Direct from Panama I was told that the sea conditions were not as calm as they seem to be in the pictures, and the captain was an experienced captain. The seas were full of big swells and large waves. A large wave came over the transom, and with the anglers all being in the starboard corner, the boat leaned and the captain in the tower lost his footing. While the boat was still in reverse, another wave came over the transom. At this time the captain slipped and [was] believed to still have his hand on the throttle, putting the boat in full reverse [and] burying the transom into the next waves and swells. You can see how this might happen; as you know, when fighting a fish the captain is facing aft with his hand on the throttles and when slipped the last thing your hand is holding onto is the throttle controls.

Unbelievable - the guys have a sea story they can tell forever now.

I just can't see myself getting into that pool! Just something about it makes me think NOPE!

That would scare the crap out of me too!

At the start look over to the left

Worlds largest pool is in Algarrobo, Chile

Okay, yes I am impressed with the size of the pool. But why in the frank-and-beans would anyone want to swim in a nasty old chlorine pool when they could swim in the ocean 20-feet away???




Ooooohhhh yeah... dead bodies! Silly me.

OK Eric, what about this one. I know things can be a little "off" when looking at different shades of water but....
