Jax,

You aren't going to tell us again, that you were traveling south in the
Gulf Stream.

olde fart, we were traveling south, trying to stay just to the west of the Gulf
Stream (and trying to stay outside the 100 fathom line in case the wind picked
up), when an eddy caught us and in seconds shifted our course from 190* to 90*
(as discovered on two gps's being toyed with at the time, and then confimed by
LORAN), with no noticeable change in compass heading or clouds in the sky or
change in sounds of the water going by. The two of us playing with individual
gps's each believed our individual machines had gone on the blink, until the
LORAN confirmed what had happened.


What Port did you duck into?

We didn't certainly didn't need to run to shore. We just tacked. We were
about 100 miles off shore at the time.


OT
