We have been going in and out of the Columbia River, Oregon for the past few months and I had no idea that we have been crossing the Columbia River Bar - an area known as the graveyard of the Pacific.

For the past 200 years it has wrecked over 2000 ships and to this day, remains as one of the most treacherous waterways that ships pass through on a regular basis.
