not "various" components. *two* componants.

AND I did add them for you (not *you* personally, jeffies, for you couldn't
understand the answer).

jeffies, just where did you say you got you arts degree in physics? Mind
sharing with us you SAT Math score? Was it above 325?

Saying the current is the sum of various "components" is the start of the
problem. The "math problem" is knowing how to compute the sum of the
components. If the captain asks the navigator to give a course, given a
current, the answer is not, "it has a component from the south and another
from
the west." Ask someone at the Power Squadron, they'll show you how to do it.

jeffie, knock it off. I said a current of a little over 7 knots towards
045
against a speed of 5 knots south would give an easting 5 knots.

I also said to make 2.5 easting would require a current component from 180
at
5
knots and a current component of 2.5 east.

I also said that with a heading of 190 one would make *some* directly
easting
with a current of 5 knots at 011.

I said that in the very first posting. jeffies, the very first posting.

Let me guess, *you* with your claimed arts degree in physics from Potatoe
State STILL don't under that that completely and totally identifies the
solution.

Can *you* implement the solution? Hell, no. You don't even understand
the
solution. but the solution was there and the rest of the world understood
it.

Jaxie, saying there must have been a current from the southwest is NOT
"solving
the problem." You can repeat it over and over, but its is NOT solving the
problem. And you didn't even try the second problem.

The fact that you don't even know that this is a navigational problem that
can
be solved by a variety of methods is truly pathetic.

jeff, the problem was solved within minutes of the original posting. It
is
now
several days later and you STILL are chasing your tail trying to tell us
that
you understood the solution but you didn't understand the solution but
you
did
understand but you didn't but you did but you didn't but but but.
