    You guys must have crossed over into fresh water as it looks like you're setting down in the water more than before you crossed the bar. People here on the western coast of the USA are sponsoning & lengthening boats like yours. 3 or 4 feet on each side makes a huge difference in weight carrying/stability.
    I liked the way the scuppers took care of the water initially, but when it started coming over the bulwarks, that made me nervous!(:>)
    Anyway, it was a good video that people associated with the sea can appreciate.

      +Reg Pettinger yeah true mate, but greymouth would b the most deadly bar in the world, if u have a big rain storm the water could travle 200km through the opening creating an uncrossible bar in any size boat.

    There have been many boats that have become wrecked over the years crossing the Greymouth bar, Tragically there have been lives lost coming in over this bar including a cousin of my Dads in 1990

    Nice footage! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.

    The biggest lesson here is - if you know what's good for you, you will never complain about the price of fishnchips in Greymouth!

    • @tip397
      @tip397 Před rokem

      Really? Huge money for dried out, freezer burned shitty old shark! The local fish is not even 1% of the catch. How about the good days when the swell is low? any reduction in fish price? I call bullshit. Not to many broke skippers on the coast & you know it.

      All boats are in training to become submarines. Thankfully very few graduate.

    Pretty freaky sh4t, Fishing out of St.Helens Barway, Tasmania, Australia in the 80s before they built the extended spit-way was a dangerous place to be a lot of the time going to work and coming home. Too rough sometimes and crossing was not an option, worst part was it was too shallow at a couple of places and touching hard in even a moderate sea would more than likely see you sideways and up sh4t creek and upside down in that sh4t creek!
