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.

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.
