sorry, nav, a figure of speech. I forgot you don't have the capacity to
integrate figures of speech into coherent thought patterns.

A cat is not a vector.

speed is a scalar, velocity is a vector. rather different breeds of cats.

Then Pat is living a sheltered life..... for it has been theorized in many
ports the vessel Overproof has frequented... that the Captain must be a
great lover!

yes I know, that information was lacking was the very first thing I said.

yes I know, that is the point (no pun intended)
Scout

no it wasn't the point. the point was the question lacked sufficient data
to
form an answer.

btw, a point is not a vector either.

a dot is not a vector.

Which ever Jaxxies.... it's obvious that teacher had better credentials than
the person who instructed you in sailing.
