Chilling and true last words “ If you don’t learn from your mistakes the sea will take you" Unfortunately sometimes she takes you without giving you a chance to learn from your mistakes and the worst part is sometimes you can do everything right , and she still takes you.
Obviously the grey mouth bar is dangerous but the Manukau bar is dangerous in a different way, from my experiences, i noticed when the tides coming in the waves are short and pointed and they leap up towards the bow quickly , and also the water under the boat dissapears and the boat falls a couple meters , but when you get right on the sweet spot on the bar the waves are leaping up in the air on the spot and bouncing off each other from the sides , its like the water in a bucket if you were jogging with a bucket of water, rather freaky are kind of frightning , because it moves unlike any sea conditions you've been in, and when the tides going out theres 15 foot waves sitting there in one spot rolling , rows and rows of them, and when we went over the bar on these occasions it was super calm in the harbor and out at sea, there were huge long swells out at sea though , they took like 6 seconds to go by and when you were in the trough you couldn't see the manukau heads hills, the depth went from 32 meters to 18 when the waves went by,

NEVER LET IT SURF. If you can't stay on the back side of the swell, do what he ended up doing in the end. Wait off shore.
Too much yappin not enough ACTION!
I love it that part 1 starts in part 2 :-)
what do they mean when they say bar? Do they mean like a sand bar? A shallow place in the sea?
Yes
