[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, One of my favourite spots to watch! thanks for sharing

[@westcoastrippers9862]

Thanks appreciate the comments😁

[@captainsalty9022]

That’s some seriously bad weather!

[@westcoastrippers9862]

Yo Ho Ho! Captain

[@tommyrq180]

Star of the show is the horizontal windsock. She’s a bit blustery out there, boys!

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Normal winds where I live 😂

[@Jolly56Roger]

I love this great to watch there seamanship 👌

[@westcoastrippers9862]

Thanks👍

[@dajo4349]

Was entertaining video. I wish you could have continued videoing the whole thing and not gone to still shots in the middle of the stormy entrance. Thanks.

New Zealand. South Island. West Region. Across Tasmania Sea from Tasmania. Mouth of the Grey River, hence Greymouth. 😅

[@guaporeturns9472]

That’s a bad place. Not a lot of margin for error in those conditions. Check out the crabbers coming and going at St.Paul Alaska. I did that a bunch.. a few times were absolutely terrifying. ( as a deck hand , not in the wheelhouse)

[@keithmelton4570]

Fish prices should reflect what bad weather and dangers the crews and skippers endure. No fish, no work, no pay!

[@westcoastrippers9862]

Definitely 👍

[@WayToManyAssassins]

Seafood prices are already ridiculous in New Zealand.

[@BurchellAtTheWharf]

This in Oregon? Or Washington?

[@westcoastrippers9862]

New Zealand

[@tonyhudson8698]

South Island , great white bait fishing.. Cheers from Chch, preferably KAIKOURA..

[@brianhealey5286]

Everyone wants to be captain until there is captain things to do!

[@westcoastrippers9862]

Love it

[@reeselayton3031]

Has the Resolution ever done this before? Shouldn't let waves overtake you, that's when you yaw a can get sideways and roll.

[@paulm7448]

How do you stop waves overtaking you in a displacement hull that's probably only capable of around 10 knots?

[@robingraham6820]

@@paulm7448 you can’t. Probably the safest action is to stand off for a while until conditions change.

[@tommyrq180]

I’ll bet the Resolution II’s skipper has done this run hundreds of times, many in worse conditions. Another great fishing day at sea and boring day on land.

[@michaelsmith8060]

Bullshit

[@kennyhollidayjr5206]

Wow

[@waterbourne9282]

Moral of the story, don't buy a used car from Greymouth.

[@westcoastrippers9862]

🚗 for sale one lady owner⛈️⛈️⛈️😄😄😄

[@StuWNZ]

A friend bought a hilux and it was a rust bucket. Cost him $1500 every wof.

[@marleybutler4633]

A mic wind filter would be appreciated

[@westcoastrippers9862]

It’s on the list what is out there👍

[@westcoastrippers9862]

Saving up for decent camera gear and mic

[@philsurgenor6386]

Is the catch worth the ship? I think not! We paddle out of the grey mouth and surf back to shore. Sometimes to Blaketown, but the waves can be read. Those are monster bar waves that can't, never should have tried!

[@westcoastrippers9862]

Pretty wild that day I was surprised to.
