Yup, 100 miles offshore, and winds no more than 70 knots.



As understood, you were reading those notes for entertainment value. The
"100 miles offshore" in "70 knot winds" was obviously intended as
entertainment. I really didn't think it was necessary to explain that.

You probably ought to consider that note in context with a number of
other notes in which I emphasized that I wasn't going to go out in heavy
weather, but intended to be prepared for whatever came, and that I was
going to return to port early if weather conditions changed.

In other words, the 70-knot wind note was obviously a joke, and if you
weren't trying to put me down, you would have acknowledged that it was a
joke yourself. - But, of course, you are tryng to put me down, so you
won't.
