Here’s a classic video showing fishing boats attempting to cross the Grey River bar during an epic flood. The bar, which located near the city of Greymouth on the northwest coast of New Zealand’s South Island, is notoriously dangerous during flood stages such as this, particularly for those fishing vessels forced to battle the white water in order to reach Greymouth’s port.
No word on if these guys eventually made it across.
wonder if there any similar vidz of boats crossing the bars going into the Oregon Coast rivers?
We actually planned our return to Newport to avoid the “dreaded” Yaquina bay tide and come in on the slack, of course watching us moor anywhere is great entertainment, so it made no difference.
