BEVAN,

Ahh! But did you notice the bow design to take that sort of bar crossing on that old scow...around the world where there are bar conditions similar to this the designs put forth to withstand the perilous conditions are numerous and do the job well...that old scow nears a broach and pulls thru...no matter the type of boat and the place in the world the seamanship to deal with and survive the conditions is the thing we must be mindful of...Hats off to seaman everywhere for their ability and skills. It is good to see this footage and keep us on our toes! THX for posting this...I watched it again and wonder what it is like when it is really nasty! Capt PJ
PS I'd think twice maybe even a few more times before crossing!
