Joe said: >>>I've flown or sailed through the triangle on perhaps twenty occasions and what they say is true! I disappeared mysteriously on the eleventh trip and was never seen again...<<< I almost disappeared too, the first time I released a large, personal methane bubble in my new drysuit on the way back from Jolie's after ingesting more than a normal human male's share of her Washington-famous homemade kayaker's chilli. Interestingly, I accompanied my daughters to the Institute of Ocean Sciences here in Victoria this past Spring for a field trip. The Acoustic Research scientists had some interesting sonar-type imagery of the sea floor off the Fraser River, showing large, inexplicable round holes. "Crop circles" underwater? They had been investigating them as possible dangers to navigation (as in what caused the deep, large holes). Funnily enough, the scientist with the Acoustic Research Group who was explaining the phenomenon, then went on to what appeared to be one of his obvious personal favourites, namely sharing his team's data on the odd tides up near Cape Caution. I got into an argument with the guy over my little mishap up there a few years ago, suggesting they ought to do more research, and facilitate this information to the Hydrographic Service for placement on charts of the area, as an aid for slow moving vessels. It must have been a heated exchange, because my family mysteriously disappeared and I did not find them for another hour or so in the labyrinth of hallways and labs. http://pulson.seos.uvic.ca/new_research.html Doug Lloyd Victoria BC *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
