There is a reason the coast Guard does their rollover boat training on the Columbia River bar.... A nasty bit of water that deserves lots of respect.

Having fished in the Pacific outside that bar, I have crossed it many times over a number of years. I have been across that bar when it was a sheet of glass. But that was the exception, even on the "good" days.
