
lol it was bad.. the waves were only like 2ft they looked like idk the camera guy wouldnt show then just the windshield lol.. i boat and live on lake erie... always watch weather
I think it was bad planning to have been caught by this weather since you can see it days away. I do want to commend the captain for getting out the life preservers. Men are not always so willing to put them on. I witnessed a boat being flipped over near the moth of the Columbia river when I was 10. I never had a problem wearing a life preserver from that day on. 4 men went in 1 came out. We were 75 yards away and another boat was there in less then 1 min.
I grew up on Lake Erie. Our house was flooded by Lake Erie’s twice. Great Lake ships would sometimes ground themselves in front of the house in the fog. The Edmund Fitzgerald used to steam by our yard. But these guys can’t figure out how to wind in their reels before they motor under a shelf cloud?
Man I grew up on that good old girl ( Erie). Fishing out of Port Colborne Ont 🇨🇦. Erie is such a shallow lake. That is what makes her deadly. I was caught out in a storm one time and the swells had to be at lest 8 to 10 feet. When u were at the bottom of the swell, it looked like the water was going to collapse on you. At the bottom all u can see is water 360 degrees no sky.
Yep that's are Great Lakes storms come in out of nowhere I'm on Lake Huron out of Bayfield Ontario I've been in some pretty wicked shit coming back from the North Channel
This has happened to me on both Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Although, I was on a sailboat without a way to easily evade the squalls. Why did these guys wait until the it was right over them before deciding to reel in their lines?
i dont understand how people in this day and age can get caught with their pants down by weather like this when its so incredibly easy to keep tabs on the weather minute to minute. there's no excuse. I constantly keep tabs on the radar even when im home safe, but to think you could go out in a tiny little boat and not even have your gear pulled in by the time a massive storm hits you.. its insane.
This looks like every trip I’ve taken on my friends boat! “ Hey, I heard there’s a nor’easter hitting heavy today! “ “ Nah, that’s going to miss us..the fish are everywhere today we can’t miss! “ “ Ok, great! “ ………..🙄😂
In reading these comments, I can see why the coast guard is strict with life jackets etc. These people saying this video is nothing or talking about going on lake erie in small boats like 16 ft in waves of 5 ft are just plain idiots. I've been around lake erie all my life and I have known of many people loosing their lives over stupidity. You can never be too careful on Lake Erie and taking lake erie lightly is careless and an accident waiting to happen.
Karen Pleban agreed. If you don't respect Erie, it will kill you. I'm not sure if this was a chartered tour but if it was, the owner is criminally negligent
i've been in a storm like this up there in an 18ft Thompson out near West Sister, we ran as soon as the wind switched direction and still couldn't make it away fast enough. Luckily, with gps, we made it into Turtle Creek to wait it out, but it went from flat to 6 foot waves in minutes. Now, we watch the radar and wave/wind forecast constantly so it never happens again.
Got caught in a lake storm on the 3rd leg of our boating trip from cedar point to Cleveland,weather report said 1 to 3 ft waves,bright sunny day,we normally would leave at dawn,but,this day we hesitated,left about 10:30am,got out from cedar point heading east towards Cleveland,1 to 3 foot waves,had a 34x Silverton( could handle those waves,no problem),but,as we got further out,waves went to 3 to 6 and if you know Erie, these waves slosh from all directions,I mind you pretty blue skies,no rain,wasn’t no one out there but our regatta of 7 boats,the further out we got the worst it got,it got so bad,the waves would lift my boat out of the water(I could see the seaweed and sand on the bottom) and hear my props whizzing out of the water ,this happened about hundreds of times,waves where going over the top of my boat(anyone who knows silverton’s know that they sit out of the water pretty high),(34x cruiser) ,stood up the whole journey on a trip that’s normal a 3 to 4 hr ride ended up being a9.5 hr thriller,when we got to Cleveland,I kissed the ground....They don’t call it Lake Eeriee for nothing
You won't catch me on the Great Lakes without twin screws. About 10 yrs ago we had 3 boats convoying to Cedar Point from St Clair, evening came along with an expected storm but it was worse than anticipated. I was on a 34' Sundancer & we must've hit a deadhead or something cuz it popped one of the outdrives into the emergency position, so we had to coast in on one 1 motor. Not sure what would've happened if we only had the 1, the storm was pretty bad. When I was a kid and went to St. Clair every weekend to our boat, I remember my dad telling my mother that he'd never buy a boat without twins...He's a smart man. Not sure if he got that idea from the Navy or wherever, but I always remembered it and followed his rule.
That boat will handle alot more than that,...That wind is just when it's starting to get fun,...! You need to come sailing with me some time when it's gusting 40-50 knots,...that's blowin'. Tim Erie,Pa.
These people who talk about small craft have never been on Lake Erie during a storm. I was many years ago with my father and I can tell you, scariest experience of my life. We almost didn't make it back, and we had a 20'. Marine radio's were expensive in the 80s, but he bought one soon after that experience. People can talk all they want...but I am telling you, Lake Erie is a scary lake in chop. There's no way I would even take anything under MAYBE a 16' out there unless it was pure glass.
