Sorry - that video was featured on cnn.com this afternoon and it reminded me of your story.

Mike,

Nothing like my situation. I was alone Crying or Very sad Rolling Eyes

I did take a look down a whirlpool in the water, going under Deception Pass bridge one time. It was about 3 feet across and a good 6 feet deep. I was on the high side and going in the right direction so hardly felt it, but saw it early enough to see it and pick how close I wanted to be able to see in. I was crossing at about 16 knots.

Close enough to see I don't ever want to get into one of those.

We saw a 57' seiner which capsized In Seymour narrows. This is not unusual....be careful at high surrent passes.
