The first 60 seconds of this video are truly frightening.....

A total idiot of a Captain who takes on Haulover inlet with people sitting in the bow of the boat. He doesn´t even stop or turn when she falls out
As I spend the winters in Ft Lauderdale/Pompano Beach I´ve been to this inlet many times both by boat and also by car to just watch
It´s rough even when its not windy or such and if you have no experince of an inlet with tide water current you will get surprised and most likely hit hard
Once this winter I entered the inlet in my Chris Craft 20 Speedster. The ocean was pretty calm so no waves to think about
A 55 footer is on it´s way out doing approximately 12-15 knots which normally means pretty big waves but nothing to worry about
How ever with the fast current due to the tide the waves became huge and odd

So keep close to the rocks/sides where the current is slower, trim and give the boat a little speed to get the bow up. Really slow is never good

Just goes to show if you got a trump flag you don't need a life jacket

The first vid the flag is Formula's. I am guessing son took dad's boat out and was more interested in the boat's life and subsequently his own, than the girl's. Shocking to watch him scoot off.
