- F/V Sylvia crosses the Yaquina Bay Bar with USCG escort and a Victory knockdown. These are 18-20 foot swells with 14-16 foot breakers a mile long with the Coast Guard breaking down the waves as the F/V Sylvia crosses the bar at about 6.5 knots.

When the river bars get to this point the USCG 47’s will stay out there as a situation monitor, quick response rescue, and a security blanket for the crews on the boats. God bless em.
I remember this day, heard the calls.on the radio. The Sylvia was experiencing some steering issues if im.not mistaken and that's why the CG was close by.
Was just at the museum in Astoria. USCG is amazing!
Coasties rock. Good demonstration of what some horsepower and maneuverability will do. Camera makes them look closer than they were. But let’s be clear. The skipper of the fishing vessel, who apparently had steering problems, really did a great job here. But that’s what sailors do. Especially sailors who work HERE and in other difficult areas. They know what they’re doing. Actual experts at an actual thing with skills taking years to develop. That rear-guard USCG skipper does a pretty little maneuver right at the end. 😅
I would hope so.
Man the coastguard boat was maneuvering like a champ... hats off to those boys for going out in these conditions, you could not pay me enough. I got nervous watching The Finest Hours.
I loved being stationed at Gray's Harbor in 1977-1978. The rough bar was scary the first time, after my initiation, it was a lot of fun. It learned to trust the 44' and 52' boats in any weather. I lost three friends on the 41332 at Cape Disappointment in 1977 during a training accident.
You knew Dave Wickstrom, my cousin. At that time, I was driving 41s on the Gulf coast.
The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli...
They don't call it the grave yard of the Pacific for nothing. I was on the USCGC Iris stationed out of Astoria and we worked the bouys all up and down the coasts of Washington and Oregon plus a few in northern California. We bumped bottom on the Colombia river bar one night when the waves were breaking jetty to jetty. The next morning fuel oil was leaking out of our ruptured hull. It was off to Seattle for two months of dry dock repairs. Being in the CG was the best thing that ever happened to me because it was one adventure after another. Amazing!
😎🇺🇸🙏THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE IN THE 🇺🇸 USCG !!!
At the beginning the 3rd boat in the background is ahead of some monster wave. That must have been 25-30 feet, it has tossed that boat like a toy at 0:25.... wowww
More impressive that those boats even float with the weight of those massive granite balls behind the wheels
Good job by the Captain of the Sylvia. And a well done to Station Yaquina escorting her in. That was a big ocean that day dropping her so you can see the pilot house. Well done to all.
😎🇺🇸🙏GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD 🙏🧜🏼♂️❤️🤙
A lot of skill demonstrated by all 👏👏
Nobody noticed me on my kayak. The big guys get the glory.
Haha! Sorry I missed it! 🤣
😅😅😅
Does anyone know where the love of god goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
The searchers all say they'd made whitefish bay if they'd put 15 more miles behind her
They might have split up or they might have capsized
They may have broke deep and took water

