HAPPY INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY

#Eddies are an important water feature to look out for. An eddy is formed when the main flow is blocked (rock, tree, bank, etc) and pushed to one side. The #water in the eddy's backflow can be #dangerous for swimmers or those using small #watercraft. #WaterSafety #StaySafe
