THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY WHALES MASS STRAND

notice all the seaweed washed ashore by the current -- the current also washed the lost whales to the same beach by Capt. David Williams read the real reason all whales mass strand I'm a retired sea captain with 50 years of ocean-going experience. I struggled during all those years to understand why pods of whales beached themselves. The only thing that made sense was that they had lost their acoustic sense of direction and swam down current in the path of least drag. This was a no-brainer for me because everything lost at sea floats or swims downstream ─ all sea captains know this. If someone falls off your vessel at night, you always look down current -- never up current. To make it even more of a no-brainer, every sea captain knows that the flow of the current washes sand ashore to build beaches so it just made a lot of sense to me that lost whales would end up on sandy beaches. To boot, the beach was where people hung out. If there are no beaches, there are no

Some scientists are reporting that a big seaquake on 30 August 2012 near Jan Mayen Island caused the pilot whales to beach in Scotland. They were mistaken. The quake that caused the beachings occurred on 11 August 2012 along the Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge . You can read my full report on the stranding at this ( link ). This page will try to limit the damage these misinform scientists have done to the seaquake stranding solution . The scientists said the August 30 quake was responsible. They did not elaborate. The only possible basis of their claim is that hydroacoustic pressure changes generated by natural seafloor upheavals (known scientifically as T-Phase Waves ) can and do enter the deep sound channel and travel for thousands of miles with little energy loss. What the scientists likely suspected was that the 6.7 magnitude quake generated a series of T-Phase Waves that traveled in the deep sound channel at 1,500 miles per hour and caught up with the pod on a
