Interesting article in the NY Times about the Columbia River Bar and the Coast Guard Motor National Lifeboat School. If you like to read about conditions you never want to see in your boat, here's another place for vicarious enjoyment of extreme danger.

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/18/us/coast-guard-columbia-river-bar.html

There's an internal link in that article to another story and a video of a rescue. In case you miss it, here it is (You will want to read this one if you are a fan of the movie "Goonies"):

What a bizarre story! Here's another link to it..

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/goonies-arrest-coast-guard-1.6737215

Apparently the "mariner" is from our local waters (Victoria)..and stole the boat..
