Really Moe...A couple men trying to do something for a great cause incur a bit of poor visibility during their run...clearly as you can see by the video it was on them immediately, you have to make comments of stupidity. Lets see what your next great adventure is for a good cause. There are times to keep your mouth shut and for you this is one of them...
148mph in 50-100' visibility is really OK? Travelling at 217ft/sec when you can only see 0.25 - 0.5 seconds of travel distance? boating towards a wall of fog and not having a SOP on cutting speed when visibility is less than a suitable distance (AT LEAST 200 yards) to avoid anything you come across, including BIG NAVIGATION BUOYS, THAT ARE DESIGNED TO BE ABLE TO BE SEEN? Did he get a personalised forecast that morning, warning of fog? If not, why not?
There are no accidents. There are only crashes. Human error, mechanical failure, health issues. Neither mechanical failure nor health issues were a factor here. Only human error.
Dumb dumb dumb is stil dumb dumb dumb.

Just because it's for a good cause doesn't make being dumber than a pile of rocks anything more special than being dumber than a pile of rocks.

As you know in the marine environment forecasts are Sh!t. They don't know what's happening 10 minutes from now.

As mentioned keep your comments to yourself. Hind sight is always 20/20 Mr MONDAY morning quarterback. It looks like they took all the precautions to be safe including a plane flying over top.

Rule 6 - Safe Speed
Every vessel shall at all times proceed at a safe speed so that she can take proper and effective action to avoid collision and be stopped within a distance appropriate to the prevailing circumstances and conditions. In determining a safe speed the following factors shall be among those taken into account:
(a) By all vessels:
(i) The state of visibility;
(ii) The traffic density including concentrations of fishing vessels or any other vessels;
(iii) The manageability of the vessel with special reference to stopping distance and turning ability in the prevailing conditions;
(iv) At night, the presence of background light such as from shore lights or from back scatter from her own lights;
(v) The state of wind, sea and current, and the proximity of navigational hazards;
(vi) The draft in relation to the available depth of water.

you do realize you are on offshoreonly. a performance boating forum where going fast, taking risks, and adrenaline is a lifestyle. Ask your question to 10 members on here and I bet 9 say yes...you don't like taking risks or going fast maybe you should find another sport/hobby. Or live in a bubble. I heard Ebola is on the rise again!!!
