Last night we were camping at Cape Disappointment State Park where there was a Gale Warning. During the storm we head a Coast Guard helicopter flying low over the waves but could not see much. Turns out some yahoo stole a fair sized boat and headed over the bar and called the Coast Guard. Pretty soon he got sideways to the surf capsized and rolled it a few times. The boat was lost but a young Coast Guard surf diver pulled his ass out of the drink. Earlier he left a dead fish on the porch of the Goonies House in Astoria. Coast Guard let him go but was picked up at a warming center in Seaside. IMO he should be keel hauled under a Battleship.

I had seen these videos earlier today. The Columbia Bar is famous for violent waves. Many ships have wrecked along here over the years since trade and travel increased in the early 19th century. Often ships have had to wait for days to make the crossing. And that guy picked a gale to make his trip across. Genius...
Malachai you so often are in the right place at the right time. You really have a knack for this. haha ~z
The one and only time I went over the Columbia river bar was salmon fishing with family...I barfed my guts out.
" come fishing with us Mike! It'll be fun! "
