I took this video of the Icelandic fishing boat REYNIR GK-47 in the difficult entrance to Grindavík harbour in January 1991.
In strong South and Southwest wind the heavy svells breaks in the entrance. That kind of circumstances can be very dangerous to boats, specially when they are coming to harbour.
In that case the boat took a ride on a swell and lay on her side for a while. Due to the skipper's proficiency, he was able to right the boat and proceed to harbour.
Today the entrance has been changed a lot to make it more secure than it was at that time.
