Subject: Gulf Stream Myths and Worse

BG Didn't think you'd be able to understand a simple KISS principle.
OK, just for you, Jax .... Don't rely exclusively on the predictions you get
from various sites regarding eddies and various minor changes in direction.
Know the "basic axis" of the stream, where possible get updates on this. If
possible, get information on the "walls" of the stream (older sources used to
give this distance from the main axis).
When route planning, never lose sight of the "basic axis" and use those
updating predictions for eddies, etc. to fine tune your courses when possible
(noting the varying nature of the eddies, etc.) while maintaining contact or
distance from the "basic axis" of the stream.
Hmmm, probably still beyond you since it involves some basic navigation.

shen says, "Don't believe it if you want to know where the Gulf Stream is",
but
"don't believe it is you need to know where the Gulf Stream is".
anyone know what the heck shen is trying to say _really_ say?
