out freakin' standing, bill - amazing movie.

thanks for posting that.


A comment from a guy I know who used to fish out of Depoe bay regarding the
video.

"FWIW, most of that video is 3 - 5 years old. If you're talking about the
"Prime Time" out of Depoe, it's a 43 ft Delta. At one time there were 6 or 7
43 Deltas there.....the preferred boat for that harbor.

What most of the video doesn't show very well is that....there is an 'S'
turn in the hole. So it is critical to avoid getting picked up by a big
swell when going through the turn, as short as it is.

There is a saying up here...

"There are two kinds of skippers in Depoe Bay. Those who have hit the rocks,
and those who will hit the rocks."
