hey Bart, check out this short video, I was actually

trying
to snap a pic but accidentally turned on the video

button.
It may be hard to see, but there were plenty of white

caps
around me.

I don't think I've ever seen white caps in any of

this
pictures. It is safe to say he never sails in winds
over 9 knots.

On the contrary, it would appear that I've hit a

nerve
in his little
mind. All he has for a life is his fantasy that
everyone is jealous
of his stories of great sailing, when we all know

he
is
just drifting
around in a "strong" 10 knot breeze.

Nice one Scotty. I've done that too, taken a video of
whales when I was trying to take a picture. I'll post
when I can.

Thanks for the infomation. The small chart seems to work
ok. I noticed the big chart got the magnitude wrong.

Small shows less than 5 knots while the big one shows
35 knots.
