my thought, exactly! Astoria, Oregon at the mouth of the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. I’ve been over that bar and it is always hairy!
now, if this - ahem - gentleman seized a sailing vessel with little sailing experience and attempted that waterway?! hoo-boy! look out! that shit is for experienced captains only!
i’m too old for that shit now. i won’t even enter the Intracoastal at Haulover Inlet anymore.
