The Dungeness crabbing in the bay is slow. I guess it's just as well that we're shutting down for a few weeks for a Covid-19 holiday. As of Tuesday noon we are closed for camping until at least January 4th. Day use will continue until the weather changes but we are unable to sell beer, food or drink. While the crab might be happy for the break, my opinion may differ, but at least this is the slow season. If you're gonna hurt me I'd rather you do it when it doesn't hurt much, so thanks. Now I gotta go hoard some toilet paper.

omg what a video!! who is this person?? holy shit
No beer!?
So much awesomeness. I had to watch it twice!
Can't view the video????
SMH. That was a painful video to watch, really makes me wonder what they were thinking. ID10Ts.
I cant find the video
Mobile version didn't show it for some reason. Added link for those who can't see it.

I've had to come in when it was like that, just once. I ran the troughs, avoided the breakers, and thanked God I went with a 90 HP instead of a 70HP. Not fun.

Wow!!! Left me speechless- that is a tough little boat!! Must hear from this dude-against better judgement I am going to salute this dude. I just hope he didn’t have any unwilling passengers.
Wow!!! Jaw dropping!! Against better judgement I gotta salute the dude!
Dude - play by play please
Wow!!
A true American hero!
Reminds me of this classic of the genre:

living in DB I have enjoyed watching big coast guard cutters out testing their skills and limits in breaking bar surf before but that video was crazy, any idea location from which video was shot, drone?
Wow thought it was fun watching coast guard cutters out playing in breaking surf on bar that video was CRAZY!! Was video shot from a drone?
Balls of steel or a brain like a marble, hard to say. Not worth the crab nor the risk to first responders who have to find your body.
I sure hope that they’re wearing their masks.
What make of boat was that? The Captain is either really good or ? Looks like the mouth of the Columbia River.
So what's with my (our) comments being viewed for approval before being posted?
Keeps the dip sticks and wing nuts at bay...
I like it 👍🏻
that is some kind of mind over matter, man on a mission...must be a mental condition.
Tailout, I turned on comment moderation so I could filter out some of the less civil and productive comments. One of our regularly contributing unknowns has, shall we say, monopolized some recent comment sections. He makes me miss Ab Fish; at least Ab was entertaining and intermittently helpful. I'll do my darndest to ensure that comments are approved in a (relatively) timely manner, but be gentle with me. No one is banned; I'm just trying to ensure the discussion stays civil.
Sounds good, yea AB Fish was intertaining and knew what he was talking about most of the time. What happened to him? AB Fish where are you?
Looks like it's the ole "I spent all this money and came all this way" I'm going no matter what! Crazy,people please fo your homework on the weather before trying that! Glad they made it out but not worth the risk!
That's exactly right unknown. We had one day where we flubbed the weather evaluation, towed down, put the boat in, went out, turned around, pulled the boat out, WASHED the boat, and went to lumberjack for breakfast! Now we say worst-case it will be a lumberjack day.
Just like Tailout said, it looks like Columbia river mouth. BTW, what happened to my prior comment?
Thanks for the post.

Comment approval delay. That's on me.
A lot of thoughts come to mind watching that video but “hero” is not one of them.
