    I love the armchair crowd telling the boat owners what to do from the comfort of standing on the shore watching it unfold.

      Looked like only few boats out of dozen had anchors deployed. Did they not anticipate tides?

        I can't figure out how they let it get this bad. We've had anchors drag in a raft up multiple times, or a storm come up. Just one or two boats can actually move 10-15 rafted boats pretty effectively, albeit slowly. All someone had to do was fire up an engine and put it in forward idle.

          Yea, I think that they had a lot of 'DUH' going on there!

                  Did I hear that guy say the rip current "...goes 18 knots in here.."?

                  Even if it wasn't that bad during their incident, it seems a bit embellished?

                    We had to anchor the USCGC Mustang in Cook Inlet Alaska once to recover bodies and crypto gear from a Naval aircraft crash in Tuxedni Bay.

                    The tides were running over 9 knots and we were able to turn on the stabilizer fins which is amazing to do at anchor.

                    I don't think those were 18 kt rips but they sure look quicker than where I would drop the hook.

                        If I had to boat like that, I would burn my boat and walk away, what a nightmare, I think the word for that nightmare is stupid.

                          Crazy and intense. Yes a few more hooks dropped look like would have made a huge difference.

                            Dumb and Dumber; I would have thought with the machinery out there that somebody would of had more brains to keep it (their own secure) from drifting. These people would be great out on the big water with 8-10knot and 13-22ft tides.

                              They probably had about a 2 or 3 to 1 scope with their 3/8 or 1/2 inch rode
