Pacific currents and the Kuro Line described in voyage notes
An extended extract discusses a powerful westward flowing current off western South America, its blue to dark hues, and interaction with Humboldt’s current and the equatorial counter current. It links this “mighty river” to the Kuro Sine or Black Stream of Japan, charted by Capt. Silas Bent and tied to Pacific navigation and broader ocean circulation. The piece also includes a personal anecdote about a lodge visit and a poetic interlude reflecting on life choices and moral resolve.
