these guys are the bravest of heroes rescued me and my friends off the chetco bar! without there help we would not be breathing! thank you COAST GAURD CHETCO STATION

The excellent harbor RV park has the best views of this action from the beach front seawall. Check Ore cams. Coast Guard base is right next to the park. During year of 'the Storm of the Century' Miss Sarah (90ft) was lifted and put on top of the Jetty. Captain reversed gear powered her buried stern and back off the Jetty. Scott's picture of the event is famous, available from local newspaper he runs. CHETCO is the correct name of the river. The Salmon runs are excellent as well as crabbing. :>)

Thank you, Coast Guard, for staying in shape. May I never need your hard-won skills.

Brooking's harbor cam shows the Chetco river mouth between the jetties. CG station is to the left. They have not let the cam update since a wooden fishing boat was stuck on those rocks for a long period of time and destroyed during removal. 'Miss Sarah', a large trawler was lifted up and onto the jetty while entering the harbor during a storm few years ago. Picture taken by local news editor/photog is famous, as she buried her stern while backing off those rocks.

I am a USCG veteran and we had a 44' Self Righting MLB. She was old and slow. That was 32 years ago. They have some neat stuff now.

I was stationed at Chetco from 1990-1992 as the Engineering Chief Petty Officer. Back then it was 44 MLB's. The new, faster 47-footers make it look so much easier! The surf zone South of the jetties was always nasty, so that's where we did all our surf drills. Nice video!

These guys are just having so much fun

Excellent video, rode the 44s back in the 80s.

Great video.. excellent song choice... true Heroes!!

These guys pull some serious duty..they get little recognition yet their duty is always dangerous..they have the best helicopter pilots of all the services...their swimmers are just plain crazy for doing the things they have to do...what a helluva great job...I wish I could join...I'd sign right now....

this boat = perfect mounting point for a "hows my driving" sticker!

Thanks to all the people who risk their own life for rescue the other! Special thanks to you!

if there were no commercials then you would be paying a monthly fee for youtube, sooo im pretty satisfied with this youtube...and who really cares if the subscribe button is yellow or not.

loved it thats real rough water action like bass strait ,only serious vessels or cool crew in those waters.

they made it over the bar , now bring those people home salute

cool video, cool music, cool all round

Ohhh so great, nice vid, nice music! I love this!

120 people flunked out of the Coast Guard. The video is BA dude. thanks for the post

When I lived in FL dated a Coast Guarder and went on the "family" cruise with them each year - these guys are AWESOME -- I would never be stranded at sea being super partial to land -- but IF I WERE I'd sure love knowing they were coming for me - dang, courage is HOT!!!

Sweet vid!

Looks like a blast.

Great Video, thumbs up

@giovadeo It's a stuffed dummy... usually filled with foam. They call it 'Oscar' and it's used to man overboard drills. In seas like that it's difficult to 'keep station' to maneuver alongside for the pick-up. Reminds me of the old days when I was in, but we had the 44ftrs. Had a blast at Cape D !

Never seen such pictures of an 47`` Great- greets from Munich Germany

@Bonedaddy500, The 47' MLB is equipped with twin Detroit Diesel DDEC 6V92TA engines, each rated at 435 HP at 2100 RPM.

the man overboard is a training dummy called an "oscar"

Kudos to these folks who risk their lives to save others'! I admire their courage and dedication!

sweet vid!

Rough seas? Hello Cape D when the Bar is up. This is playtime.

That "quiet spot" is about 20ft. from the jetty and all the rogues go there. I've been there and seen it. It takes a lot of skill to maintain station keeping in that spot. When the ocean is in turmoil at the Chetco bar, there's no place safe accept the commercial basin. These guys are awesome in video, more awesome in real life...

Amazing Coast Guard . I like sound & music.

@K4ziq Just so you know, thats a training dummy. You can see them throw it into the water at 0:25. They throw them in to simulate a civilian in the water. They do this during rough seas for maximum training realism. It's just a training exercise. You can see him floating by at 0:46 in the middle of the screen. (My cousins in the Coast Guard and I got to watch them do this exercise after taking a tour of the boats. (;

@OregonBoysVideo Puking is the last thing you think about, You try not to think about how you can easily get hurt, and just try to keep going with or against the waves. I remember I was out in about 5 foot seas, and I thought it was going to be fine. Suddenly my motor dies, and wont start. At that point your heart just drops, and you can't really stop the boat from turning side ways. Luckily I was able to switch to a new gas tank quickly and restart the engine.

Awesome music!

It is my understanding that, in training school, if you end up rolling over one of these 47 foot self bailers, you just failed the course. Another poster mentioned where both rescuers and rescued got tossed out of one of these boats when it rolled. I'll presume that's why one never wants to roll the boat, much fun as it may look at first glance.

Yes Marty they are. As a non-rate I was a engineer on one in the great lakes. By far my favorite small boat. Built like a tank.

These guys are heros.

muy bueno el video

The name of the guy who went overboard at 0:26 is Oscar. It's a training dummy that you use for man overboard drills. No matter where you go, it'll always be called Oscar because onboard a cutter you'll fly the Oscar flag whenever a man overboard is reported.

Whoa thats some rough stuff

That's alot of know how and a heavy pair of balls..God bless 'em.

Nice vid! I print all of these guys T-shirts. Thanks for you do guys (and girls!).

Wow. One almost looked like it was on the rocks there for a second.

Takes real skill to maneuvre a boat like that near rocks. Boat looks very tough. Yes i think they've all earned their paycheques-plus gratitude.

