Try being a bar pilot at the mouth of the Columbia, like this gal disembarking after getting the ship over the bar. :shock:

It's just another day at the Office....They should have filmed it from the Pilot Boat and many people watching would either turn it off or Barf. Brave people every Day!

She may have ovaries of steel but the pilot boat skipper has got a ton of skill! Between the swell, bow wave and wind he didn't even scratch the paint. :lol:

Due to the damage caused by 80 TIAs and 3 major strokes from the Covid shot, that made me nauseated and I almost fell out of my chair. I used to love roller coasters. I cannot even watch them now.
