Cool site, thanks. So it was more in the 18~22 kt range, and my ''like
25'' comment wasn't too far off considering I have no wind
instruments.

Imagine..... a sailor exaggerating wind speed a bit .

A "wee bit???"
IF you had 18 knots it's nowhere NEAR 25.
You as dumb in math as everything else!

Thank you! Now, do you dare work out the percentages? How much less wind by %
is 18 vs. 25?

If you're a Republican, the answer is "I said 18, even though my
opponent is unpatriotic."

If you're a Democrat, the answer is, "It depends on your definition of
vs."

Percentages have nothing to do with my comment!

Scotty admitted he lied about wind speed and you're still living in the past?