@Mike K don't know why but that gave me chills haha

To a landlubber like me, the rising seas are threatening enough without the continually breaking wave tops
to add to the hazards of navigating a safe passage. Vivid evidence of how unforgiving the ocean can be
even in proximity to shore.
Not even in proximity to shore but because of proximity to shore. Many vessels have been lost attempting to enter harbour when they'd have been much safrr remaining at sea.
@@atakd Understood. Not least when the ocean meets rising undersea levels that exacerbate
the incoming ocean/tidal conditions. I do recall the accounts of ships staying well away from
coastal waters in unfriendly conditions, certainly a fact of life in the days of sail. Cheers.
The ol 52' got smoked!! Wow! Those boats are still around for a reason! That bar was flat out cookin! Nice job skipper of the fishing boat to get her home safe
didn't even notice that before! good catch.
Classic Westcoast halibut boat, she has probably survived many worse storms in her life.
They all earned their pay this day.
Sylvia reigns supreme in her element. She was designed for this.
Now that is quite a feat, some great boat handling here. That's what you call a nice chop...and then some.
Nice
WOW incredibly dangerous. God Bless the Coast Guardsmen
Reminds me of sailing on the old Clam’n’Time. She was a hell of A ship.
We watched the show Deadliest Catch: Dungeon Cove today, so I had to check out some videos of this crossing. OMG! I've been on a decent size boat, storm came up, swells big enough to block out everything you see except water - but this bar crossing, that's just insanity!! White cap waves that travel for miles end up right there - and many, many boats head right into it!! That's some hard-core fishermen!!
Ahhh! I sure missing filming that! I will be Sharing more behind the scenes from the show soon. We are a commercial fishing family and my heart drops anytime we see these kinds of crossings.
Thanks for checking out my channel!
Would a Defever55, Selene 55, Nordhavn 55 , with the higher deck levels come in through these dangerous waters, with the waves turning the boat.
These fisherman doing this on a reguler basis are pretty strong minded.
Stay safe out there.
The term 'balls of steel' comes to mind...for the pilots on all 3 vessels!!!
The coast guardian angels.
Had more than a few of those, fishing out of Humboldt Bay. Don’t miss that part of fishing at all.
😎🇺🇸🧜🏼♂️AND MAY GOD BLESS ALL SEAMEN SERVING ABOVE & BELOW THE SURFACE 🧜🏼♂️🌊
"The Pacific", they called it....
Those USCG vessels are bad ass.
Those Bars are really actually worse than bad weather
F/V Sylvia is magnificent! Her master knows her well.
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 😢
Then they should raise taxes.
52's were sadly retired a few years ago
Wholly Molly that looks dangerous. I hope the boats belly was full of fish and the trip was profitable.
They function as Bar-Tender.....🤔
The cutter is facing away but keeps getting closer.
You people have lost your mind.
In what way? Those of us talking about going faster than the incoming waves are experienced in navigating sand bar inlets. That can be from not knowing how or not having enough power to equal incoming wave speed.
Can anyone tell me more about that fishing boat? My late uncle had a boat with that name out of Seattle and my late dad fished with him on it-just wondered if it was the same one.
Usually fished out of Newport OR
My late uncle's boat Sylvia was built and originally based in Seattle but they did long-lining up in Alaska mainly halibut fishing but some cod also, then tuna off the coast of WA and OR, etc., after done with halibut fishing in September...
I say that becauseI was stationed in the Coast Guard on the Oregon during the time of this escort. I remember hearing the calls on the radio, and I observed it from land. I was stationed at CG station depoe Bay which was just up the street from Newport where I remember seeing the Sylvia moored
Wow-that is awesome...must've been quite a sight to see! My dad told me a lot of stories of their adventures fishing, and close calls!
jlmckenna10 Do you know who owns the Sylvia now? Just wondering
We use to call this a crappy day
That's an angry ocean.
RESPECT.
Don't miss doing that - though would not have been out there in those conditions!
Sometimes you don't have a choice. Bar crossings can be very tricky and very scary,I used to try to time the tide change, mean slack tide..wait a bit and go for it..sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't, depending on weather conditions, wind, etc. It could be quite a challenge.
A sailboat would have waited for a tide window. I am just wondering if they were full and had to offload fresh. Educate me if I am clueless. Definitely quite a bar crossing. I live in Monterey bay and they time it or don't come in.
That's an ice boat probably needed to unload and it didn't look good offshore either
We had a wicked storm come up that day that wasn’t forecasted to be near as bad as it actually was. The boat had a full load of slime eels and with the weather getting progressively worse, they had to come in.
Good point to wait for a slack tide if the boat can't equal wave speed.
I bet these guys didn’t need any coffee after that one.
just another day at the office
Columbia River Bar is just as dangerous.
Many bars can be like that under the right(wrong) conditions.
Many dangerous bars on planet earth..
I remember this one. Crazy weather for that crossing.
Ain’t nuthin a 170 Montauk won’t cut through
(I am obviously kidding)
This is on a good day
Shipped with the Condor,thru here, made the days catch,or at least Captain Tardewether did,while I was puking my guts
Great video ! Thanks
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. th-cam.com/video/cB8hg0Ie4CE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EWpYQ42MFQslKuDR
Thx for risking your lives to feed us
very nice video😮
And you only get paid if you can make it back to port safely.
100% BALLS OF STEEL Awesome Job.
Wow rough st ever seen in my life Holy cow that wicked
The bar sure was firing that day.
That's crazy, I was scared watching that from dry land.
I watched that boat for hours and it was intense!
Been there, much respect to the Captains and their Crews for truly earning a paycheck.

Fishing boats going through the gates of Hell.
I'm more relaxed while watching horror
Glad to see the Victory getting a workout
Good old girl...it's nice that the CG kept her in this day and age of high tech super boats.
good video❤🎉
Dangerous
It’s like 3 steps forward, 2 steps back.
Jo jeti ha shan sai our azmati ha apna luck jan sai musa8💢🦅🍎
The sea was angry that day my friends,,,,,,
-George Costanza 😁
yaawn...
Crazy. The fishing vessel came across like it was just a walk in the park. Easy peasy - just another day in the office.
The official vessels made it look like something crazy was going on!
They don't pay for deisel nor the vessels, so they all cram on and go for a spin!
Great Video, New Sub, thanks for sharing
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.
Questo è il vero mare!!!!
It a very dungours
Quite seasick from this crossing
Somebody must have read the weather report all wrong to be still out in that crap
Pucker factor #9!
Very top salty dog in the wheel house 😮😮😮😮
Crossed this with Captain Tardewether, of the Condor!
gee I hope he got some fish!
5 crew members on the flying bridge ?? coast guard ?
Correct.
And the problem is?
Nice video
Better them than me!
The amazing 47, undaunted in the worst of conditions
She's a tough old girl
Is fishing out of this port not potentially suicidal ?? That is a crazy way to make a living.
Them Yaquinas must be some dang good skrimps.
Haha! Actually, that’s a boat loaded with hagfish... 😜
A load of old spunkers?
Good looking boat
“Cougar”
wooooow
Huge balls in the wheel house
hi
Cuaca sangat buruk...harusnya jangan melaut dulu...sayangi keluarga..smoga selamat
44' !
Sellotape bit of friggin sponge over the microphone hole
Hot
Serious skills.
Balls of steel.
Waaao
😎🇺🇸We May Have Political Enemies Elsewhere, But Not When You Are Swimming In The Middle Of The Ocean After Sinking
"Political enemies" literally the citizens most like you that the billionares have convinced you that THEY are the ones making you poor deapite not making any more than you by the people people getting twns of millions fron corperate donations and bending over backwards to gjve them handouts upon handouts while they pass out food stamp applications to their employees.. .the amount of handouts and tax breaks for the wealthy is like the ocean where social programs for the poor are like a goldfiah pond.
But you just keep calling E1VERY BIT OF TRUTH "fake news" calling out liars like trump while spreading hate
Its like beimgnin a room with a 100 people...90 are average peopl3 and 8 are fat and of the whole group 2 are trans....the fatties grab 95% of the food snd tell the 90 awrage folks to "watch out, the 2 trans people are gonna try ro steal the 5% of the food thats left for them.....and they fall for it
I'm very happy to see this type of nature.
Awesome , Thanks
Dangerous situation. Well handled.
wah
Amazing vessel and brave fisherman
