That was the good ole days with the Tuna boats lined up to the horizon coming into Wesport and Grey. I left school at 15 in Grey and worked on the boats got my skippers ticket at 22 and started running the Cascade every 2nd trip with Craig Jones

Remember when VHS come out, we thought it was unbelievable, a revolution in filming for the ordinary Joe in the street. Now look where we are in such a short time, unbelievable. Great footage thanks for the clip, one thing I took away from this is the more modern steel hulls seem to be better at crossing the bar

Places like this is where having plenty of motor under your feet sure helps but whatever you have you better make dam sure she is in proper order. Not the place you want dirty fuel sloshing around or some steering linking failing. It could get you wet at very least.

Shame the camera was moving around so much resting on the car roof would have helped.

think the white boat had engine trouble and the red one looked to standby till she was safe
