Nutsy,

A reduction of a litle over 25% Now tell us of what the hell value that
figure is to a sailor?

Thom, Scotty lied, then claimed he only lied "a wee bit." 25% is NOT a wee bit.
He's busted and you really should stop defending him. It's embarassing!

Nice catch Thom, ugly looking fish though.

Scotty, who does NOT lie.

A piece of weather advice that's always proven true is "All weather is local."
Regardless of what the weather is at one place, a few miles away the wind can be
stronger or weaker. What one person gets as a gust, may hold for a longer
period just around the corner. Many is the time I've had strong winds, 25+
outside the harbor, while those inside said it was flat.

In Scotty's case, estimating 25 when it was 18 to 22 with gusts to 25 isn't too
bad. Especially when you consider there could have been a current of 2 to 3
knots that could effectively increase the apparent wind.

Scotty reported 25 knots SUSTAINED. The real report for his area shows 25%
less. He never mentioned currents and the pinhead has no instruments. Some trip
report.

Thanks Jeff, I know you and the rest of the sailors here realize that
, without wind instruments, we will generally err on the plus side of
wind strength. Even though Ponys' graph showed that I was damn close,
I see no need to justify myself to a non-sailor like bob.
Anyway, the point was that it was windy, and I had a great sail.

No, only YOU err on the plus side.
Liar, liar!
