The river meets the Pacific over a shifting shoal where swells stand up into breaking water twenty feet and more. Around two thousand vessels have been lost here, the Graveyard of the Pacific. No ship crosses without a bar pilot, who boards from a boat or is lowered by helicopter, and the Coast Guard runs its heavy-weather rescue school on it.
