Columbia River Bar Pilot being extracted from a cruise ship by Helicopter (Agusta 109). From Pilot's clipping onto the line, to his being inside the door of the helicopter was 14 seconds. This Bar Pilot told me that 70% of the transfers for the Colombia Bar's Pilots are now done by helicopter transfer. 5/5/2009
