    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.

      These days it could be drones, though I wouldn't bet money on it. It's also possible the camera crew has a more capable boat.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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)!

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.

You need a minimum of 50hp on a Tinny to overcome the speed of the water..full out your barley creating forward at times. Scary as hell, but cool!

      @BatMan-oe2gh 4 года назад +12

      @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.

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
