i was there at xmas and wondered how they did it. Now I know. Not for the feint hearted.
used to do it fairly often in a 14ft centre console tinny with 40hp and 3 people when i was a teenager. had a few close calls, but my father would very rarely say no to crossing it.
That first bloke did a great job, he used some patience when he had a heap of waves staked up agianst him.
He actually looks like he reverses away from the wave at one point so as to avoid it as it's spilling over.

Greenie 77 I look forward to seeing your expert advice on Bar Crossings on this site sometime soon .
Pity more people don't put the time into producing "How to do it" videos , that way I may not need to put my neck or that of the SAR crew on the line next time one goes over on a bar or is swamped by the big ones adverse conditions.
I for one thought is was a good effort.
my expert advice would not to be so stupid
