gomangosteen Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 (edited) The drift current south-north isn't what I'd have expected having snorkeled and kayaked often in this area I'd have predicted N-S. The body drifted almost 15km in 48hrs, and relatively close to the shore. Anyhow, pleased the body has been recovered for family/friends.

KhunBENQ Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Russians coming here seem to be completely unaware of their surroundings and dangers. 10 out of 15 foreign motorcycle deaths are Russian. Almost daily Russian drowing/washed away, selfie death etc. Or is it just the mere number/majority they form? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
