White Caps and Water Over the Bow; Columbia River Bar Crossing July 2018

The Columbia River Bar can be bad even on a good day, and today was a good day with no Coast Guard bar restrictions on vessels. Onshore the sky was clear and blue, but over the bar it was overcast with patches of fog which in some places limited visibly to only 100 yards
The bar crossing in this video was filmed while heading in from a tuna trip 62 miles offshore. The tuna fishing grounds still had water colder than we’d like (low 60s F., rather than mid to upper 60s F.), so the tuna fishing was not very good. We still caught tuna, but not very many and barely worth 180 mile round trip journey. There will be more video to come of this fishing trip and bar crossing.

From Wiki:
The Columbia Bar, also frequently called the Columbia River Bar, is a system of bars and shoals at the mouth of the Columbia River spanning the U.S. states of Oregon and Washington. The bar is about 3 miles (5 km) wide and 6 miles (10 km) long.
The bar is where the river's current dissipates into the Pacific Ocean, often as large standing waves. The waves are partially caused by the deposition of sediment as the river slows, as well as mixing with ocean waves. The waves, wind, and current are hazardous for vessels of all sizes. The Columbia current varies from 4 to 7 knots westward, and therefore into the predominantly westerly winds and ocean swells, creating significant surface conditions. Unlike other major rivers, the current is focused "like a fire hose" without the benefit of a river delta. Conditions can change from calm to life-threatening in as little as five minutes due to changes of direction of wind and ocean swell. Since 1792, approximately 2,000 large ships have sunk in and around the Columbia Bar, and because of the danger and the numerous shipwrecks the mouth of the Columbia River acquired a reputation worldwide as the Graveyard of the Pacific.
