    TravelerOh that whirlpool is amazing! I’m sure you have to be there to get the experience first hand.

    TravelerYeah, pics don’t do it justice. The huge ship we were on, when we’d get close, it would just suck it down on one side, the ship was over 120 feet long, massive, and it just sucked it up. The brothers shared with us that there are similar whirlpools near Italy and likely it was one of the seagoing dangers Paul referred to.
