The notorious Narooma Bar crossing, NSW Aust

Not a bar to be taken lightly. Plenty of trailerboats have come to grief on this one. While it might not look too bad from the wall, it's a different view from behind the helm of a boat. My philosophy is no fish it worth losing the boat, or worse... We didn't go out that day. Jan 2011

A glimpse of a gorgeous little beach at Merimbula NSW. While safe in parts for kids there is a rip. A couple of days ago the rip dragged me out to the buoy.

Narooma New South Wales Australia

Narooma is a town in the Australian state of New South Wales on the far south coast. The town is on the Princes Highway. The name is said to be derived from the Aboriginal word meaning ‘clear blue waters’. At the 2011 census, Narooma had a population of 2,409 people.

Montague Island, a National Parks and Wildlife Reserve, is eight kilometres offshore from Narooma. It is popularly thought that Lieutenant James Cook named the island as he sailed northwards up the coast of New South Wales but this is incorrect. He did name the Mount Dromedary which is located inland from Narooma, but his ship, HMB Endeavour was on an easterly tack at the time, which took it far to the east of the island. From this point the island appeared to be a cape which projected from the coastline and this he named Cape Dromedary as it was below the mountain. Later, one of the ships of the Second Fleet in 1790 reported it as an island and the name Montagu (after George Montagu Dunk, the Earl of Halifax) was given to the Island though it is not clear by whom. Bass and Flinders later confirmed it as an island in their voyages of discovery in the late 1790s. (The Lure of Montague -Laurelle Pacey)

Narooma Bar Crossing Australia - Fishing Boat Capsize Sinks

Filmed from the North Break Wall @ Narooma 09/02/2013.

Unfortunately I missed the moment when the vessel rolled due to repositioning myself to protect the camera from heavy rain at the time. But both blokes in the runabout made it to shore.

Remember to logon with your local Marine Rescue & always wear a PDF when crossing bar.
