Just finished a fun novel by Clive Cussler. Our hero, Dirk PItt, used
a 25 ft. Parker w/ 275 Yamaha OB as a salvage vessel on Lake Michigan.
Sound familiar??

Happy boating

Since a knot is defined as "one nautical mile per hour," I guess you
are trying to express some form of acceleration in "knots per hour."

But then, in Jaxworld, everything is a bit different, isn't it?

Sheesh, that's what you get for not bringing a boat with you. If you
get too bored with all this fine weather, drive over to Cape Coral and
I'll let you practice on my brightwork. Mrs E's GB will need a LOT of
attention in that respect, mine sure does.

I figure I'll learn by studying your fine example. The only nice thing
about wrapping it up for the winter is that you don't have to look at it
again until spring. Actually, Mrs. E. is still up north, wrapping up her
"purchase" and enjoying the beginning of the holiday season with the kids
and grandkids. I got bored and decided to drive the landyacht down to
Jupiter by myself and then fly back for Christmas, only to return again
shortly thereafter. I made the big mistake of trying to drive via the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel. After 12 hours getting there, they wouldn't
let me cross due to high winds.

Got to Jupiter today at 1 pm. I forgot how nice it is here in the winter.

There really isn't a winter in Florida, just "lesser summer", right?

Probably opposite the Upper Left, where we don't really experice a summer, just
a bit less winter. :-)

Nothing like hopping on the Harley at 8am in a tee shirt in December.
It gets cool at night - air conditioners get a rest for a few months. Days
are typically in the mid 70's throughout Dec, Jan, and Feb. with no
humidity. By the second or third week in March, it starts to get warmer with
slowly increasing humidity.

It was interesting driving down I-95 and seeing some of the remaining
effects of the hurricanes.
Many trees along the road are still bent at a 45 degree angle and many, many
homes with blue tarp roofs.

Jaxasshole admits he is stupid as a rock. Why do you not think a jetliner
can travel at 175 (shorthand knots) knots per hour (kph)? Takeoff and
landing is at about 160 in most of the heavys.

I
guess you do not like Batman, and Spiderman movies, or books. Or most
any
other movie out there. And Jet airliners can travel at 175 knots. They
do
it every day they fly. I read all kinds of books. Maybe you ought to

it. And I am even getting a Gameboy Advance to kill time on long

trips. So I even like kid games. Growing old is not an option, growing

Nope. Nothing Cussler writes sounds familiar to anything real.

More real than your writing. And a lot more fun to read.


billie, cussler has made a lot of money writing totally off the wall
stories
for little boys who fancy themselves heros for a long time.

Wasn't it cussler who wrote about the jet airliner traveling at the
incredible
speed of 175 knots per hour?

Bill,

I agree he's dumb as dirt, but a "knot" is not referred to as "per
hour" & kph usually refers to kilometers per hour most everywhere that
is metric which is most everywhere except the US.

A knot is special in the sense it's a measure of time combined with
distance in itself (when a board is thrown astern with an attached rope,
so many knots 47.25ft apart, passed in 28 seconds) or 0.5144444 m/s or
1.688888 f/s or 1.853 kph or it's a minute of latitude on the earth's
surface traveled in one hour.

It's true @ 1 knot you will have traveled 6080ft or 1 nautical mile in
an hour & then you could express that as a speed of 1 nautical mile per
hour or 1 knot, never 1 knot per hour:-)
