You might want to read my note again DSK. I didn't say that the
whitecaps were "beginning" to form. They were there when we went out and
stayed there throughout the afternoon. (Incidentally, my copy of the
Beaufort scale indicates that crests are "beginning to break" in winds
of up to 10 knots. - You must have a different version.)

"up to 10 knots" matches pretty well with 8 - 10 does it not?
"crests beginning to break" matches pretty well with whitecaps, nyet?

Jim, you're so dumb you can only be another Bobsprit sock puppet.

... Also, I didn't
say that the motorboat wakes were "bigger" than the chop, did I?

Actually, you did, indirectly.

Incidentally, my estimate of the wind speed was also based on the
opinion of an experienced licensed pilot who was with me on that
particular trip.

WTF do pilots know about judging wind speed? They are inside, behind a
winshield. Does your Mac26XM have an enclosed cockpit?



As one reference point, we noted that very few of the boats out on that
day had deployed anything other than a reefed mainsail.

Well youse guys sure are rough tough salty sailor dudes, arrgh.
