The pumice around Tancha bay: Video one

Video 1: A webcam situated above Tancha bay has caught the interesting dynamics between the tidal currents and the wind over the last few months. Wind- and current-induced motions are often acting at the same time and can be in similar directions, opposite, or anything in between. Videos taken from the webcam footage shows the pumice being beached and refloated repeatedly.
