Florida thunderstorm season is here and I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to share our story with you. We were kite fishing offshore off the Florida coast, when a dangerous thunderstorm started to develop on shore. Before we knew it the Epic lightning storm was quickly approaching and we were stuck in a crazy life or death situation.This was a scary experience and one that could have taken our lives. So many things could have gone wrong, from being struck by lighting, to our boat capsizing or being swept out to sea. Don't try to outsmart nature and stay safe out there.

Also when you see clouds building. Especially the thunderheads, its time to go in.
No dip Sherlock
If I want to hear from an a hole ill fart
Yep
Thunderheads sounds like a band.
Zee ment that every time sailors see a storm, they always go into it but not try to ride away or around it.
I’m Curious. With the combined knowledge and experience 3 of you have, how come nobody had a life jacket on?
Cause they was to busy giggling and laughing
Cos they're badass, obviously 🤘😎
Who actually wears those things unless the fish and game warden rolls by
@@DannyDoggedYou when there's lots of chop or a storm rolling in
@@DrunkBiden fr bro, also ur name made me die from laughing😂😂😂😂
''We took all the precautions...'' ...expect wearing a life jacket
@rickky spanishhh It's not going to keep you alive 5 hours. But let's say one of them gets knocked briefly overboard and needs picking up. Life jacket will help keep them above water until they can be picked up. Oh and thanks for the compliment on my intelligence by the way
Before fishing checklist: Life jackets Weather forecast Have a compass or something Make sure people know where you are Go
Nah coyote peterson is the modern day Steve Irwin
Weather radio
I liked this bc you’re right, but the life bikini was sufficient. I’m sure if it. 😉
Hey Jim
they from florida they cant understand
I was just thinking you guys are giving advice about safety and nobody even put a life vest on. glad you guys made it but that was silly. Before you sped into the storm the first thing you should of done was throw a vest on.
you're right
Put a life jacket on!
And secure the EPIRB to your vest. What good is bobbing around the middle of the ocean if no one knows your location.
he doesnt seem very smart...
"and the weather changed in the blink of an eye" - I wonder how many times search and rescue have heard that gem from an inexperienced boater.
Have you ever been to Florida? When they say a storm can form in the blink of an eye they mean IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. While you are ignorant the Coast Guard understands what they are talking about. Finish your education - go fishing off shore Florida during the summer months. I can’t believe there are so many ignorant people commenting on the story
Right on JD, Miles I also live in Florida and when the say a huge storm showed up in minutes that exactly what they mean. Also they said, "we did not know which way the storm was heading" which is also true, I've had them blow by with no consequences and also had them on top on me in minutes. (not time to pull an anchor)
I have many buddy with bigger balls then brains. It all macho until mother nature fucks you in the ass. The event chain is a mutherphucer. bad decisions lead to bad decisions.
inexperienced meteorologists. Thunderstorm forecasting is getting better and better, and you always have tools like weather radio, weather radar, convective outlooks, satellite imagery, etc. Also, you know when those cumulus towers start going up there will be a storm. Watching the sky and recognizing signs of a thunderstorm isn't hard.
How do inexperienced boaters become experienced boaters? By afternoons like this. 🤔😐 Good video. 😎👍 Wow such haters here lol.
The weather changed with the ‘blink of an eye’, really?!! A storm that big, come on and you never saw it coming?...hilarious. Lesson learnt!!
Ik he said don't act like a hero or brave but he was prob doing it
Her- we didn’t know it was coming, there was nothing we could do. Me- there’s a huge ass storm cloud in the distance
Literal massive supercell LOL
Not in Florida, shit shows up outta nowhere
@@soulsnipergaming8330 nah u can see the clouds rolling in
if you cant see that coming, your just stupid.
