The boats are sucked and pulled by churning brown currents, turned by waves and hammered by an unrelenting swell. The sandbar at the mouth of Grey River is treacherous considered the most dangerous in Australasia. And after a day of heavy rain, these two Riverton-based fishing boats were fighting an eight-knot current. The men onboard were not wearing lifejackets, and locals say they were crazy to even attempt crossing it.