+Matthew Pilarski * "radios" and " '80s." Misuse of apostrophes is common, but it's not hard to learn the correct usage. The first rule of thumb is: never use apostrophes to make words plural. So "radios" is the plural of "radio" and "radio's" is a singular possessive for something belonging to one radio. The second rule is: use apostrophes in contractions to stand in for other characters. So " '80s" is a contraction of "1980s."
Thank you for that comment. I will be sure to correct my grammar next time I care about the internet. Usually, I spend my days working for a living and not sitting in front of a computer correcting people's grammar. Although I've really never felt what it has been like to be unemployed.
+Matthew Pilarski -- I know the feeling: from mowing lawns. picking berries at a farm, and delivering newspapers when I was in grade school, to working on a fishing boat and at a gas station in junior high, to a split shift in a nursing home before and after school my senior year of high school, and on to full-time employment as an adult now in my 6th decade on earth, I've had to work for a living. Of course, by managing my time properly I also find time to watch PBS on TV, browse the internet, and even take online and college classes on various subjects from time to time. Never stop learning; that's the day you start to die.
I hear you.These morons saying that was nothing have never been caught in a bad storm. Big talk is real easy when you have no one to call yoi out on your BS.
Just this year we was out in 5-6foot waves walleye drifting . It was crazy. We was catching fish nonstop and as soon as the wind picked up nothing and half the boat was seasick.
I live in southern Virginia and i've been told by people who had boated the Great Lakes to never take a Great Lakes Storm lightly. I am glad they are safe but I am wondering why they waited until it was on them before starting to pack it up. Of course not being a fisherman i may not understand their need to fish until the last minute. Good video and excellent lesson on knowing your boat and where the emergency equipment is located and where you are. Again glad you made it home okay.
Because stoms often change directions when they reach water....you gotta watch them to figure a lot out about the speed and direction and what the best plan is. Action without planning is frequently worse than inaction. Failing to plan is planning to fail.
Grew up on the great lakes and this doesn't look bad at all. Some friend's and I drove out to Marian Island Traverse Bay (Traverse City Michigan) and on our way back a storm kicked up in min's. We were all 16-17 in a 16' P.O.S Bayliner in huge sea's and cracked the hull coming in. The Great Lake's are wicked and this vid is the norm out there.
I got sea sick just watching the video flipping around filming the ceiling of the cabin. Did I miss it or was there actually some footage of the storm?
Switch over to your GPS map to figure your best course. The wind is blowing you off a compass heading and it will record your past track, then you can figure course with average compass heading corrected for wind and wave.
Was caught in a storm when I was a kid on a bass boat with my dad and few friends. We were by middle bass when the storm blew in didn't even see it coming and shot across back to south bass behind some guys sea wall. It was crazy the little bass boat just slamming over the waves trying to hold the rods down and not fly overboard.
Great lakes are nothing to mess with. Those from around the country who have never seen them have no idea that it's just like being on the ocean. When that chop starts slamming the boat around and you can't see land it gets a little scary. Notice the driver was quiet the whole time, it's hard to navigate and clench ass cheeks at the same time.
Great Aunts had a cottage right on Lake Erie. I was a kid but remember the fire flys and how you could walk a quarter mile out and the water would be only up to your waist.
I'm looking to m e to Cleveland is the algae issue stills. Problem on the western side? Is there a lot of nasty things on the bottom like dead bodies batteries and other bad chemicals? Is jet skiing allowed? Is it somewhat clear near shore or nasty and murky? I reslly want to move to Cleveland for the lake but idk if the lake is ready to be enjoyed I read so much had about it but it looks rather nice.
I knew a guy that got caught in a storm on superior, when he came back from trying to head for isle Royal two boats behind him sunk, my friend of course had a cover for the back of his boat that he made that buttoned over the back. The minute that storm was sighted these people should have been heading in. All the great lakes are dangerous. Some are only apparently in the low 40s ( water temperature) from what I have heard. There are many ships in all of them .
Lowrance makes this thing, it's called an "XM Weather Module" that works beautifully--if you care enough to buy one and learn how to use it. Of course it usually requires that you display the data on one of their GPS units, which these guys apparently didn't have either. I love a wet compass as much as the next person, but hey...why not have another tool in the toolbox.
Not bad. Captain said, "lines out of the water" and the crew has to MOVE. Good throttle control, took his time. Good call to put the jackets on too. Well done.
Let me start by saying....I loved this film! Intriguing characters, interesting plot and great storyline, Special effects were spectacular and combined with state-of-the-art cinematography this film has it all! If only it were a couple more hours longer-I was just getting to know the characters. I would not be surprised if the actor who played the part of the Captain gets nominated for an Oscar this year.One of the year's best! BRAVO!!
I’ve been on a charter out in north Carolina when it started getting bad out in 9 ft waves and I heard them say ” you forgot the jumper cables” and that when the fear kicked in. Also I live by Lake Erie
The caption of this video is incorrect. They didn’t get caught in the storm. They disregarded or never checked the weather forecast and if you notice there are no other small pleasure craft out on Lake Erie.