@@soulsnipergaming8330 went to Florida spring break. We are just walking down the road sunny ass day. We go in to a restaurant in Fort Lauderdale and we get our table like 5 min later we go upstairs and it’s like a balcony and I swear it turned to a dark day nobody on the beach anymore and it starts thunderstorming like a mother fucker and like 10-15 min later back to sunny
*5 miles off shore* "Those clouds don't look good" "Bet, let me fuck with this kite"
I literally grew up on boats, as a live-aboard, on a 60 foot schooner. Before that schooner, we lived on a 27 foot sloop. I can say from first-hand, personal experience... The first thing is what most of you said... LIFEJACKETS DIPSHIT!! Second, get the boat's load situated DOWN... poles, gear, people, EVERYTHING down as low as possible, preferrable in the bilge. Third, DON'T run for shore. It's too late. You're head to the wind AND the waves... you can't see, so don't try. KEEP your head to the wind and waves. Keep your speed and trim set to hold the bow up as high as possible. On my 16 foot Sea Ray, we got caught by a wind storm on Riffe Lake, in southwest Washington State, Riffe is only about 20 miles long, but it's got a veturi effect about 2/3 up lake, so your wind speed can go from 5kts on the west end to 35kts on the east end. I was in 30+kts wind, 4'+ breaking waves, and no shelter anywhere but down or across the wind. We got the gear resettled, lifejackets under real jackets, (they make GREAT insulation) and I got the boat just on step, but not on plane, so it was plowing along nose high. Then I trimmed the bow up even higher, and we stopped taking anything but spray over the bow. That's all the faster I went. I couldn't run from the storm, I couldn't get to shelter, so I didn't try. It took almost 4 hours to get to the ramp 16 miles away. Our only concern was fuel, since at that posture in the water I was at almost maximum fuel consumption. ALWAYS plan for the worst. Always PREPARE for the worst. Always EXPECT the worst. Because if she can, Mother Nature will kill your ass. These guys paniced and ran. They're lucky they didn't get their idiot asses sunk.
Funny thing is , your story isn’t that rare. It happens all the time. I’ve been caught so many times in my life that can’t remember them all. Ocean goes from 2 footers to taking them over the windshield in seconds. Faster than you can reel in the lines. Thunderstorm caught us under diving, once , boat captain thought he was going to roll. Another time stood a 55footer straight up. . The worst is having the fog come in on you at night with no radar. Scariest thing ever.
Billie Olinger, I envy you for having the experience of living aboard a schooner, in fact I'm jealous as hell. lol And the advice you gave is dead on. I got caught in a big wind storm in an 18 foot boat on Moosehead Lake, in Maine which is 40 miles long and famous for how quickly it can go from flat calm to monstrous waves in minutes. It was early spring and the water was unbearably cold, you couldn't survive in that cold for very long. The only option I had was to head into the storm, there was no way we could turn around and run with the waves, that would have caused water to come pouring over the stern. We had to ride it out until the wind died down which it did in about 30 minutes. Storms come up quick and only last about 30 to 45 minutes but it can be the longest 45 minutes of your life.
I’m just going to act like I understand half that paragraph. Lol
Billie Olinger y
Like...huh?
“I didn’t think I’d survive” Continues to cast out
I'm so glad they talked about it for 10 minutes and never showed the video itself... That was a close one.
Lmmfao im glad someone noticed
Why didn't you check the forecast? Why don't you have life jackets on? This is all preventable
David Buda right...and didnt they see a dark ass cloud about to head there way......i honeatly dont even feel bad...mother nature weeda out the dummies
Blink of an eye... storms are pop up, literally. The vid shows some serious convection. Trust me when I tell you the weatherman is friggin guessing his ass off in south fla.. put the class lll on, no joke
?
John Stuart when you see a massive circular storm cloud that could also be identifiable as a supercell storm you don’t go into the ducking water
a storm that big doesnt pop up, even in florida. a storm that strong had to take hours to form. im sure there were warnings well before they saw it.
