I think I've had enough, I'm *off to write my book 'tide for dummies' I'm sure it's going to be a best seller in yottie world.
*Not a flounce I'm a bit busy and will return, sorry to see Mozzy appears to have had his identity removed, although I disagreed with him, he did at least make me think harder and try to understand how you all think and why. Edited by iGRF - 04 Oct 19 at 12:01pm |

Go on have a bash at the question ... I'll repeat it ... If you are in the middle of the ocean, no land reference with 0 knots of current and 5 knots of wind over the land how much wind will you experience? |

Your refusal to answer leads me to believe you know what the next question will be and that you will be forced to admit the answer would be the same .... at least you have progressed a bit.

Your flounce is noted, took you much more time to explain it than actually answer the very simple question.

Of course answering the question would require iGRF to show that he is not as stupid as he paints himself. Inescapable conclusion of what and how he posts is that he knows he is wrong about what he asserts...and enjoys the wind-up. |

People, you are veering into rather dubious behaviour. we were managing to keep this reasonably clear of the ad hominem stuff.

After 33 pages of proof by assertion and repetition, kettle logic and most importantly onus probandi, it was time to call it how I saw it. |

If I ever get back on tidal water, I shall carry on as before. Try and pick up favourable tide, try and get out of unfavorable as quickly as possible. As far as I can see, things like the ferry glide can be used to try and stem current rather than be swept down stream, but there is no magic button for an adverse tide to push you to windward.
