Crossing the Tillamook Bay Bar 12-30-23

The local crab fishing fleet from Garibaldi on Tillamook Bay has to brave one of the most dangerous bar crossings on the West Coast. The Crab season was opening, so the boats dropped pots in advance so they could catch crabs and be ready to be pulled when the season opened, so they made many trips hauling pots out to sea. They have to go out whenever they can even if it means rough conditions.
Tillamook Bay is located on the Northern Oregon Coast.
