Fighting Huge Waves - Rescue | Coast Guard Cape Disappointment Pacific Northwest | Full Episode

[@CJ0923]

My buddy died recently out on the kayak crab fishing. The coast guard did everything they could. Searched all night and the next day. Thankful for their efforts. Wish he was wearing a life vest. He would of been alive today. Just wear the thing even if you think you won’t need it. You just never know when something could go wrong

[@Sushi2735]

I’m sorry for your loss. Just tragic! Family friends of ours lost both their sons canoeing on Lake of the Woods, Minnesota and Canadian border. No life jackets either. Impossible for families to get over these losses ever!

[@heatherd.9390]

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's passing. It's so sad. We lost a family friend to a boating accident (recreational) a few years ago too and he didn't have his life jacket on either. Instead, his wife and three little ones are missing him greatly. With the life jackets that they make nowadays being less bulky and light weight, it would be easier to boat/work (paddle, pull pots, etc) while wearing one. The hard part is convincing folks who have boated/worked for years without one to put one on.

[@heatherd.9390]

@@Sushi2735 I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's son's passing. It is so sad. You are right - family just doesn't recover from such a tragic loss. One can't help but wonder if it wasn't somewhat preventable. We lost a family friend similarly a few years ago.

[@dutchhoke6555]

Love the Coast Guard - they and a salvage craft reached our flooding vessel, dead with seized prop in heavy following sea, 5 miles offshore. Responding to our relayed S.O.S, they came aboard, stuffed leaks, deflooded, and towed us to Cuttyhunk island for repairs. And they offered to compensate ME for cracking a rail pulling alongside. Of course, I gratefully declined.

[@heatherd.9390]

I'm glad to hear you made it out of that scary situation. Having them offer compensation for your railing must have seemed almost silly all things considered. Happy to hear you made it back for repairs.

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

Around here, Astoria, we love the Coasties. And the folks who work out on the water really love them. They are a great, selfless crowd who will save your ass when you are blowing onto the lee shore. And they are the only ones who will do that. Take a bow folks.

[@heatherd.9390]

These guys are insane. I have always watched the Coast Guard Alaska, and while that's still my favorite series (I especially like the helicopter rescues, so that's why), this one is crazy. I cannot imagine anyone going out in that area for any reason. I'd gladly give up fish for their safety, lol. Thank goodness the Coast Guard is there and that they are trained as well as they are... and that they're equally crazy😳

[@bamnet2k]

I can’t stress enough the importance of wearing life vests at all times one is in the water.

[@Bowlnmike]

And dressing for the water temperature, not just the air temperature.

[@bamnet2k]

@@Bowlnmike Absolutely true, even in South Florida - too much time in the water can result in hypothermia - surprising since our temperatures rival the surface of the sun...or at least I swear they do ^.-

[@ShukenFlash]

Seeing them take that wave for the Sylvia was like something out of a movie. Truly heroic actions by these men and women every day. Its a privilege to get to watch them in action. I hope I never need to call the Coast Guard in an emergency, but if I ever do I know without a doubt they'll answer the call.

[@stndupforusa8964]

Coast guard guys are A1.. and deserve the highest respect along with every other person that serves their country in any branch of service.. hats off!!

[@Imugi007]

Yeah it's kinda sad the USCG is often left out when speaking about branches of the military, but when someone needs help they're the first one to come for you. They're the one branch that's their for the citizens, yet are often overlooked.

[@gregsecore9625]

I bought a 32 foot Chris-Craft wooden boat many years ago when I was a young man Clinton Connecticut, I was in the ocean and all the sudden I started to take on water just got my license, I had my eight-year-old son with me and my handicap brother. My son and my brother was bailing out water, I quickly assess the situation and knew my bilge pump could not stay up with it the water was rising very much, I made a decision I only could save one. I decided my son I had to save I was the only one that could really swim, it was the most terrifying moment of my life, we all had lifejackets but we was way out into the ocean, I decided to make a mayday call. I was like a crazy man not knowing what to do the Coast Guard said where are you give me your coordinates, the boat did not have a GPS unit all I could do is describe a building that I could see I passed a little while ago, I told them my situation the Coast Guard calm me down where now I got control of my feelings. Before I knew it a helicopter flew overhead, it was the Coast Guard the waves was crazy, not knowing how this was going to end the next minute I knew I could see a Coast Guard ship sire greens blaring charging right towards me. They managed to get a pump on board. And it controlled the flow of the water there pump stayed right up to it all I can really say these men probably save my life my sons life and my brothers life, they are so brave. I know it has been many years but thank you Coast Guard you are one brave dudes and ladies PS May God always be with Use

[@amandasnider2644]

Dang. I'm sorry that happened, that would have been heartbreaking decision to be faced with. If Its any comfort, as a partially disabled person and as a future auntie, If I were in your brother's situation I would have insisted on saving your son.

[@craigroberson8757]

I am the proud Uncle of 3 nieces and a nephew I know your heart must have been breaking, I too am handicapped and I would insisted you save yourself and that of your son.

