After the perilous crossing of the bar, the fishermen are safe !
A week sea .. New Zealand fishermen have decided to go home at the peril of their lives ....
At the entrance of the port of Greymouth, the flashing lights installed on the breakwater reported "safe ".... The fishing vessel could not enter the mouth of River Grey fury ...
currents were so strong that it was almost impossible to maneuver the boat. Ray Haywood, one of the crew, said: "It's as if we had received a huge blow. At that time, the swell arrived on us at 10 knots, the boat while being fed at eight knots. "
Ray Burge, coastguard Auckland, said the fishermen were very lucky to escape unharmed. "The boat had been swallowed up at any time. "
Ten years ago, two fishermen died crossing the bar. Conditions were similar !
