Default Crossing the bar (the mouth of the Columbia River)

No reason to post this other than a great photo

The mouth of the Columbia River is the most dangerous river to enter from the ocean,* 32,000 boats lie at the bottom trying to cross.* That is a 47 ft boat

There is a great documentary done for PBS(?) about Columbia river bar pilots and the Coast Guard station set up to train them at Cape Disappointment.
