4. Look at a map. It's twisted so there is a portion where the Pacific is Ea

5. like this

888  Atlantic
 88     8888 
  88   **  88   <----- right there (**), you'd be able to
    8888    88
  Pacific   8888

6. Okay, makes sense now, I kind of figured something like that

9. Doesn't apply.

I've spent plenty of time in the area, it curls to the east, but it is already in the Atlantic where it curls -- or Drake's Passage, depending. Not the Pacific.
