There have been many boats that have become wrecked over the years crossing the Greymouth bar, Tragically there have been lives lost coming in over this bar including a cousin of my Dads in 1990
You guys must have crossed over into fresh water as it looks like you're setting down in the water more than before you crossed the bar. People here on the western coast of the USA are sponsoning & lengthening boats like yours. 3 or 4 feet on each side makes a huge difference in weight carrying/stability. I liked the way the scuppers took care of the water initially, but when it started coming over the bulwarks, that made me nervous!(:>) Anyway, it was a good video that people associated with the sea can appreciate.
+Reg Pettinger yeah true mate, but greymouth would b the most deadly bar in the world, if u have a big rain storm the water could travle 200km through the opening creating an uncrossible bar in any size boat.
Pretty freaky sh4t, Fishing out of St.Helens Barway, Tasmania, Australia in the 80s before they built the extended spit-way was a dangerous place to be a lot of the time going to work and coming home. Too rough sometimes and crossing was not an option, worst part was it was too shallow at a couple of places and touching hard in even a moderate sea would more than likely see you sideways and up sh4t creek and upside down in that sh4t creek!
The deck on this vessel is designed to put the catch away real fast.I worked on the Cook Canyon back in the nineties,good boat,shame the skipper was such an asshole,Grey Eatwell...
@@brucelightfoot582 yeah I read somewhere the BNZ took his farm due him owing the BNZ $100,000 mortgage, then tried politics-Failed at that aswell-Karma🤣
Hey kiwi, do you have an email address we can use to contact you regarding this video? I'd love to discuss a license to use this if possible! Cheers, Felix
Nice footage! Is it possible for me to use and share this footage on my youtube page? I share footage from all kind of activities on our ocean. Cargo ships in the 1960s till now, oil rigs, fishing vessels, etc. Of course full credit will be given to the owner of the footage. Looking forward to your reply. Kind regards. Cheers.
Really? Huge money for dried out, freezer burned shitty old shark! The local fish is not even 1% of the catch. How about the good days when the swell is low? any reduction in fish price? I call bullshit. Not to many broke skippers on the coast & you know it.
Loved watching the Greymouth boats go after tuna and come in on the high tide. Swam my way up the river and surfed back into shore on waves that scared me to death. It is the surrender to the wave that only a surfer could feed from that I remember most. Total wipe out and chucked up on the rocks, lost flippers, where the hell am I... but that was awesome!
god bless all fisher people who cross greymouth bar.
She's running, top salty dog in the wheel house ❤❤

I'd say they had a pretty full chiller? ... she is low in the water ...
the screams at the end, the we made it still get to live scream
I've been there watching, it's just about the scariest heart stopping thing I've ever seen.
Man those waves were pushing you all caddywampus.
Impressive
Men and their machines. God love 'em.
Is this a boat or a submarine???
All boats are in training to become submarines. Thankfully very few graduate.
no way, uh uh... I will stay on the shore.
Why is that spot blurt out on the port side
It's a drop of water on the camera lens.
This boat shipping lead or somthing? why is it so low in the water?
Love JetFuel full of fish mate
Full of fish can handle a hundred ton
You guys don't get paid enough.
I was ready to jump at 145!
Can't run with the seas cause it's filled to the brim with fish...too heavy.
0:52 was way too close for comfort ...
1:45 was closer and scarier
Wow you are so right! Terrifying.
I'm going to assume the screaming at the end was the crew who was just happy to be alive.
JohnBee yip you got that right

What a nasty place!
The biggest lesson here is - if you know what's good for you, you will never complain about the price of fishnchips in Greymouth!
Really? Huge money for dried out, freezer burned shitty old shark! The local fish is not even 1% of the catch. How about the good days when the swell is low? any reduction in fish price? I call bullshit. Not to many broke skippers on the coast & you know it.
If only they were good.
I think I would find another port to fish out of!
@ 1.45 good amount of water coming g on board!
the boat handled it well..
reminded me of coming in the Columbia river,breakers for miles...good job..
you got that right.
Nerves of steel!!!
Balls of steel sounds better
Either got one massive catch aboard about to expire or plain insane!
After the Yahoo's at the end I'm going with insane!

Don't whinge about the price of your fish .
Very good
fuck yes that was fun.
I was going to suggest outriggers, as I sail cats, however I don't understand the local conditions.
They'd probably snap off
You need a bigger boat
Boat is big enough bro Im a deck hand on it atm greymouth is just very dangerous
Did you take on much water?
