Usually they slam the boats far up the beach before starting to run. Why get wet? Makes it harder to run.

Naw, I live in California far from the Mexican border. Very common in Florida for them to find boats on the beaches left behind by illegal immigrants.

This is how you escape...although they should have split and run three different directions.
