Any bar has the possibility of being like this, most close access to conditions this dangerous so you dont get many videos from them, many larger rivers bars are much farther from shore too, cant really see columbia bar like this from shore
We got into some lumpy seas sailing Hawaii to LA. Down below no one was thinking of food. On deck the second skipper (60,000 miles? ) was steering with his toes, swishing Vienna Sausages in mustard and washing them down with a Budweiser. I'm not drinking now, but I'd be honored to crew on any boat he ran.
Now who said that fishing was not among the most dangerous work in the world ? These people are out when any pleasure boat (even big sailing yachts with a tough experienced crew) stay in port. These people deserve all our admiration.
I like the guy at 2:10, with the window open... kickin' back like that was just another day at the office. LOL Now THAT is what you call a bad-azz seaman.
Helmsman of 8876 definitely wins the King of Cool Award - at 2:05 steering with right elbow casually on windowsill as if driving his truck down a quiet highway on a sunny day. An amazing video of guys with terrific seamanship skill. Our local bar can be a pretty scary place with onshore winds but this stuff makes it look like a kids' playpool. Sorry bubndybear 69 - just spotted your comment as I scanned down comment list. Didn't mean to upstage you. Vid deserves both (and more!) comments.
I've watched vessels coming across the bars from California's North Coast, to the Columbia River. This shit is a stay at home and repair gear day. Those Kiwis bust some ass. Between they and the Aussies, they make Russians and Americans look weak....DAMN!
My first trip after getting my second mate foreign going certificate was on the MV Konini, sometime in 1968. She was owned by USSCo and was on the coal run from Greymouth to Wellington. My duty after letting go when leaving port, was to stand by the whistle lanyard and sound it if we touched bottom on the way out, likewise on the way in. The Harbourmaster watched our entry and exit and calculated our position if the whistle was sounded (all proper nautical terms by the way). The bar was never stationary but moved according to the weather, and the port authorities liked to know where it was. There was never any doubt if we did touch - the ship paused as it touched the sandbank and all the attachments such as masts, accommodation, funnel, objected to the strain placed upon them. In other words, the hull was slowed almost immediately while those parts that were joined to the hull but above it, wanted to keep on going at the same speed. It's all very simple and to do with "levers". The ship's radio aerial which was attached to the foremast, was left slack during the crossing as it would most likely part as the mast bent. That was a long time ago. I sailed with them for another 2 or 3 years and moved on, but another memory that remains from that period is that it was a commonly held belief amongst the officers that the Inter-Island ferries had to arrive on time or as near to it as humanly possible. If the Master in his wisdom deemed that entering Wellington Harbour was against all his nautical instincts due to extreme weather, and loitered in (more) sheltered waters waiting for it to break, the time spent waiting was probably best utilised in packing his bags, as his next voyage would be on something like the "Konini". It was understood that he would be replaced - Company policy! It may not have been an official policy, but more an empirical one where one watched, listened and learnt. If anyone has ever wondered why the "Wahine" tried to enter Wellington Harbour in such atrocious conditions yet failed in its attempt, here may lie the answer. Lane White
I was 3rd engineer on same ship around that time and did hit the bar outbound took a 35mm movie of happening from boat deck, the locals must have known something about the lift on bar. as they were quite a few lined up watching from the breakwater. and new we hit as the ships horn was sounded. soon after that was below on watch and spent the next 4hrs after testing steering then sounding all tanks at intervals for any damage all was ok.Another incedent was in port alongside and early morning the ship was lifting and shaking looked out port toward Inugahua to see powerlines clashing and arcing was that an earthquake was the cause at daybreak all was revealed. one side of main street all glass and buildings damage was told wharf crane tetered and almost fell ocross the ship. never dull at sea. Phil Gibson
It,s no big deal. I spent all my working life doing it. I made a Hellava lot of money at it BUT I never felt like a ROCK star. P S Sometimes I LOVED it. Sometimes I FOURKIN hated it.
I disagree that the boats nearly capsized. They are fishing and they know exactly what they are doing. Tricky waters for the ameteur - definitely 'Yes', but, these are professionals amd they know what they are doing. There is a world of difference.
Total bullshit .They risked their crews lives .This was abnormal run out tide with massive pressure waves due to heavy rains and flooding .They should have stayed out to sea for 25 hours .They entered when bar was closed .Should lose their licence to operate commercial boats and Fishing licence. .
I was born in Greymouth, and have seem many Bar crossings like this over the years,, I also witnessed many sinking's and some deaths at the hands of the storms and Bar conditions..
Respect that skill, those conditions were some of the most dangerous situations you can be in a boat, curious what the water depth is there. To think I was once paranoid about oregon inlet. Might not work pretty but those stabilizers do work.
I think those boats performed very, *VERY* well considering there was water meeting from opposite directions. They weren't sinking. As long as the one way valves kept water moving off deck and bilge pumps draining water from below decks they were mostly at risk for a bout of barfing for a bit. I've only been in bar crossings with similar waters two times. During one of those crossings, my fishing partner was driving (his boat) that had *two* big block GM engines, pumping out about 1400hp combined. Even though his boat is only 28 foot that thing sat still a few times at wide open throttle to both engines. He was not as experienced as I was at the time, and tried stepping aside asking me to take the helm. I said no. It was his boat and lack of studying the conditions that got us there. And I wanted him to build on his skillset. It still sucked.
Commentary indicated boats top speed is 8 knots. The river current it was heading into 10 knots. It looks like they got a bit of extra speed going downhill.
Not really - it's purely a safety issue - should he have capsized." The "arm-out" grasping with whitened knuckles - the edge of the window frame - is to ensure he knows where the escape hatch is, should the boat "go-over" in such muddy waters as visibility underwater in those conditions (whilst being upside down as well) needs an "arm-out" and a good hold of the framing.
Looks like the river might have had a lot of rain / dropping tide. Probably not the fastest boats either. Its a shit of a spot. Went surfing there once and was about a mile down the coast in 10 minutes. LOL.
Looks like business as usual. The engines aren’t working hard. I’m not saying I’d want to do it, I’m not a fisherman. These guys do this for a living. Props to em.
A bar (especially the Grey river mouth) is where the river slows down as it reaches the sea and a lot of the material such as shingle, gravel, sand and mud drops out of suspension. If it dries out at low tide, it is usually called a "spit". So offshore, you have the ocean bottom, upriver the channel is usually scoured clean, but at the transition there is part where the water is shallower. Often there is a deeper channel through the bar, but not always; and that channel doesn't always stay in the same place. The "locals" keep track of where the channel is, but sometimes a single flood can move it a lot.
Amazing how these small boats take the swell and the tide in their stride.There is not much you can do in this situation.Keep the engine full ahead and try not to go broadside which you can't stop anyway.
Robert Livingston no no no lad the boat wont sink in that . That's a wee swimming pool compared to the places iv been . One time caught in 200 foot waves and all the crew blew each other off . In the end we was ok but it left a slaty taste in everyones mouth
The river current carries water borne silt and sand etc as it meets ther sea the current slows and eventually the suspended particles drop to the bottom and form the shallow pan known as a Bar.
Thomas Pasman I believe it’s because they crossed the bar when the blue light was on which prohibits boats from entering. They should have waited out at sea for it to change however that would have meant wasting their entire catch.
Old school Capt. Had a friend on Columbia river Washington who had been river pilot Mékong 68 69 and was a ol school. Lost it on Columbia bar 1976 when 15 perished. Sad day for world. Don't run bars when tides coming in your gonna get smashed
you have to know your area and these guys do, in my area years ago some new guys came and got a fishing boat and tried to come in in real bad weather, in a sand bar estuary like this, all were drowned they did not take any advice from local boats and no one else was out that time.
Cool as fk skipper and I love the way the deck hand repositions the deck chair a few inches to put it back where it was.😬Yet Joe public moan about the cost of fish! If only they realised.
Hi Suzy, it’s the Greymouth river bar, in the South Island of New Zealand. It’s not usually this brown! I think the stormy weather dredged up the silt.

