My Version of Fun Captured on Camera

This isn't a recording of my wild teenage years--those were much crazier. It's a short recording of how I tow the Whaler behind the bigger boat to the Cape and use to explore and have fun:

GOING THROUGH "THE SHOOT"
I first did this with my dad 42-years ago in an eight-foot homemade rowboat with a small outboard. I have been going back ever since. My kids (and the group we cruise with) love riding the flume, and we shuttle them back ten or more times before they're ready for something different. Water under the bridge is about ten feet deep, so there is a lot of water moving.

Next we go through "The Shoot" with the current to pick up the kids. That's my daughter with the drama.

What is the range of the tide in the area you show in the videos? It looks like quite a ripping current that drags that buoy almost all the way under.
