About a knot, maybe a knot and a half at peak current and right inside between the rocks. It is considered a safe cut for that reason.
Looking at the video once again, it seems to me that the boat was going too fast approaching the cut and surfing the waves. If you look at the...
There is another video on that same YouTube channel showing underwater footage. It s a single engine boat with a BIG rudder. Like most cuts in...
That would be enough frozen drinks for small cruise ship :)
Something is definitely wrong with this picture. Looks like Dothan Cut, south of Staniel which is a very safe and easy cut even with the current...

Balsa is cheaper than divinicel and bonds a little better
On a 7 year old boat???? I have a few spots like that on my boat but it s 53 years old :)
This is for the 110 I run, owned by the owner’s LLC so I ll get the company manager to sign like I did last time for the 84. I got plenty of sea...
Well yes now I am renewing and have another question… the USCG small vessel sea service form is good for vessels under 200GT. Above that, the...
I have built in gauges on my Flagship chiller and the only issue I ve had in 6 years was a leaking gauge. No big deal but not worth it.
