@@justmedontknowdoyou7860 or a Borg cube full of em’ ;) Drone footage is still a fairly new concept, I was watching surf rescue video’d with one and totally forgot... in WA they use them for beach fishing, they fly the hook out and drop it.
i love all these daring-do videos about how gnarly everything is. When actually the camera person and boat have already done it and are waiting patiently for the "stars" to blather their way through.
Did these falls years ago with our two most experienced coxn's on the helm - one with over 30 years ocean going sea experience - in two seaboats...absolutely awesome, so powerful, but absolutely scary as all get out! Even had a couple of guys jump in between the two falls - for about 30 seconds each - just to experience the pull of the water, which was apparently incredible (they were nutters though - seasoned territorian divers, who don't know the meaning of caution)!
Great footage, I have been through both on the tour boat and that was at bit hairy, great though, but I could not imagine going through that with a small boat.
id do it in my 1995 boston whaler dauntless 15. its got an EFI YAMI on the back and im as wreckless as them. but they did it and i didnt so HAIL TO THEM!!
Ummmm We do that almost once a week at Haulover in FL. With Waves bigger then our boat. Just trim it with the nose up a bit and give it hell... Problem solved
Wildest boating? No, but for the type of hulled boat you could say sorta. Those type of mini rapids are for the river boat aka jet boat styled hulled boats. All in all a good video
@@All4AdventureTV very well looks like I need to study up on my geographics. We do have a place in Washington that is very similar in layout, just not quite as narrow. Thanks for the reply and great video 👍🏻
if he didn't do that on purpose he's a dummy. He entered the moving water column from the side. He had to have known it would shoot him 10 meters to the left like he said. That's crazy. Why wouldn't he approach the opening straight on? It's seems like their human error is what made that so scary.
Crocks and sharks are the least of your worries. Those whorl pools will suck you down and keep you down like being in a washing machine on spin cycle. The sharks and crocks will feast on your bones but you'll be long dead by then.
My friends and I have spent a lifetime engaging in high-risk sports, and we still get to enjoy them because we've shown respect for the environments we're in, and have been prepared for sub-optimal outcomes. I'm struggling to understand how a PFD wasn't the most common sense bit of kit for this particular adventure. For some, looking cool is everything. Know what's not cool? A bloated corpse retrieved by divers 2 months later when the body's found. Not a great example for young adventurers who look up to these guys.
Actually the two main tourist boats that run the falls have more than two engines. The smaller one has 3 x 300 Hp outboards and the larger has 4 x 300Hp outboards, 900 and 1200HP respectively. We were up there two months ago and went through both falls, it's both insane and spectacular.
Doesn't look much worse than Hell's Gate on the Fraser River in BC, although it's difficult to judge properly without being in the boat myself. Now, if you want some *real* boating action, I invite you to visit the Columbia River Bar on a blustery day. BTW, the other name for the Bar is The Graveyard of the Pacific.
Country side is way too harsh and miles from anywhere. And why destroy a beautiful place for a bit of power? I lived in the Kimberley's and Solar and Wind are the best for that area.
@Hammerschlägen M The nearest place with people is Broome, which is 255 kilometers away, and Broome only has 12,000 people. There are only 35,000 people in the Kimberley's which has a size of 163,521 sq mi, 3 times bigger than England and just slightly smaller than California. They dont need the power, so no need to try and harness it for power. They already use Solar and Wind in the town sites for power. You really should do some research before sprouting off.
While I was in the uni, we did lots of researches on hydropower for the Kimberley, tide up to 10 meters high. as Shane said, the extremely low population and their widespread makes it economically unfeasible. Unless one day the ultra-high DC transmission becomes cheap technology there is no way to make this profitable. Or when the electricity is $10 or more per unit which I assume can happen after world war three, LOL
I just spent 4 months up there just me and the dog. I went through both the gaps a couple of times and grew up going through there all the time with my dad. wicked place that deserves respect. should have waited for the tide to ease off a bit and gone through the second gap. there's also a lovely fresh water spring is you go right after the first gap.
