I've had a pig of a gust knock me flat... a pig of a woman too once, but that story's not really appropriate for this forum.


Ah so that's it, pig of a gust, pig of a woman, pig of a boat, what next I wonder..

ahh Graeme, when we meet again at Broxbourne I do hope it's light winds... you can have the benefit of your lithe frame, I can have the benefit of a dinghy that doesn't stick a bucket seat of laser junk into the piss on every roll tack....

I may be missing an "in" joke here, if I am just ignore me. LOL

Molecules are measured in moles or more precisely millimoles. Water molecules weigh less than oxygen or nitrogen molecules. A given volume of air can only contain so many molecules. If air molecules are replaced by water molecules = moist air less dense than dry air.


I once had a race scuppered by a fish.

I have no idea what is right or wrong here. But if this is diametrically opposed to what GRF says...

Don't go bringing facts into this ... iGRF does not deal in fact ... only hearsay, exaggeration, assumption and of course mierda de toro ...
