I've been to Newport a number of times but have never seen that bar this turbulent! Pretty gut-wrenching. That Sylvia Capt. had his hands full! No doubt he was extremely glad for the CG being nearby!!!
Well that's not the "Columbia river bar" as far as i can tell because that place is around the Columbia river more near Astoria, OR and not down south as it says on the video this is Newport, OR still equally as bad at times.😄🤷 The Columbia River Bar is about 3 miles wide and 6 miles long: The Columbia River Bar is a system of shoals and bars at the mouth of the Columbia River, where it flows between Oregon and Washington. The bar is known as the "Graveyard of the Pacific" because of the many large ships that have sunk there since 1792. The bar is formed by the river's current depositing suspended sediments, which create standing waves. The conditions can change quickly, from calm to dangerous, due to wind and ocean swell. The U.S. Coast Guard often closes the bar to recreational vessels during stormy or winter weather. which is just out from Astoria,OR i used to live there its name is cape disappointment. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cB8hg0Ie4CE.htmlsi=EWpYQ42MFQslKuDR
What most people do not understand here is that a strong outgoing current(river) is pushing against the incoming seas. This causes the seas to grow exponentially and even start to form breakers where the water depths shallow.
@@frankuhler1514 they had been at the bar for many hours and the storm was building. Their only other option was to weather the storm just outside the jetty over another two days which is dangerous with a full load.
The Government commissioned these vessels back when they cared about the fishing industry that 52 footer is one hell of a boat but why is it that they don't build three newer ones to protect the Sea men now well it's because they are not collecting enough taxes of them to care for their lives anymore 😢
I was stationed at Station Yaquina Bay in 77. We still stood 4 on 8 off in the watch tower over by the N. Jetty. We had a lot of SAR calls as there were still fish to be caught. I was assigned to 44300. On every hard SAR call the OinC Senior Chief Sutherland took me along. Master Chief McAdams was OinC when I reported. I was out in some breaking seas of over 30 feet and 50+ knot winds in the MLB Victory. One day my BM2 took me aboard the 25' motor surf boat and took to cast the boat (turn it in its own length). I did on my first try. met my wife through her parent there. We have been married for more than 45 years. I enjoyed my time there. I accepted an over to attend OCS. I did have orders for MLB school at Cape D which changed when I accepted into OCS.
I love this! I met Chief McAdams several times now and I’ve heard so many incredible stories about him! It sounds like an awesome adventure you had! Thank you for sharing!
I did. I had a college degree but learned to follow orders and control my fears when under way in bad storms. I learned what it meant to do my duty and to serve others in dangerous conditions.
NONE OF THE BOATS LOOKED TO BE IN TROUBLE AT ANY TIME .THEY PROBABLY DO THIS OFTEN ENOUGH THAT THEY ALL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO EXPECT AND TO DO . WELL DONE BY ALL
Utter BS. Stay off shore, and heave-to if the bar conditions are shite. Risking everyone’s lives because you’re a self-obsessed wank who needs to hit shoreside immediately is pure and utter BS.
The video is one that could definitely use some explanation or narrative to it. The footage is really good but could be better if someone was talking about what we’re looking at
@@seanmccuen6970 No. Both of these are experts and professionals in their field. They just crossed one of the most dangerous bars in the world without an accident. You would call that a miracle, they call it Tuesday. They do not need the advice of an amateur and their crossing is absolutely perfect.
The coast guard was behind them breaking down the waves so the wave didn’t break across the stern. It’s one of the many tactics they use to assist in dangerous bar crossings.
