GRANDPA IS A RISK TAKER IN DANGEROUS WAVES | BOAT ZONE

Similar to the Haulover Inlet, the Passe du Boucarot in Capbreton, France, is famous for its heavy shore breaks and some extraordinary waves. Off the coast of Capbreton is a deep and large canyon due to the movements of large tectonic plates between France and Spain. The sea floor rises quite fast towards the coast, which explains why the waves can be so traitorous at the inlet entrance. Given specific movements of the entering and retiring tides, along with strong currents due to the canyon, and accentuated by large surf coming to shore, the inlet can become quite risky. The original access to the harbor was only developed in the 70s with the actual inlet built as we know it now. Regarding the port of Capbreton, it is the only fishing port in the entire Landes department. There are three types of fishing boats in that harbor: caseyeurs, fileteurs and chalutiers. The "caseyeurs" are boats that live cages on the bottom of the ocean, like the lobstermen would do in Maine. The "fileteurs" let long fishing strings in the wake of the boat, such as casual fishermen would do. The "chalutiers" (fishing trawler) are much more destructive to the environment. Trawling is a method of fishing that involves actively dragging or pulling a trawl through the water behind one or more trawlers. __________ Buy Me A Coffee for ONLY US $0.99!!
