Are you saying that if the wind and current are from the same direction
at the same speed, then boats could not sail?!??!!

Think it over Jeff, a guy who is familiar with applying Maxwell's
equations... much less one with your experience... ought to know the
answer.


Ah Ha! I got it! If you want to sail you set the anchor! OK, now I
can go to sleep.