In this moment, they were saving a life? I don't understood this video! But it's fantastic this work! Beautiful Boat!

Well, the video description does say this: "The coast guard also deployed a dummy during the rescue training. You'll see it during the slow motion section of the video this is NOT a dead body like some might think." Sooo... I think its OK. The point is that this is a good place for training: the weather is good, and once past the inlet, the seas are calm; the only reason there's nasty waves right here is because the river is dumping into the ocean while the tide is coming in.

Now I don't care who you are, that's badass!

Great video 5*****

@IrishandJazz They have "Sea Legs" Once you have been on the water long enough you tend to naturally be able to operate under conditions like that. I have Navy buddies tell me stories of the ship rocking side to side so much you spend half the time walking on the walls.

Another otherwise interesting video ruined with gratuitously crappy music for no reason.

@OregonBoysVideo Thank you sir!!

That was an "oscar", otherwise known as a man-overboard practice mannequin. They're conducting training in that clip.

Man I miss it there

Awesome!!

I realy respect it, very hard with big ship to travel with vaves 12Mtrs but those boys are real heroes.

Very nice vid. I saw one of these at Nye Beach in Newport looking for survivors from a capsized boat a few months back.

*Coast Guard vs Perfect surfing conditions

in the faroe islands the weather out in the sea is often like that

@RikuKanade says the description: "The coast guard also deployed a dummy during the rescue training. "

nice job

This is a footage of storm training. Both boats could easely go away frm coast, where waves grow in size significily due to shallowness

Cool video. Those guys down at Mavericks may be surfing 50' waves, but these guys are surfing 50' boats.

Lets see, stormy, windy, rough water - "Yep, looks like we should stay outside and torture ourselves. No point in using a nice dry and protected cabin, right?"

@ThePLANLOS95 That would be Oscar.....the dummy. It's a human replacement allowing the USCG to practice or simulate a man overboard without actually putting a live human in the water.

bad ass boats! and a pair of bad-ass crusty salty coast guard capns at the conn! mucho respecto!

Remember folks, these are not the sharpest knives in the cutlery. After all, you dont actually JOIN the coast guard. You simply END UP there.

Coastee's have all the fun!

THAT'S AMAZIN !!!!!!

@RikuKanade His name is "Oscar".. he's a life sized dummy for person in the water recovery drills. He's the coast guards version of a crash test dummy....

Read the description! It is a rescue dummy at 1:18

Thats cool. They must be pretty good to ride those waves. =}

amazing¡¡¡¡

jesus lads they're some machine.id love to see the power plant driving them.great video

that's a good training for the captain

awesome the good guys boat! rock and roll

Looks like fun :)

Yeah! these guys realy have fun!)

We did it in a 36 and 44MLB 1974.Go Coasties!

this is your captian speeking hold THE FUCK ON!!!

Esses homens sao mas bravos que o mar! Parabens a todos. CORAGEM!!!

@RikuKanade The boat goes along side the dummy and people on the boat pick him out. notice how the walk ways on the side of the boat are a lot closer to the water line than the forward or rear deck, perfect for picking people out of the water. Rescue swimmers don't jump in with the boats for surf drills... I know a guy that was stationed there

Ive seen these boats in a lot bigger than 11' waves. Impressive to say the least

@LigerZero83 you can go as far as 65 degrees so long as you keep the center of gravity down or forward so it can pull the bow back down, ive seen a few small fishing boats go 85 degrees before but they werent exactially staying afloat while they were up that far,

@jesseg456 Composer=: Pierre Langer Gerwig Song= Hang em High Their are various versions of this song by different groups. KEEP ROCK´IN.

At 1:41 there's a cool moment when a 47 is backed into a quiet spot that is isolated from the rough waves. Probably the instructor was trying to make a point that even though bar conditions were rough, there was a semi-safe haven nearby to which a rescued vessel could perhaps be towed to safety.

Would be totally wicked to hang on to the bow of the boat when a wave hits it up

Remember when you could watch a video without a commercial? Remember when music videos were uploaded by users and not VEVO? Remember when all the info was to the right of the video? Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars? Remember the famous yellow subscribe button? Remember when the users controlled the site and not corporations? WE MISS THE OLD KZread! Post this in every video and channel and lets start a youtube riot. Thumbs up to keep at top

@K4ziq That is just a dummy, and they're training to save it. Read the descriptions :)

Wow~~ is on my bday =)

guys . the bodie that they throw overboard is dummy -.- read the description!!!!!!

I GOT SEA SICK - JUST WATCHING THIS. GREAT VIDEO Can't help but wonder who shot it.

that's a scary job for sure !

get 'em boats

@OregonBoysVideo they use self righting boats over here, can be capsized and just pop back up again.

I note at 1:42 that one of them was up the rocks on the beach. That was a very expensive Yahooo session. Would have suffered major bottom damage at taxpayers expense no doubt.

@ThePLANLOS95 It's the dummy they threw out at 0.24 !

@giovadeo Looks like a rescue dummy for practice. You can see it floating in the waves later on.

@pcteky2 oh jeese Mrs Peregrin is that you? You made second grade Engrish such a drag thanks a lot.

@emmteez1 Yeah they are intentionally built with almost all weight at the bottom of the craft, which indeed encourages, if not makes, the boat return to an upright position.

Thanks Coast Guard!!!They rush out into these dangerous seas,to save our lives...And sometimes die try in.Coast Guard rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!
