Chief 706 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Just received this....This video is of commercial fishing boats coming back from fishing out off the coast of Washington & Oregon. They are crossing the Columbia Bar, which is where the Columbia river meets the Pacific Ocean.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByGSMmenPDMThis is where the Columbia River meets up with the Pacific Ocean. This is designated as one of the most dangerous ports of entry anywhere in the world. There are at least 8 to 10 deaths per year with dumb ass people trying to get in or out in boats that are not made for this kind of severe beating that you see these boats going through. These boats are self righting, super low center of gravity, sealed engine compartments, basically bullet proof glass windows, double steel hulls. Well, you get the idea. They are commercial shrimp and fishing boats. I have actually seen it so bad that the Coast Guard has closed it due to waves of 35 to 45 foot. It is quite a sight to see. Watch the U-tube video and tell me if you would like to have been a crew member on either of these 2 boats. 4THALOVE, Moggy23, urhookedfish and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
