I grew up on "powerboats/private fishingboats" operating through New Jersey Ocean Inlets and have been in/out of all of them at one time or other. The conditions in the video while not common .... do occur often enough. And sometimes nature just turns against you and you find yourself off-shore ... late in the day w/ fading light ... and the fuel guages are telling you that your fuel is limited. Hopefully you are familiar w/ the inlet ... so you develope your plan ... you explain it to everyone on board ... everyone puts on their life jackets and find a good hand-hold .... you get lined up w/ the inlet .... you study the wave sets, hopefully being able to follow a large set in .... and then comes the moment of NO RETURN .... you grab the throttle(s) .... say a prayer .... and put the hammer(s) down ... giving it all the boat has got ....
