Does moving onto a Charybdis whirlpool that carries your worker up to level 3 win the game?

The designer answered this directly in a 2017 thread, and a later player reading agrees; the wording was still being refined at the time.

Yes. The designer ruled that the whirlpool carry counts as moving up onto level 3 for winning, so a worker that is carried from a lower level onto a level 3 space wins. Walking onto a level 3 whirlpool that carries you back down does not win, and the one-level climbing limit does not apply to the carry.
