Been there and done that crossing the Humboldt bay bar in Eureka Ca.. also the Coos bay bar at Charleston Or. with a load of crab pots in a 27’ boat. Fun trip sometimes.
wow at Eureka. we did not see that when we were there. it looked pretty calm and foggy.
The abandon bar is pretty dangerous. My Mother was visiting her across the street neighbors and saw a boat get in trouble and capsize. All those on the boat died. They had long experience going in and out of abandon but it dint do them any good that day. Particularly sad is the fact their family saw everything.
