Jax,

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

What Port did you duck into?

Jax,

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

Gee, and I thought a compass would change if one's course changes.
Must not be true on whatever planet you're on.

ah... joonny? .... are you, ah, aware that a compass *points* in the direction
your bow is *headed* but tells you NOT a thing about which way you boat is
actually going?

obviously, you were not aware of that.

The little needle point to mostly north. It will be in a different position
relative to the bow of the boat if you change course. I know this is
difficult for you to grasp. Keep flailing away. BTW, I meant if
one's heading changes.

our heading didn't change (as shown by the compass and the clouds in the sky),
just our course (as shown by the gps's).

Jax,

Are you trying to say Drift?

Now lets recap a bit. You stated that you were head south, west of the
Gulf Stream following the shelve line. Your compress was What?

Your course change from 90 degrees to a 190 degrees in a eddy? Now was
this Eddy from the Gulf Stream?

Sounds strange. If you were heading South, what were you doing on a 90
degree course? That easting.

If you were drifting 190 degrees you were finally going South! Why did
you tack?

If you were driven South by a Eddy of the Gulf Stream, Where the hell in
the Atlantic were you that the Gulf Stream was flowing SOUTH?

Jax, even if it is only in your mind, Do yourself a favor and dream of
something that doesn't involves the Gulf Stream. You can't get the
"Stream" to go South. You can't go South on a course of 90 degrees!

You sure do get caught in some mighty tall tails (WHOOPER) when you
start LYING about your experiences in the Gulf Stream. We can put this
one with your other time you had the Gulf Stream flowing SOUTH.

How do you ever expect sailors to believe such BS?

WRONG!!!!


My compass points North(magnetic), regardless of the direction that my "bow
is headed".

What kind of compass do you have?
