Lots of give and take.

Run down the face of the wave and slide back down the backside.

Been there and done that crossing the Humboldt bay bar in Eureka Ca.. also the Coos bay bar at Charleston Or. with a load of crab pots in a 27’ boat. Fun trip sometimes.

Coming in inlets can be hazardous.. must know what your doin’.. -and/OR- be lucky..

I crossed the Columbia Bar two weeks ago...in a cruise ship.

Look, if you can’t cross the bar without capsizing, it’s time to call a taxi.

Stout little boat.
Running down the face of a heavy following sea is an instinctual art.

Hell of a skipper!

And to think that I used to go out into the Gulf of Mexico in a 12-foot, aluminum flatboat! ;-)

Reminds me of 30 years ago and a few anxious moments coming through to Potato Patch outside the Golden gate.

My boat was a little bigger, but still.

Crossing the Bar is a poem that Lord Tennyson had put on his gravestone.

Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
