Welcome back to Boating News of the Week! As usual we review some clips of some people doing some silly things on a boat mixed in with some people doing incredible things on boats.
This week we have a wild one as several people take a wild ride!

The expression "reached out" needs to be thrown overboard, and smashed against the rocks!
The breakaway barges were filmed by the Aquachigger channel, a metal detecting videographer I follow. The excavators in the video ended up at the bottom of the river. They sent a DJI Phantom drone out with a Kevlar rope attached to loop that raised structure on deck, so they could attach a heavier line to it. The Drone sank to the depths as well.
I’m so glad those beautiful young girls didn’t meet any great white sharks. 👍🏻
That last story. Wow.
The mouth of the Columbia River, at Astoria, Oregon, is a major ship's graveyard. It is notable for having destroyed hundreds of ships from the 1700's to the present day. Unpredictable seas and weather conditions that change in a heartbeat, fog and numerous very mobile sand bars are part of this equation. Fun to see our neck of the woods in your reporting!
that's gotta be such a hard decision, realizing you have to abandon your pride and joy…. : /
It's usually a mylar birthday balloon, but I call em out… we get 1 every 3 knms… Happy Birthay to these two!
When caught in a rip current you swim parallel to the shore to get out of it. Swimming 101 living in Florida. Otherwise you go out to sea and have to hope a boater comes by.
FWIW the water temperature at Moss Landing is about 54 f. This wetsuit surfing 🏄 temperature all year. What were these doing swimming out that far in bikinis? They were real lucky.
I live about 10 miles from that Potomac River incident and all of us were shocked to see that they had those barges in the water at this time of year. Spring time here is the rainy season and it takes very little rain to turn the upper Potomac into Mr. Toads Wild Ride…. 20+ mph currents are normal.
Why are your videos so much quieter than others? I have to crank the volume this channel and Miami Boat Ramps.
“Barges? We don’t have no barges. We don need no stinking barges.”
Glad to see the girls rescued. Kudos to the captain.
Lucky that Bill got that on camera, his wife wouldn't be too impressed with that story 🤣
Those girls were incredibly lucky.
Very lucky young ladies!
As for the barges the jacking legs look to be missing from their chutes so I'm assuming they may have floated up and over their legs
Good shit on saving those girls. Definitely could have ended differently
she had an impressive set of built in life preservers
Looked like a nice sailboat, what a bummer
That sailboater was in what's known as the Graveyard of the Pacific. Definitely no joke if you get into trouble.
It's always great to see a good rescue. Awesome to the people who saved the girls. God Bless ya!
You are twenty miles out to sea and you are swimming. Tell, me, do you need any help or should we go about our business and leave you two to it? …………. OK, well, two miles, not twenty but the effect is still the same…..
A flip'n barge!!!! Sick lines on those rapids!!!
The Potomac gets nasty
I kayak that part of the Potomac and there is no way they are getting those barges out of there anytime soon.
Always enjoy these videos. BUT, the breakaway barges went through a number of bridges, not an amount!
Hey I got a shout out …… thank you
Crazy week !!!
Wow. Quite an exciting week.
Watch til end. Awesome rescue!
Really Kool!
1:50 i can confirm that the water is like this on the coast of oregon, this is pretty normal, and for this captian to be out there in these conditions likely due to mental illness.. because you dont just go out when its nice and end up in this stuff, its like this nearly 90% of the entire year, and worse. i lived in oregon and washington most of my life, and family there to this day.. astoria is well known for its waves and really bad rip currents. so bad that if you go out on the beach, you better keep an eye on the waves, because likely a wave will throw a massive tree at you.. very common to be killed by tree logs on the beachs of astoria.
Question from skipper in last clip "Are you ok or you need help"….hahahahahaha. Mate, are you for real 🙂
A salad eating super model would have died of hypothermia! Fluffy girls rule!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great sandbags on the last save!!!
That last clip shows the importance of knowing how and when to signal distress. Those girls are lucky.
This is very typical on the north coast near the Columbia. The surf conditions can get very wild so I like to get at least a mile out. But when the wind pick up it can go from dead calm to 10’ waves in minutes. The bars we cross going out can make Haul Over look calm. When we have a storm come in from the west we can have 15’ rollers push all the way into the bays, and have wave run down the tops of the jetty’s. When the storm flags are flying small craft stay in, and commercial fishermen think twice. Those were two very luck young ladies at the end. PS I live just North of Bandon, Or. and grew up roaming the coast with my dad and grandad. Our favorite port to go out of was Depot Bay.
Great rescue of the girls 👍🏻
And I thought this was a wild ride 🤦🏻♂️ https://youtu.be/ito7t2t_iAE
Those girls were pretty far out there, and that guy spotting them. Growing up on the water definitely has its advantages
Those girls in Monterrey Bay are extremely lucky. The water is so cold there, that the only way you could safely stay in it for long is in a dry suit. I used to go to Marina Del Rey, nearby and couldn't get past mid calf because the water was so cold. The currents and undercurrents in that area are treacherous also.
