Yeah, but what did it FEEL like...?
In Response To: wind in area ()

Hi Rich,

After all, nobody cares about actual temperatures any more - the Wind Chill Factor is now what really counts...

Perhaps there's a similar correlation between how strong the wind SEEMED, how high the seas LOOKED, and the number of inches of water in the bilge?

Or, perhaps they were actually measuring the strength of the helo's prop wash, at the time of the rescue? (grin)

best regards,

Jon
