This is likely off topic on all boats list but it's also on topic if
your off the Columbia river and want to come in.

This video is of commercial fishing boats coming back from fishing out
off the coast of Washington & Oregon.
They are crossing the Columbia Bar, which is where the Columbia River
meets the Pacific Ocean.
This is where the Columbia River meets up with the Pacific Ocean. This
is designated as one of the most dangerous
ports of entry anywhere in the world. There are at least 8 to 10 deaths
per year with dumb ass people trying to get in or out
in boats that are not made for this kind of severe beating that you see
these boats going through. These boats are
self-righting, super low center of gravity, sealed engine compartments,
basically bullet proof glass windows, double steel
hulls. Well, you get the idea. They are commercial shrimp and fishing
boats. I have actually seen it so bad that the Coast
Guard has closed it due to waves of 35 to 45 foot. It is quite a sight
to see. Watch the U-tube video and tell me if you would
like to have been a crew member on either of these 2 boats
