Still-
In that first photo, I think those are a bit more than twenty footers...given the size of the tanker in the photo...and the fact that the deck is awash...
Yes, small boats can cross the Columbia River bar...but the shores north and south of it aren't all the friendly, and most of the time are a nasty lee shore... and there aren't many good ports of refuge if the weather turns nasty...so why risk it.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
