Photographer Michael Bendixen and Producer Ed Jahn spent today out at sea with the amazing Columbia River Bar Pilots. Rough seas? What rough seas? Bar pilots are out in this and far, far worse every day. A privilege to be invited to join them. Look for the story next season. | Oregon Field Guide

Last month, the Polar Endeavour completed a 100 mile, 12-hour journey up the Columbia River guided by a bar pilot (tasked with safely maneuvering the ship over a sandbar into the harbor) and river pilots. The Endeavour passed under three bridges and through one drawbridge. The weather was perfect.

This short snippet captures just one moment in the life of a Columbia River bar pilot. It always stops me in my tracks. This is what they do all winter long and in every condition while so many of us are warm at home. It was an absolute privilege to be invited to join them at sea and witness how they operate up-close, and I have nothing but admiration for those who choose this line of work. We tell the full story on "Oregon Field Guide" on OPB this week, or you can watch it here: https://watch.o