Wow, that’s a huge storm! That’s probably gonna kill us but I gotta keep reeling in this fish!
aidanstearns that shelf cloud was awesome
@@timothyflanagan3641 I know it was!!!!!!!!!!!
flamingo an old fisherman’s rule in Florida leave early ,home early especially in the summer.!!! If you got enough gas go northeast or southeast and see where you are because you could go around it but you have to have a compass on your boat or don’t take it out ,compass very important
Kite* lol

Bless their hearts! They're still at that young age where they know everything and I hope they read these comments and took them to heart. It's almost irresistible not to make fun of them because they are presenting themselves as wise, experienced, and seaworthy pros when they obviously have not been taught to be out that far in the ocean. Like I said, I hope they took the advice in the comments even though they were being teased. We were all that age at one time.
You’re supposed to learn more as you age not less, just admit you’re ignorant
Why not be out that far in the ocean? People do it every single day…..
“There is no being macho on the ocean” “Make sure you have all your safety equipment “ but doesn’t wear a life vest 🙄
I was reading your comment as he was saying it lol how ironic
Have it in case, but normally you don't need to wear it. Would you wear a seat belt driving around a parking lot?
While reading ur comment, the dude said it exactly the same kinda😳
My husband and I have a 38 foot boat and no, you normally don’t need to wear a life vest in normal conditions, but as soon as you see that storm coming, you put your vest on! Those waves throw us around even on a big ass ocean yacht and you could easily fall overboard when it’s rocking that badly! Let alone in a small boat that could possible capsize.
@@christinafidance340 what boat?
My older brother was a commercial fisherman working in Georgian Bay when a huge storm hit and capsized his boat and put him in freezing cold water which caused him to die from hypothermia. His youngest daughter was born a month later. Weather can change real fast if you are inland on a lake or in the ocean. I live in Nova Scotia and we joke about the weather by saying wait 5 minutes and it will change. My brother would have been 55 on the 6th of June.
David McDonald wow, just goes to show you the power of the ocean, R.I.P.
He was killed by Lake Huron actually. Georgian Bay is one of several bays around the lake.
David McDonald oh, my apologies I don't know much about northern waters
Water can kill you in 3 minutes during the winter months.
Wow, very sorry to hear for your loss David. The weather should never be taken lightly
Why do people have to narrate everything, just play the video I can figure out what's going on, thanks
JaxC5Vette yes ! I turned the bloody thing off because of it. Thought I'd be watching a video, not listening to a radio show. Holy crap
its Showtime You obviously do since you took the time to reply to someone complaining.
Narcissistic millennials always have to take you center stage.
its Showtime Technically it is because if you “didn’t care” you wouldn’t take the time to troll.
its Showtime But you just did... you're not the best troller I've seen lmao
They were good the whole time. I seen smiles throughout
12 yrs ago I worked in a huge casino vessel / ship ( 70,000 tonnes ) Once our vessel reached the South China sea ( from Singapore) and Infront of us we can see clear a huge big black cloud with thunderstorms . Once in it , the wind blow hard and the rough sea waves makes the ship moving crazy.... I've experienced and I realized how small we are , and how big the sea is...🌹😎
When you are in open water, black water, dark as can be. It puts the fear of god like nothing else.
Man I mf bet 😂
@@osekkzc9402 wait till you scuba dive in it

Did you have life jackets on board? If so, WHY DID YOU NOT HAVE THEM ON RIGHT AWAY? You guys put yourselves, and others in unnecessary danger...
The awesomeness that is Mother Nature, never ceases to amaze me. Look at that sky. Im so sorry for any stress that you had to go through, but man, is it gorgeous.
Thank y'all for the explanation of this event in detail. Y'all are wonderful people and I am so very thankful you all made it back to safety. Thank you for the upload and God bless y'all
“When you can’t see....you might hit a log....” This ain’t a lake bro.
