How long is a minute of Longitude--at your Latitude?

And what is the formula to calcuate it?

OZ, although your posts are mostly negative, for you it
would not be a negative number.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question. But in the process met an online
community of sailors! So I am happy.

Some of you wanted to know more about where I sail. I and my wife sail
in Chennai (formerly known as Madras) on the south eastern coast of
India. We have two sailing clubs here. One is the Royal Madras Yacht
Club (94 years old!) and one is the Tamilnadu Sailing Association (4
years old). We are members of both the clubs and sail from either.
Anyway both clubs are adjacent to each other.

We sail outside the harbour in the Bay of Bengal. General conditions
are 10 to 15 Ks of wind this time of the year. In another fortnight it
will go up to between 20 and 25 and we will be in for a season of
squalls. We will be having good swells too. About 2 to 3 metres. Not
much of tides though. We get to sail 365 days in a year! Temperatures
soar to a 112 F in the peak of summers and winters are a pleasant 80 to
85!

We have about 25 to 30 boats on the water on the weekends. And that
includes a clutch of Optis, Enterprises, Lasers and the couple of
Yachts (Maxi 77) I had mentioned. Will load up some pics this week and
let you all know.

Any one of you ever visits this part of the world? for work or
pleasure? Welcome all anyway!

Only person I know who has been to India from this group would be Flying
Tadpole (Tim). He is here only sporadically at the moment but I'll let
him know you're here.
