when you get out in what you consider "bad weather" you really still dont know just how nasty Mother Nature can be. most of us anyway, and I hope I never have to see her at her worst. kuddos to those of you in the military who had to deal with that and thanks for your service.

I know a lot of Harrier guys, and they are cool, but pretty old and break down very often. Just like boating, I prefer the reliability of 2 motors when dry land is far far away!

The biggest I have been on was 20ft on my dads 40ft fishing yacht in the Bahamas doing 20knts it wasn't really ruff just big waves

Not a massive sailing fan..... However
In 1998 6 brave sailors died and 55 had to be rescued by helicopter in the Sydney to Hobart yaht race. The storm that hit the fleet of 100+ boats was considered the perfect storm. At one point a police helicopter effecting a rescue recorded the altimeter going from 100ft to nearly zero! There is plenty of video on YouTube. Just type in 98 Sydney to hobart |

an altimeter, goes of of barametric pressure, if you are flying at say 1000 feet, the pressure of the atmosphere is not going to change becasue the water level rises or drops.... the altimiter is not the distance from the ground persay, oits more of how far away it is from the lack of atmophereic pressure. thats why you reset them befroe you leave the ground.. |
