The Grey River is not Glacier fed, it is fed by rain fall over a large catchment. The river is in flood, so a storm has dumped a lot of rain in the catchment. Greymouth is my home town.

Looks like a blast. Wish I was there.

This is flood water, the colour is a give away,

Back Achers Homestead The problem is mate that they (the fishermen) get paid f all. It’s the middle men and bloody supermarkets that rake the profits If I can I buy direct from the fisherman markets and I don’t mind paying them handsomely

BRUH LMFAO

I’m a 57 year old grandma and I burst out laughing.🤣🤣

Lol, also it might be overinsured.

Hahahahahahahahaha

He’s a lucky man then. Many are called few are chosen....

Well the wave length isn't long enough to effect a boat that big but I don't think you would even have enough clearance to fit there the water would have to be shallow

Lachlan O'Neil , outgoing tide.....crazy!

If they were struggling against undertow that it means that they were attempting this on the outgoing tide. That is crazy dangerous. Bars should always be negotiated on an incoming tide if possible. The waves and tide run counter to each other on the outgoing, meaning that the waves will stand up and break with much more height and force. An incoming tide runs with the waves, reducing their height and chance of breaking.

@Phil Wilson Exactly.

@@andymanaus1077 the river was in flood after heavy rain.

@@andymanaus1077 that may work on a tidal estuary, not on the Grey after heavy rain with blue light flashing and low on fuel. The low fuel saved them from a fine.

@@whatiswrongwithwhatihadwankers Fair enough. That would explain the bar being closed`.

A hard no

Ya he dose!

Indeed mate, those were 4+ meter waves.

sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the password. I appreciate any help you can give me.

@Brennan Shepherd i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

@Brennan Shepherd It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much you saved my ass!

@Melvin Van Happy to help :D

Levar multa ? E brincadeira uma coisa dessas estão trabalhando é não brincando

Paul Chandler the main reason is because these boats are under powered. Haulover just has bad captains afraid to use their engines. There is a video of a guy in a 19’ Boston whaler flying out the inlet. He is in the air as much as the water, he gets it.

Haulover is because most people don't no how to boat in anything other than flatwater in Florida

@@ericlee8231 yeah. People call it the boating hub, yet nobody there knows how to go boating and they deffinately do not know the rules and courtesy.

@@alias19 I wasn’t comparing at all. Haulover only has problems because of bad captains, not because it’s bad. I was also stating that these boats are so underpowered that they make this even harder.

@@Imwright720 dunno that it's that bad, dude on the bigger boat looks like he's outside having a smoke and a rum as you do.

it's not so much underpowered but the current is roaring out at high rate of speed and these boats are displacement hulls that have top speed of maybe 15 knots.

I was out on a charter boat & the waves were like that one you were on top of the wave the next minute you were looking up at them 😁

Florida man would go lol

Nah,seadoo,without a life vest.

Lol. Or up North, an old Bayliner

Dingy with a barely on unbuckled life vest

Lmao and drink in hand

Yes! 😜😂😂😂👍

sounds like this vid gave you a drinking problem.

I've been in so many absolutely terrifying situations on the water, mostly huge huge waves, and anchor rope tangled around propeller near a Rocky shoreline in the dark and cold with big waves like these, hoping the old 4 pronged inadequate anchor holds and it's 20 meters from the rocks, I've been in sinking boats the bungs weren't in , I've been in a fully swamped boat, wave came right over the bow how we didn't sink I don't know, I've been in a boat that slammed high and dry on wet sand that looked like the rest of the water , I've been in a boat that sunk underneath us and I was only 7, a wooden white row boat , older cousins were being silly rocking the boat, then it just went down like a stone, I'll never forget the sound of all that water gushing in Soo quickly, the worst sound ever when your on a boat, another time we got home and there was no boat or trailer behind the car, the trailer got detached going over a train crossing and luckily the boat and trailer rolled up a soft dirt bank and weren't that badly damaged but still a 17 foot firbreglass boat with an old 80 Mariner on the back, the trailer wheels and axles were broken and the trailer was dragged on its guts 20 kilometers grinding down almost into the hull

How true

Guess you didn't read the description... The bar was closed due to dangerous conditions and they risked the lives of everyone onboard.

@@cptunderpantz9273 The bar is never "closed" there is a warning light to advise conditions may be adverse. Remember the people filming this cruise the country looking for shit like this to report on. They are the media who almost always spice a story up. Also there were no fines issued either!

Yea right? Fished out of Garabaldi in Oregon..they called the causeway entrance "the jaws". Keep yr side poles out and roll in..at trolling speed..pacific storms are something when yr amongst them..fun stuff!

@@46south53 actually, they were in town to film floods from the heavy rain the day before. This was not a typical bar crossing.

Yup. And if this vessel is like mine (and the Orca) the old diesels so not take kindly to wide open throttle. It's a nerve wracking game playing the throttle watching the temp gauge in these situations.

@@KG-sy2vs nerve wracking? Do u take on any water? That is ballsy

@@KG-sy2vs I could only imagine. It would be catastrophic to overheat and loose an engine or both in a situation like this. Those are some massive swells

@@Civiliansoldier762 I own the notorious Groverbuilt 26 that was seaworthy enough to cross the Atlantic back in the 80's. Although the legendary ford Lehman 400CI inline 6cyl diesel is bulletproof, it is always in the back of my mind, the possibility of engine failure going through a rough inlet or while 100 miles off the coast at the canyon. Better have a drift sock ready to deploy or a little kicker on the transom, or you will roll in no time. I have learned that only fools are not intimidated by the sea.

@@lisaann2744 sometimes yes. funny story... I was coming back from Block Island, and returned to a really adverse inlet situation. To say the least, I wound up with an entire BBQ worth of lava rock sloshing around in a foot of water on deck. It was quite the mess😂 unfortunately we can't always choose the conditions we return back to port in.

That boat is from Riverton about 300 miles south. Its not his home harbour either.

It also not uncommon for the boat to belly on the bar in those conditions. Generally a deckhand is looking behind informing skip when wave is almost at transom. Skip can tell if bigger wave by sound of voice

@Eddy Hep Ummm, Eddy, it’s a joke, right? Based on the fact that while you can wait for the tide to change, a river’s current is another matter. It’s interesting that you say it’s not a river, because it IS a river. The river Grey, unsurprisingly enough. And Greymouth is at the mouth of the river. I’ve been there. And where a river meet the sea, you often find a bar. That’s the name for the entrance of a river to the ocean. Bars are notoriously difficult and dangerous to navigate because the interplay of currents, waves, winds, tides, etc fluctuates dramatically. I have sailed across a few. To be clear, the title is “Boats crossing dangerous bar Greymouth NZ”. So we might well assume that the boat was crossing the bar into the Grey River.

@Eddy Hep it is the Grey river and it was in flood at the time, they were not local fishermen.

Good idea. I'm going to have to go get some of that