It’s called drift wood
@@harrisoncoleman6306 Not to much drift wood in South Florida in Open Ocean Bro.😒 Better Chance of Hitting Wilson the soccer ⚽ ball from the movie castaway bro 👍
I was in the ocean a couple of weeks ago and they log came by the boat Sunset Beach
@@amoshall642 So no Wilson? ⚽🤔 I'm in Port Charlotte harbor every day commercial fishing and through the inlet in and out for the past 30 years haven't seen so much as a man grove pod since then. Well outside of Hurricane Charlie. Your a lucky man Not saying ain't shit out their but gdamn you people are slow 😒
I was thinkin the same thing😂
life jackets would have been appropriate during this "significant emotional event" .......... ;-p
I know I'm way late but thanks for the video, I'm glad you both made it out safe. That is tragic what happened to those boys, may their souls be at peace and their families be comforted. Stay safe everyone.
I reckon you have a good 30 mins warning from just looking at it. With respect and glad you shared your story. Great for everyone to learn.
Never been to Florida but I would love to go one day. The Gold Coast of Australia is similar to what you have. Further up there is the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsundays. However being to Florida to understand weather is a logical fallacy. To the uninitiated such as yourself it’ll feel like these storms came from nowhere but for those that know will recognise it, they can see it coming with plenty of time to get to the car. Yes, there are exceptions to the rule such as tornadoes but not the example you’re providing. As a commercial pilot who has flown around the world, I live it, study and breath it. Constantly refining my knowledge when new info comes to light but with respect your comment isn’t going to be one of them.
you can see a storm that big coming for a while Checking the radar on your phone would have shown you the storm cell and direction Weather radio would have given you a heads up Think PFD before EPIRB cut the fish and kite loose....you chose a fish over your own safety.
fish tastes good
help It also helps being alive to taste that fish.
That's what i'm saying. You can see a storm like that developing from many miles away they just weren't paying attention or thought it wouldn't be that bad. If you live in FL as I do and claim to know how unpredictable the weather here can be then you should be extra cautious unless you want to die.
Hey genius...they clearly stated they was 5 miles out from shore...so where exactly was you thinking there was a cell tower at out there? OMG you people are so fucking stupid it's some scary ass shit that we even breath the same fucking air!
None of you wore life jackets?
And they were offshore in some 16 footer. Stupid mistake, especially for inexperienced kids like these.
So
Ya I’m not wearing a life vest either in a boat. The seas weren’t that bad. Rough yes but not life vest rough.
erickwalker11 not about how rough the water is. I’ve been sailing for 60 years. If u fall off and hit ur head now ur unconscious in the water with no life vest
metiatric thats what you learned after "60 years of sailing experience?" first of all, thats basic knowledge, and lastly there are no way in hell that you are 70+.
Glad you both survived. I've been in or saw 7 tornados in my life in the Chicago area. Be safe not sorry!
Hmmm, if your buddy is as experienced as you say, he should have mentioned to wrap everything up its time to go. Clouds like that are not hard to miss especially when they're rolling towards you. Here in Florida you can feel the change in the air before a storm the air gets cooler the wind picks up. Least you're both safe and hope you are able to read the Florida weather. Definitely an experience.
I can`t believe none of these people were wearing life jackets.
No life vests, and probably no life raft either. Both are required by law in offshore operations. Irresponsible kids that got lucky they didnt die.
Really, life rafts are required? I go offshore fishing a lot and my boat wouldnt have room for one.
The life raft requirement only pertains to Commercial fisherman, and only if they fish more than ( i think ) 9 miles offshore. Might be a little less or more, not sure now.
Did the Titanic teach you nothing!!
No kidding, their only shot at living if the shit went under.
My next door neighbor here in Maryland was lost in one of those storms on May 21st 2016. They were fishing off of Cedar Key in the gulf and got hit by a storm. They didn't show up by morning and the Coast Guard went searching. They found the boat capsized and Gil's brother and a friend were still hanging on to the boat. my neighbor got separated from the boat and was lost. He was wearing a life vest. Gilbert Valdes- RIP
RIP Gil, sorry to hear. Storms are no joke
🙏
Your neighbour is probably a crew member on the flying dutchmen
What if he is still alive
Brooke Barkey he is. He is an undead zombie now on a pirate crew
Hahahahahahahahaha you guys crack me up “nothing we could have done to avoid it” lolololol just glad y’all are safe.
