There is nothing placid about San Francisco Bay. Its raucous waters
have hosted brutal storms, daring rescues, horrendous accidents,
and countless hours of drama and tension. Captain Paul Lobo knows
that better than most people. As a licensed harbor pilot in those
treacherous waters, Lobo captained nearly 6,500 boats in a
thirty-one year career everything from mega-yachts to the USS
Enterprise to the Love Boat. Each trip tells its own story, and
Lobo shares many. Here readers will find gripping, tense adventure
stories, all well told. Reading Crossing the Bar is like being on
the rolling bridge with Lobo. Here are tragic deaths and lives
saved, inspiring rescues, devastating storms, and the infamous and
horrendous oil spill after the Cosco Busan rammed the Oakland Bay
Bridge which resulted in the first imprisonment of a maritime pilot
for making an error. Readers will also find a December sea rescue
Lobo assisted with in hurricane strength winds and monstrous seas.
Without Lobo's pilot boat and its crews' supreme effort, the ship
they saved would have foundered on the rocky Marin County,
California, coastline with the loss of all hands. Skyhorse
