Don't know where it is, but it's hard to think that luck doesn't play some part in getting in there in those conditions:eek: (is it part of the YM syllabus:p)

There are others that have no doubt been posted here:

Not a quiz but a question as I don't know. I'm missing sailing during this dark , long January so I've been searching Youtube for an unsatisfactory, virtual alternative and came across this:

Does anyone know where this is? A very scary/lucky/skillful landfall!

I posted this some time ago. It's Greymouth River bar on the West coast of New Zealand.

Em - yes. My balls would have had a scrap of headsail up - so that when the engine failed my hopes, crew and balls didn't end up dashed against the harbour wall.
Either that or my balls wouldn't have attempted it!

Crossing iffy bars is all part of the fun out here. This is us in 25kts of onshore breeze coming in as you recommend, under a scrap of headsail.

PS Sybarite, are you sure that's Greymouth?
