Upside down, inside out in the SURF. Smashing Breakers to Bits at Columbia River Bar. Most footage in Clatsop Spit, south side of the channel. Original material from USCG Motor Lifeboat School, URL http://tinyurl.com/2 bw8ut .Commented by myself.
Sause Bros Tug with 2 barges headed for sea, Columbia River. Tow line of second barge is below and passes directly underneath the first barge. Towline sag prevents the the line from snagging.
Shot near the Cape on Friday afternoon, middle of May 2007. Winds 30, gusting 45 knots, turned around when the breakers began to reach 6-8 feet high. Boat was a 43' Hatteras Sportfisherman. Research ship Wecoma nearby, reported steady 40 knots. Can't see in the video but it looked like maybe gusting 50-60 up near the Cape.
