    Didn't even spill his coffee. Great skills, has to protect his crew & himself, the boat and the catch, in that order. Great job.

    Great hull design there, and very stout rudder and steering gear, not to mention skippers competence.

    The first wee ride was not as bad as the second surf. Not much one can do except go along with it and hope it doesn't get to close to the wall on the left side. Probably the highlight of their day. Good seamanship all around.

      It's a bit of an illusion there. They're quite a distance from the wall behind them, thankfully. You're absolutely right though about the good skippering.

      The fishing Boats haven’t got the speed of the smaller Boats. They just have to commit . Hopefully big one doesn’t come behind them😬

      @@westcoastrippers9862 the Hauraki gulf can get pretty rough, I've been out in horrible conditions, but different to the Greymouth bar. It looks like it sucks you in, then kicks you in the arse

      @Thinkbeforeyoureply 3 месяца назад +1

      @@jimpeers4852 I think that's a fair description. The tide was high here but sometimes the water from the river and the sea conspire to lower at the bar as a big-arsed set are coming up the rear. If there's been big rain in the high country, you also have to play "dodge the logs", as well.

    How many lives have been lost over the years with boats over turning.
    Just curious as it looks dangerous

    • @westcoastrippers9862
      @westcoastrippers9862  2 месяца назад

      Over the last 30 years ten boats have capsized on the Greymouth bar which has resulted in the tragic lost of 18 lives.
