    Concurrently, sand can ruin the currentkasten.

    And now I just have to.

    (and this discovery is fucking awesome)

    If the current is infested with crabs I assume the no swimming sign should be put out?

    Bald eagles still can safely fish the current with crab infestation.

    What if you had a stiff branch, couldn't you spear the crabs in the current?

    Indeed you could.
    I find ,if you pour enough alcohol into the current,it will become much ,much easier to navigate.

    Does alcohol burn the current or are we not really concerned with that as the current doesn't seem to care about mankind

    Sometimes after days of stormy bad weather, a small infusion of alcohol to the current not only won't burn but will actually chill the current.Swimmin in a chilled out current is always easier

    Sometimes I find its the opposite effect. While alcohol can help make the current expose itself it makes for a much harder workout. You swim and swim against the current hoping your force will slow it down but it does not. In fact the current flows harder and harder as you get tired.

    Well, swimming the current, like many things, can be dangerous when too much alcohol has been consumed. If you can't complete your swim once started you're in real trouble. Changing strokes may help.

    Sometimes it can be fun to swim in a strong current even if you cannot get to the destination. I think the key is knowing when a good workout has been enjoyed and to head back to the shore for more drinks. After such vigorous swimming they are well earned.

    Your leaving out breast stroke.Usually one of the easiest ways to navigate the current.

    You can also come at the current from a different angle.Sometimes you can work in from behind the current(caution,there are multiple ways to go about this.It is not for the novice swimmer) or even approach at an angle and just work your way into a fluid swimming scenario.It may take a little work but once you get your stride and a good head of steam.its all money

    Whats the rule when you are done with your workout but the current is still flowing. Can you quit or do you need to keep swimming until the current gets tired?

    Stupid question you keep swimming until the current has run it course and is all done. If you can't handle the current for the duration you aren't ready for the current.

    I'm a big fan of the Pacific current. It's warmer and there are mountains near by

    The mountains are bigger and prettier out west as well.

    The Pacific Current is to be feared.Many of swimmer have been lost in those waters.

    That's because many head west all cocky and full of themselves without being properly prepared for the awesome force that is the Pacific Current. But those that know what they are doing say it's the best experience of their lives.
