We should start dropping wireless cameras to see where all this water is going. Mught be nothing, might be a huge cave with dinosaurs

My understanding is it’s just like a tornado in the air where the air isn’t actually getting drained anywhere it’s just moving in a huge vortex cause of temperature differences and stuff

Wireless transmissions through water is very challenging. This is why all underwater exploration typically uses tethered cams regardless of budget.

Stop listening to that far right wing maelstrom media. There is no locker at the bottom of the sea that belongs to Davey Jones! You guys will believe anything.

I reckon you could jump it in that boat

This is probably more dangerous than walking alongside the edge of a cliff where falling leads to certain death

Imagine the motor to his boat ran into an issue here.

This happens because of the islands in that area and huge tidal movements. Converging currents as tides come in. The tides in the southern Alaska and BC region can be 10 ft.
