Fishing vessels crossing the bar in Westport, New Zealand.
Tape is old, most likely copy of a copy. Footage is estimated to be from around 1989-1990.
Many boats shown aren't around anymore.

That was the good ole days with the Tuna boats lined up to the horizon coming into Wesport and Grey. I left school at 15 in Grey and worked on the boats got my skippers ticket at 22 and started running the Cascade every 2nd trip with Craig Jones

Never forget this was, in the old days, done under sail.

Remember when VHS come out, we thought it was unbelievable, a revolution in filming for the ordinary Joe in the street. Now look where we are in such a short time, unbelievable. Great footage thanks for the clip, one thing I took away from this is the more modern steel hulls seem to be better at crossing the bar

Places like this is where having plenty of motor under your feet sure helps but whatever you have you better make dam sure she is in proper order. Not the place you want dirty fuel sloshing around or some steering linking failing. It could get you wet at very least.