[@dutchhoke6555]

I also had a 30' Chris-Craft, 3 aboard, taking water, prop seized well offshore. (See my description above). All ended well- they reached us before we had to swim the Atlantic well into fall. Glad you made it too..much love to USCG.

The USCG should be an example of how all men and women should inspire to be. I was in the Navy back in 1986-1991 assigned to the USS Dogden a marine amphibias ship. We did exercises with the US marines and it was a pleasure to be apart of that team.

There are some in the fishing community who don't like the Coast Guard, but believe me, when things go really bad, those Coasties are the ones you want in your corner.

[@beardaquatics9163]

Usually seems to be those that want to do their own thing and don't think rules apply to them. So hate that they have to follow certain safety protocol, force them to stay in port till they fix safety issues, or that the coasties get them in trouble for fishing out of season.

[@carlhicksjr8401]

Washington native and US Army vet here. Welcome to our winter, folks. It's said, with some accuracy, that a Northwest winter starts on October 15th with rain. And it doesn't stop raining until May. What's bizarre about it is that I LIKE this weather. There is absolutely nothing like going outside after a strong spring squall with a stiff breeze behind it to bright sunshine and 'the mountain' [Rainier, St. Helens, Adams, or Hood] out. It's like unwrapping a present... brisk fresh air and a clear sky showing off a snow-capped peak. You can keep your 90 and 90 Southern weather. I'll take Northwest maritime temperate any day. Just remember: good boots, a rain coat, and a good hat. Only tourists use umbrellas. 😁

[@heatherd.9390]

Love this comment! I spent many years on the west coast of Vancouver Island in Canada so while I can't speak to your views, etc. I do understand the feeling in the air and I agree! I'm now in Alberta and while the snow is pretty, it's not a great environment for me having had a spine/cord injury and being in a wheelchair now🤣! Need snow tires on my chair! Plus the heat in summer months can get downright miserable. Yep, we get heat here in the summer! (I say that because many folks think we have snow 24/7/365, haha). I get back to visit family and friends at least once a year for a few weeks at a time now. It's always, ALWAYS hard to leave.

[@r.d.ontheroad-1094]

Years ago, I was on a private yacht and we had just come out of drydock in Hilton Head, S.C. As we headed down the river to open water, it was so calm. Before we knew it about 12 miles out, we were in a hurricane. At one time we came just a few clicks of no return on rolling over. We had a pendulum on the bridge that would show how far we had rolled on our side. When your tallest part is 65 ft. high, and you have to scrub the salt off it the next day. You know you have been playing in the BIG POND! As we were headed south along the coast, we could hear a 50 ft. Catamaran going down about 20 miles out further off the coast. We knew we couldn't get to them, We heard the CG headed for them, and we prayed for them to still be there when the CG arrived. It's a scary feeling when you have huge waves coming over your decks and breaking things lose that it should take a bulldozer to move, but water is powerful, and you learn to respect the sea. She is beautiful but can be deadly in a few minutes. I have spent many years on the water, and had several close calls, but I still love it and it is part of life that so many enjoy each day! My hats off to the Coastie's, as many call them. A friend of mine was in the CG, and I always wished I had joined them as well! Stay safe guys wherever you are stationed! Thanks for your service and dedication!

Great episode. Cape Disappointment seems to get a lot of variety in their missions. That trip over the bar in those waves can be watched many times. Doesn't get old. CG has some gear, I will say that. I thought that guy on the Sylvia said "hagfish". I Googled that. Found an article in Fisherman's News, Feb 1, 2013. Ugly slimy fish but delicacy in Asia. Good market year round.

[@jeffscott3160]

Two completely different places in the video. Cape disappointment is on the Washington state coast on the north side of the Columbia river, the Jetty the Sylvia was trying to traverse is the entrance to Yaquina bay in Newport Oregon, about 140 miles south of Cape disappointment.

[@gregorycarver5723]

Station Cape Disappointment is one of the CG training facilities for motor lifeboat personnel. Lot going on all the time. Station Yaquina Bay is a regular lifeboat station. Normally two motor lifeboats. It is also served with a helicopter. Not sure if that asset is stationed at Yaquina Bay or if its official home is Station North Bend. Anyway, a great group of hard working, caring people.

What did you guys even do out there? Sylvia said you were awesome so something went on. That's the best show!

[@beardaquatics9163]

The bar is the transition point between the mouth of the river and the ocean. So it can be extremely rough when the water coming down river is slamming into the tide and waves coming in.

These guys do what they do and go about it the best way they are trained for, however, I'd be 1 deck down in the enclosed cabin (of the 47) till I got closer to the sinking vessel, then go up topside to take a beating. Just don't see a reason to get the crap beat out of you if you can avoid it (from the spray and driving rain). Understanding you can see better up top, but hey, over an hour away, keep your crew warm and dry as long as you can. But it's not like the days of the 44 where you kinda had to be outside.