Being those hazard warnings - placed at river mouths with bar crossing & adverse river flow alarm warning lights THAT IS NOT A PROSECUTION _ but a stern warning.

Yes I've been over that Bar and Boy it's the scary Bar alright great respect to the Skippers who cross it they are working up a sweat right there they sure deserve a cold Beer when they dock
a bar is where there is a deep bit that goes shallow and then deep again creating big waves and the reason the waves are so big is because there is the tide running out but the waves want to go for wed and shit goes down
Dear Everybody, feel free to download and distribute this footage, regardless of his licensed/copyrighted/permission blurb. This uploader is the guy who "didn't deliberately" record the New Zealand Prime Minister having a private conversation. He then proceeded to distribute the recording of the private conversation, knowing full well it was private. Bradley is not a man worthy of respect.
Kudos to engineering company that built d vessel for her strong stability nd good buoyancy, the problem with the rough water is that nobody nd no advance technology knows the time it’s taken place
the Fraser River entrance is like that when the wind opposes the current, many ships capsize there. I have been in rough water like that, and I am cured! No more of that shite 4 me.
When it's bad weather, the guys wait until it's high tide on the Grey, otherwise ther's a real risk of grounding on the bar in the troughs. Not to mention the really heavy breaking surf.
Love the man chatting in the background…..typical west coaster….real chill!
The calmness in this mans voice says alot!

Current and waves in opposition, and or shallow water, a large amount of water being pushed through narrow inlet.
Title should be changed. its actually the Grey River. Greymouth is the name of the town at the mouth of the Grey River.
Amazing how these small boats take the swell and the tide in their stride.There is not much you can do in this situation.Keep the engine full ahead and try not to go broadside which you can't stop anyway.
You really feel the pressure waves tearing at the hull when you are crossing that bar. Westport bar isn't quite as bad.
Can't believe the boat doesn't sink from being over loaded with giant balls.
Robert Livingston no no no lad the boat wont sink in that . That's a wee swimming pool compared to the places iv been . One time caught in 200 foot waves and all the crew blew each other off . In the end we was ok but it left a slaty taste in everyones mouth

that is on a good day
Seriously!?!?
Hollllleeeee SHIT!
the Fraser River entrance is like that when the wind opposes the current, many ships capsize there. I have been in rough water like that, and I am cured! No more of that shite 4 me.
This boat must be returning from a fishing trip and encounter low tide and high sea at the river mouth.
Heavy rain had made the river flow strongly. Not so unusual there.
When it's bad weather, the guys wait until it's high tide on the Grey, otherwise ther's a real risk of grounding on the bar in the troughs. Not to mention the really heavy breaking surf.
My little boat would not survive this bar. Worst one yet!
