Which direction does the Rhine river flow in?
The river Rhine flow from the Swiss Alps to the North Sea. The Rhine initially flows north into the Bodensee (a lake) which is on the border of Austria, Germany and Switzerland. It leaves the Bodensee at Konstanz, and flows west to Basel. At Basel it turns north again, and forms the border between France and Germany. The Rhine is navigable from Basel to the sea. After Basel it flows near to Strasbourg, and then Mainz. From Bingen to Koblenz is a stretch known as the 'Rhine Gorge', which is a tourist area. After Koblenz come Köln (Cologne) and Düsseldorf. It crosses into the Netherlands, just after the border the Rhine Delta starts. Each branch of the Rhine has a different name, and none of them are called 'Rhine'. The largest branch reaches the North Sea at Rotterdam.

Why are passing boats pulled towards each other?
It could be that the people steering the boats are each looking at the other boat, and there is a tendency to turn slightly toward the direction of your gaze. The same thing happens while driving a car. It's also possible that with fewer stationary reference points, there may be an illusion that passing boats are pulled towards each other, even if they move straight ahead and at a distance where wake would not be an issue. After all, if the boats are passing, they are in fact approaching each other up to a point. The boats will point their bows directly into the others wake to avoid a rough ride. I do point my boats bow towards the oncoming boats path but not until it has passed. This is important to smaller craft because if they didnt make this adjustment, the wake of a larger boat can capsize the smaller one. Answer to the question "Why are passing boats pulled toward each other?" When the two boats pass each other the water between them flows faster than that on the outer sides. According to Bernoulli's theorem "when velocity of a fluid increases the pressure decreases". Therefore the pressure between the boats is less than that on the other two sides. The greater pressure on the outer sides push the two boats towards each other.

Did santa cruz have a tsunami?
No. However, the earthquake and following tsunami in Japan did have a pretty large effect on Santa Cruz. Because Santa Cruz has a pretty narrow opening to the sea, the ripples from the tsunami in Japan did a lot of damage in the harbor. Due to the narrow opening, the waves became much larger and caused boats to crash into each other. Some boats sunk, and a bridge suffered some damage too.