EPIRBs are a must- Life jackets are a must be worn all times, especially during bad weather. Towing a small dingy behind boat is a great easy safety net or inflatable life raft. Need to carry fresh drinkable water. Need enough water to last 24,48 hours or more out at sea. Believe there are waterproof radios available if in water. Ability to be tethered to your boat. Safety life cable. Cruising that fast in choppy waves can easily bounce a person over board. Safest place to be is on or near the boat. It’s much faster to be able to spot a large boat stranded in the water than a tiny head bobbing on top of water from a helicopter perspective. Paint the bottom hull of your boat bright orange or red- making it easier to see via plane above you if capsized etc Maybe having a bigger boat where one can weather a storm like a 40’ sailboat or inside cabin helps. Blue Water rated boats are something to think about.
Yes it dose
I spent over 20 years in Florida, you are correct in saying the storms are no joke. I'm very glad you and your friends made it back safely. Thank you for speaking out and sharing this video, you may have had someone listen and saved a life. God Bless...
Thank you
Why were you not monitoring NOAA on the VHF and heeding the Notice to Mariners? And why didn't everyone don life preservers? Been there also but only because we waited too long after the first warnings. Keep the VHF on at all times. And play it safe.
They probably only had one and it was set to monitor 16.
If I had a dollar for every time the VHF was saying “winds 6-8 Kts. Seas 1-3 feet “ as I was riding out sustained 25 and 6-8ft seas in the Gulf-stream I’d be rich! The Stream makes its own weather that is often not predicted. The forecast when they went out may have said, “ Afternoon thunderstorms possible”. That’s a standard forecast for nearly half the year! I have sailed these waters for 40+ years; and if they were hit with 20-35Kt winds they got off light. I have seen in excess of 60 all too many times. I’m really glad they had no serious problems. And yeah, I’ve said a few prayers out there.
lol why are you so mad? Caps wont help you. Stop posting half of your shit in caps.
Jim M while that’s good advice, it’s very likely that there was no notice to mariners issued. This is south Florida in the summer. Cells can pop up anywhere at any time and they rarely give you any kind of usable advanced notice.
Jim M Ssa
I'm glad you survived. But I also spent my life kayaking the great lakes and know a thing or two about fast changing weather on large open bodies of water. Getting caught in a storm is almost always preventable. You can't neglect being vigilant about weather and knowing how to read the clouds. Yeah MI and FL are different climates, but trust me when I say that the last place you ever want to be in MI is in a great lake in a kayak during a storm. A few people die here every single year that way from getting caught off guard.
Ayyyy another Michigan fan!
Two people died on lake Champlain a few years ago in a storm. They were on kayaks and fairly close to shore.
Great Lakes ain’t Florida, been to both and fished both, weather ain’t even remotely similar 😂😂😂, Florida , out on the ocean, storms will literally form out of nowhere, one minute the radar shows nothing and the next an entire storm has formed, it’s bizarre, but I’ve only really noticed it in FL.
Holy crap they literally talked the whole video. I thought it was going to be good.
I've been in a few storms down in FL. By far the worst story was when my dad and I were diving off of Duck Key. We did our first dive no issues; the captain moved us to the second location. During the brief, he told everyone there was a storm way off in the distance but didn't think it would be an issue... Well, my dad and I were down I guess about 30ft all of a sudden we started seeing flashes like someone was taking pictures.... yeah no one was around us. Being younger I was able to surface a little quicker than my dad. I pop my head up to getting pelted with heavy rain and lighting and the waves were getting bigger. What really made me panic was the distance we were from the boat id approximate 100-150yd's. Since my dad was still down at the bottom I dove back down and tried to get his attention and relay the situation to him....at the time he didn't quite get it so I started swimming as fast as I could he thought I was just being crazy. Finally reached the boat taking off my fins and climbing the ladder and walking across the deck with the swells rocking the boat was insane. Oh, and I was about 12 or 13 at the time this all happened. Now when I'm down there during the summer and im the captain I watch the radar constantly while the weather is always unpredictable I use an app called Radar Scope its the most accurate weather radar app I've found. I Pay for the subscription that gives me lighting data and storm track. I highly recommended it might save your life.
