That illustrates rather nicely why West Coast designed boats are far
more seaworthy than those the East Coast wussies use on their local
waters. *Takes a real man to navigate the West Coast.*

And this is why you're hiding out in Derby, Kansas...??

Matanzas Inlet, just south of St. Augustine, FL.
Closed to navigation...the bridge is fixed and low.

We went right by there on out trip south last November, staying
between 1/4 and 1/2 mile offshore. Interesting area, seen from the
water.

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."

Do you have *any* experience operating a 2252 Bayliner? Neither does
Krause.

Skipper,
No I do not. I did not say that it could not be done. I said I would not
recommend any of the boats designed for family recreational boating for
this kind of inlet. I did not limit my comment to Bayliner or any
specific brand of boat.

The inlet is not always that bad. You pick your days. Guy I fish with at
times, his dad ran a 53' commercial boat out of Depoe and he fished out of a
22' boat (Marlin I think).

i cant stop watching that - its amazing.

espiecally that coastie running around in the background in that
double ender.

damn thats fun to watch.

Did you notice that it looked like some of the boats were heading out to
sea, and the coastie turned them around? One boat "surfed" into the bay
on a wave. It looked like he was out of control, and God was the only
thing between him and Davey Jones Locker.

i think it was more like they were waiting on sea conditions to get a
little more stable before shooting the gap.

notice that one that almost rolled? he stayed put for a minute
waiting to catch the wave cycle in a more calm state.

either that or he had to restart his motor.

i thought that bayliner almost crashing was pretty funny.

bayliner - get a real boat.

I think the one boat had to restart his motor. And luckily he did. Amazing
is how the CG boat took those swells.

Next time you are in the area (Jax-St. Augustine), stop at Marker 33
Restaurant in Jax, right on the ICW, and the Conch House Restaurant in
St. Augustinne, right off the ICW down Salt Run. Both are worth the stop.

I'll keep that in mind. We ran outside except for a quick in and out
at St Augestine for the night, but perhaps next time the weather
outside will be less favorable.

Yes, well that lets you and your p.o.s. little Bayliner out, eh?

At least he has a boat.

Snipper's never run an inlet anything like that, and neither has anyone

How's the trim doing in the 65 knot Parker Harry? How many hundredths
of a seconds have you shaved off thus far?

A boating adventure to Overland Park?

If he makes it all the way to KC, MO, there's a nicely paved portion of
riverbed near the Country Club Shopping Plaza, perfectly suitable for a
boater of Snipper's vast experience.

Any boating experience, is more than you will ever have Krause.
