Crossing the Bar 12-30-23

The local crab fishing fleet from Garibaldi on Tillamook Bay has to brave one of the most dangerous bar crossings on the West Coast. The boats dropped pots so they could catch crabs to be ready to pull pots when the season opened, so they made many trips hauling pots out to sea. They have to go out whenever they can even if it means rough conditions.

Yup, Tillamook Bay bar is like that and gets closed when conditions worsen. Only went over the bar in my 21ft pleasure craft when it was dead calm. Likewise for the Columbia river bar which I only crossed once.

Check out the crabbers coming in and going out of St. Paul in Alaska. I used to have my survival suit in my hand when we would come in during big following seas

The other captains and crews watch from the jetty. They called the Coast Guard when the first boat of the day got stuck in a bowl out by the red bouy. It made it out safely before the Coast Guard arrived.

Thanks. I couldn’t understand why the skipper wasn’t going for it when he seemed to have several good shots.
