Michael Tolley is a Columbia River Bar Pilot, which is one of the most dangerous and stressful maritime jobs in the world!  In this interview we talk not only about his work but also his colorful career including the time he got stranded in the desert in Kuwait, got attacked by pirates... twice, and how he rescued several hundred Syrian refugees.
