Sorry, I was trying to explain why it is illogical to attempt to outrun weather patterns in a vehicle that thunders through the waves at 5 miles an hour - A kid on a Huffy can outrun you. Sheehs, a fast walker can "outrun" you. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) I didn't say out run anything. I thought we were talking about the difference between 5mph and 7mph over a distance. That's a significant time difference over a longish distance. Not really. It's not a different of days, at least. 200 nm at 5 knots = 100 hours 200 nm at 7 knots = 71 hours And if running from a storm you are running into a lee shore and shallow water - just before the storm hits? Pass... Sorry Jessica That was supposed to be 500 miles -- Richard Lamb email me: web site: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb |
