I was amazed by the pictures of the 22 c-dory taking on the Columbia bar, so I looked up some facts on it, even more Amazed!

John,

I hope Rich Reynolds will tell us the real deal here, but am guessing, since these are by Neil Rabinowitz, who took the pix of our Alaska trip from a helicopter, these are probably helicopter pix too. The angle of some of the photos suggests that too, but damn, the angle of others would have that copter barely skimming the tops of the waves!!!! So, what is the story, Rich??