First thing you need to do is take a National Weather Service spotter course. I could see that was a super cell from the beginning. Then take a weather radio with you. You would have had more warning and not been caught like this.
The sound of the rain behind u guys is relaxing. Im glad u guys made it threw the storm!
I remember them boys. I was living in west palm and went to a candle light. Just staring at the ocean and even if they survived just imagining floating and dying. Broke my heart.
Great vid! You were definitely asking for it though, wasn't a sneaky storm at all haha, was already on top of you when you decided to haul everything in
Rest in peace Austin and Perry ❤
One thing I could add as I have been in storms lime that, is first thing you do is to get your life vest on. I see the skipper with no life vest on. Also make sure you radio in and let the coast guard know you are in your way back and ETA. To just drive blindly and hope for the best is not always the best thing. Stay calm and assess the situation over and over as it might change. But the key is to stay calm.
I’m so sorry about these horrible, rude, immature comments... Ya’ll did an excellent job trying to explain your trauma and help other people... If you were not in this boat, on this day, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH.....Don’t comment if you don’t like a video, or are not interested in the subject matter...etc.- Just watch something else... Simple... Again, Thank you both for great, informing videos and stay safe 😊😊
Great video! The first thing I would have done in that situation which I already have done 2wice before is put on my life jacket. Once your in the water it will be almost impossible to put on your life vest.
Life jackets should have been on
You hit it on the head. Get your life vests on.
Or find them for that matter, you wouldn't be able to get to them because they are stuffed away if the boat is capsized. This is the difference between being 21 and 50, Common sense.
I cannot believe that you had a licensed captain on board and no one was wearing life jackets. Perhaps you’re captain needs to go back to school.
Landshark Fishing no shit genuis
Where the hell is your three's life jackets, they only work if you have them on. Amateurs and bring goggles with next time and keep them in the boat and you won't be blinded by the rain and spray.
"I've been on boats since I was born" Doesn't even wear a life jacket. Lmfao oooookay
Thank you guys for sharing your story. God is good. Good too see you guys made back safe.
glad u guys got in ok. happened to me too , very scary , crazy how fast these storms can roll in but better to always play it safe. Rip Austin and Perry
They obviously know nothing about weather
they said in the video that they checked the upcoming weather, weather can change from good to bad in minutes, you're just being ignorant and angry for no reason, fuck out of here
help did they really though? You’re just being gullible and angry for no reason. Get the fuck outta here.

Can we all just admit pretty much anywhere in the USA you will find a couple who will say "The weather is insane here it changed in the blink of an eye'
Because it can lol
Solid 2' to 3' seas. 20 kts of wind. The only danger was the lighting. Not much to see here.
Rob Brooks yeah clicking on this I was kinda expecting 10-20ft swells the way the title was phrased. “I thought we would die” Worst shit that would have happens is y’all get wet.
I've seen bigger swells on my lake... 🤦♂️
I've seen bigger swells in Houston parking lots lmfao
It’s still nothing to mess with if you’re not experienced...
Will lightning hit it? As boat acts as Faraday cage right?
