If Edgar wants to use MPH what difference does it make? None.

Exactly. Because the fact is, my wife and I sail all the time. We sailed today.
We sailed, I believe a total of six miles, according to the road map I use as a
chart. 3 miles was beating against approximately 11 mile an hour winds, and of
course 3 miles on a run on the way back. What was cool, this time, is that we
went into deeper waters and got some good splashes over the bow. We even planed
a few times in some gusts, and on the way back we could feel the waves pushing
us like our boat was body surfing. It was a good day. And imagine: I never
consulted NOAA or a nautical chart even once. And we both refuse to use terms
like "jibe-ho" or "helms-a-lee."
