No, not at all. I'm standing next to you saying "huh?, how did that happen?" And then following up with "why did that happen? How can I prevent that / avoid that when I'm out there with my family?" Just as you posted.
As with all the other comments:
- intentionally done
- not a rogue wave
- must be a wake ( yet no other waves in sight? )
- flat lake conditions
- tight camera angle / frame doesn't give the full picture of what's happening
- passenger turns & appears to brace
- celebratory wave to the onlookers
So what happened next?
- did the engine die out, could it still be able to run getting air and providing spark?
- is the battery bank able to power the bilge pumps
- can the bilge pump run long enough to toss enough water out to navigate the boat if its still running.
- how long would you need to pump manually to empty that boat?
- do friends pull along side and lend potable pumps?
- you couldn't winch that baby onto a trailer, so it'd need to be a float on trailer
- better have a really stout tow vehicle and a great ramp
- how long does it take for the boat to dry out?
- how good is your mechanic with intermittent electrical issues?
And in conclusion, this certainly fits at least 2 out of 3, maybe 3 fer 3: Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest!