Bs with that(before we know it,)and that (in no time was right on us)storm don’t move that fast y’all had enough time to get out but decided to stay and record and Raül línes in
Thanks for sharing. I'm from Stuart FL and have been caught in some rough weather on nearly the same boat (23' Contender). I consider myself overly cautious by carrying a handheld/water proof GPS UHF, I carry a EPRIB on my persons, and I wear an auto inflating life jacket. I watch the radar and other means of weather info. I leave a float plan, and my wife also tracks me, as long an cellular reception will allow. My 6 year old often insists on accompanying me but he wears a life jacket at ALL times with D-rings so I can tether him to me if the weather even thinks of getting sketchy. Despite all this, your video made rethink my strategy and will result in adding additional redundant measures. You have obviously face some criticism as a result of posting this video and probably knew that going into it- so I appreciate you doing so as it will help others so long as they are in tune to it. FYI, I remember the day Austin and Perry tragically went to sea. I was headed back home from the Boca area at the EXACT time that weather came out of the west and crossed over I95. It was so bad I had to pull over. I couldn't see passed the hood of my truck; even with traffic idling on the highway. I couldn't imagine having been off shore....
I'm new to boating and your post was very helpful.
Mr that was super cell no storm just destruction 😥😥😥😥😥😥💥💥💥💥💥
I am glad you made it safely back to shore...and I hope you two stay safe...
Holy crap!!! Glad you guys are ok though
I was out a couple weeks ago and that happened to me, if it wasn't for the compass and my electronics it would have been a mess. It was like being in a washing machine. NO MATTER WHAT ALWAYS STAY WITH THE BOAT!!!!
We in the Pacific have TWO engines. One for regular use and one powerful GTFO engine. My gtandpa built his own sail boat and he taught me so many things. even his sail boat had a this powerful primary engine and an uber GTFO engine. I remember just coming out of the Straights of Juanda Fuca (regular ocean changes) was difficult. I cant even imagine you two in the pickle you were in. I am overjoyed you all were ok. The power of water is no joke. same goes for inland waters too. Be safe and get your GTFO ENGINE TODAY
Been there, done that. Electric storms all around, lines buzzing, electricity shocking us, dropping my rod and reel into the ocean when I got shocked. We were blessed to survive!
The ocean can be unrelenting and scary in the blink of an eye, glad you guys are cool. I always walk people through safety procedures before leaving and now also carry clear safety glasses on my boat for the rain that belts you in the eyes whilst running back in. Some of those safety procedures are no smoking.. lol.. some unhappy campers on my boat.
Endless Weekend no smoking ? You pilot a 12' dingy?
i'm not joking in the beginning of this video it was pouring rain and thundering, at the end of the video it's sunny outside
flogrown ethan cowboy r u blind it was pouring the entire video
flogrown ethan cowboy r,rly
It almost feels like we watched the same video.
A fucking master from stating the facts.
Yakity, yakity, yak. So it was a storm...it's a daily thing in Florida. Novices.
Yeah that storm is called a supercell storm and comes with hail,loads of rain, intense wind, and supercell storms do pick up fast and there rare. Nice catch👍🏻👍🏻
waterspouts too!!! One could be rain wrapped and you wouldn't know it until you hit the whirling solid wall of water at the bottom
A good lesson on preparation and following your instincts. The second I saw the storm in the video I thought " cut and run man, 15 minutes at 40 mph...... you would have made it in 8 minutes. No judgement, I'm not perfect, good lesson, good post
Buy a PLB personal locater beacon. Costs 250 or so. When activated it will give search n rescue personal your lat.long. position Keep your life jackets on with the locater in the pocket.. a decent handheld radio w built in GPS is a good thing as well. Has a 4 to 6 mile range where I live in the great lakes region. I'm qualified boat crew in the USCG Aux and we are issued a plb locater, flashing stobe light .knife.whistle ,and signal mirror in our vest which we are required to wear when underway. Some advance planning on your gear is always a good idea when near shore or off shore.
Ships and boats aren’t made for the harbor folks... man up. Get your life jackets on, put that v hull intro the waves
BigView TV ..... Hooray.... Spoken like a True mariner.... now be sure to offer your boat as a 'chase boat' for your area sail clubs and fleets. You'll have a blast, learn a lot and be befriended by some excellent sailors.
