The women were protecting their own; the children on the boat. I can't fault them for that; as I'd have high tailed out of there as well.
I've boated in that channel on big weekends before. The congestion, confusion, ineptness, an overall chaos is practically indescribable. There is a current, as well as the breeze. There are people in the water, and so much noise from music, loudmouths, and motors; you can't even hear yourself think.

I don't think being all jacked up overreacting is the proper way to protect their children. While this was a bad situation the last thing anyone needed to do was get their vessel underway in the middle of that chaos. "Keep Calm and Carry On"

If on the beach, that was the safest place to be; and far up it at that. Screw the boat at that point.
However, if underway, as in the first video; I would have gotten the hell out of there--as fast as traffic would have allowed. Heck, I don't even think I would have ventured in there with those kids aboard; as it's not a scene for them.

Fair point, and I should clarify/quantify...

In the second video you can clearly see he didn't even have a spotter on the stern!!! -wtf and he's not even looking back when he slams the boat on shore....i dont even back my trailer up on a crowded ramp w/o a spotter.
I saw this same thing happen at a hot rod show with a motor home.......but the cops didn't get ther 'til after a brawl broke out and a more exp. Driver got the r/v out without further damage....can say the same for the driver ......yes it was a rental.
