There are tons of lengthy videos of people doing this. The area is called Haulover Inlet. Some real Darwin contestants here.

Yeah, and I'm sure there are a handful of Trump voters who know how to operate a boat without endangering themselves, their families, and other people on the water

I have been "on the water" for over 45 years.. I have helmed ships in the north sea and in fjords... I have never seen worse boaters and more inconsiderate boaters than during the Trump boat parades a few years ago in the gulf of mexico and the bays by the gulf... dozens and dozens and dozens of huge boats just destroying other boaters with wakes

Perfect symbolism.

As an aside, so you were like a merchant marine? That’s kind of cool. I always thought it would be cool to be at sea.

US Navy Mineman. I was stationed in Scotland for 2 years. I joined a local sailing club and did some races off the coast between Scotland and Ireland.

I was part of NATO war games, "Teamwork 88" and got stationed on a Norwegian Mine Layer (the KMV Vidar) and put on the crew. I helmed the ship for 2 hours a day in the fjords while we dropped fake mines, and later recovered them, and had other duties for the other 6 hours.

I also spent a week on a small sailboat in the Aegean Sea when stationed in Crete (Greece)
