Summary

A story of survival on the Columbia River Bar On this day, 52 years ago, a commercial fishing boat sank on the Columbia River Bar. KMUN comentator Michael McCusker was aboard. He and his crewmates survived, thanks to the quick intervention of fellow mariners. I've shared his story before on the show, but not on the anniversary of its occurrence. Today we take a closer look. We commemorate the anniversary of his rescue, and talk about what happened to the boat that caused it to sink in a matter of minutes. It's a cautionary tale about where you should and should not go on the Columbia River Bar in a boat. And, thanks to Michael, it's a darn good sea story.