Glad your safe ,,Thanks for the video!!
damn good vid..more folks should see these types of vids..good job an glad yall made it..
Had a similar experience in a 40 footer where glass calm turned to 50mph and we were 90 miles offshore wave built to 9 feet and the first time I have ever seen a rod fall out of the holder we were so close to pulling the epirb and I'll tell ya a 40 footer is not as great in waves over your head coming from the side Stay safe guys

Landshark Fishing RIP Austin and Perry won't be forgotten
Airborne Fishing danggg
That's the trick of the sea my friend, the best fishing happens right before the worst of storms. It'll tempt you to stay & fish while death waves roll in.
If the fishing is too good its time to go
Weather alert on your radio!! Always keep an eye to the sky . Dont ever go out in the summer until you have knowledge of the weather patterns for that day.. Especially in Florida when its been smokin hot all day.. That's a lot of energy that's been produced and it has to release sometime..
Dude idc about your commentary we know you do not know anything about being a good captain/sailor
Asshole shut the fuck up and stoip being a dick...it's you that no one don't gives a fuck about!
Rocky Alvarez dude chill lol
@@rockyalvarez520 This legitimately made me laugh, didn't even read it before

Haha rocky a dumb fuck
“Pan pan” call is a great idea so the coast guard knows what’s up
This reminds me of the time my dad and I were tarpon fishing off the coast of St Augustine. My dad was hooked up with a freight train of a fish, and it took him about 20 minutes or so to fight it. In those 20 minutes, the sky went from a bit cloudy to black. This storm rolled up on us with fury. Right as my dad tipped the leader, we cut loose and bugged out, but it was too late. The rain was torrential and the lightning was constant; it was within a mile in all directions. Mind you we were 200 yards offshore, but we were in a 21-foot bay boat in 6-8 foot seas and 20-30 knot winds. I just held on and rode it out for the few minutes it took to get back into the inlet. The estuary was a raging mess, though. Where the river meets the ocean, the currents are insane, especially in St Augustine, and that means you can have waves of any height in any direction. It's chaos! After a few close calls, we made it through and of course just as we pulled up to the ramp, the weather started to break. That's Florida for you.
Lucky no waterspout.
Glad y’all are safe!
So there is one piece of advice I will add. On my boat every life vest we have equipped an epirb. They make a small personal epirb that is extremely affordable. I carry mine with me even on friends boats. We also have another in a ditch bag. People think I'm crazy for carrying up to 8 epirbs on my boat but at the end of the day nothing matters if mother ocean claims you.stay safe on the water love y'alls videos
Cool to know, never knew of those.
tf were 2 toddlers doing on a boat in the first place without a parent or guardian?
Austin Prosser growing up on east coast of florida the kids become watermen at a young age , so its kind of the norm to see young people on boats by themselves!
Austin Prosser and no life preservers either
Austin Prosser fishing
And they were 14, not toddlers.
FootballFanatic your too dumn to comment here Shirlock
Also as someone who chases storms...you can very easily determine the direction a storm is moving. It may wobble a little but unless there’s a major wind shift it’ll probably maintain it’s heading and speed.
Look at that supercell, amazing storm
Scary when that happens Iv had that happen here in Texas but I was only a mile and a half offshore in a kayak fishing a rig for kings and cobia, I'm glad y'all made it back safe.
“I was so scared” then why are you smiling in the video?
Bobby Bancroft Some people laugh when they are scared
Cause shes not in a near death storm anymore?? dumb question
are you just dumb or joking?
Nervous scared
Because she isn't scared any more moron
I am just glad you all were ok.
John the fisherman would be playing on repeat in my head.
Looks pretty visible to me and you guys don't look worried at all...

This was the 2nd video of Brook’s I watched . Love both of y’all’s channels !!
This happened to me yesterday when we were tubing, we were in a bay so it wasn't quite as serious as your story but the lighting in all directions with black clouds overhead is downright terrifying!
