The Yucatan Channel
Anyone ever hear of the Cuban countercurrent in the Yucatan channel?
If so is it all in Cuban waters? I can not find much on it..nothing on the pilot charts I have. Joe |

Joe And you probably won't find much about it because the countercurrent isn't a surface current. It consists of a deep southerly current near the coast of Cuba between about 500 to a thousand meters. You'll never know it's there unless you drive a submarine. Wilbur Hubbard |
