Don, I think it would follow under the “slow but sure� column. I guess it would work under the same principle as a swimming pool pump and filter. Sort of...

The problem is the amount that sinks to the bottom and collects on the

pretty fast. That is why I never go by something floating without
stopping and picking it up. That may be our last chance to grab it.

Overheating your motor may be one of the least damaging things a bag
will do. If a turtle eats he, he will usually die.

True. Not a lot of turtles hereabouts. A rare Leatherback is observed
sometimes.
