Actually it does work.

Your wrong. It doesn't work to calm the seas. What's the definition of
"Seas"?
They are large waves. Oil can do nothing about calming large waves. Oil only
calms the
surface of large waves. The large wave under the surface remains the same.
Oil reduces spray from the wind is all. Duh! Use your head you bully and

an ass....

When actually working under those conditions you will appreciate the lack of
spray from the cresting waves. There are those that teach and those that do.
I suggest you start doing and stop teaching. You might learn somethin' mam'

Well let's see... on the one hand, we have a fake usenet 'personality'
quoting various BS to claim that an oil slick only "calms the surface
of large waves" and this is worthless. OTOH we have people who have
been there, done that, and say it works.

What a dilemma, whom should we believe????

You should believe me. I'm talking about facts. I give links to facts.
Other people are talking about some old sailor's tales. Nobody here
alive has even used oil to calm the seas. They all just repeat gossip. They
think gossip is Gospel. Duh!
Sorry but ya'll need to lose the quaint sailor's tales and stick with the
facts. It's OK to repeat such foolishness in the name of old times sake but
don't buy into that nonsense like it's real for Heaven's sake. It's the same
as actually believing Slocum used an old alarm clock with no second hand
he boiled in oil as a chronometer. Can you say gullible?

Neil, you knucklehead,
Ive seen it work in a real working environment... Granted it was not
intentional but oil spread just the same and the result was a smooth
swell..Obviously it does not get rid of the swells but it keeps the wind from
blowing the crests over resulting in a rush of white water.

It's Ellen and your wrong. Didn't you read the post called *the truth about oil
calming the seas*. Didn't you read where it talked about breaking waves in an oil
slick. Duh!
Here it is again in case you never saw the post or your newsreader never posted it.
