ocean conditions are changing due to Rapid Global Climate Shift

ocean conditions changing cause of Rapid Global Climate Shift kids

song lyrics and politics are verboten

 

"...sits down and quits rocking the boat" - or at least straps those double-Ds down so they don't throw us off kilter...

 

see
boobs are ok tho

now we're back on subject
thanks



Now this girl is a perfect example of why increasing wave height is an important concern for boaters. While clearly the rest of you have not had the pleasure of taking some such beauty out for a romp on the water I for one have heard my share of "slow down" ( holds onto boobs and looks back with a pleading look ) they're to big. ( waves that is not boobs ) while out water skiing on a sunny day.

 

I unlike dick cheny haven't shot any of you

 

Who is Dick Cheny?

 

Dang, Bos! To be honest, Hoyt, the first thing I notice is the easy smile. You just don't see that on a liberal with white pursed lips.

 

I go for the nice down home wholesome girls Hoyt
I'll get the money shot eventually but I want it to be a private showing

whats interesting is that in the areas of the oceans experiencing the largest increases in wave height the dangers to multihulls becomes an issue. Those things don't bottom out so well were as a v bottom or trawler type would survive better. If the trends continue in the direction there going eventually the popularity of multi's might just begin to be effected. Granted so far the areas most effected are not in multi territory but that could change fast.

 

I though t cats were taking off everywhere. Not so?

 

Boston: Don't let your wave height data influence anything about your boat build. That's just silly. The seas are the seas. They've been there a long time and they are always going to be big, mean and dangerous at times, while at other times, completely calm and docile.

That's just the nature of the ocean and boats.

In many ways, it's more up to you to make your experience on the water a safe and pleasant one, not up to your boat. Just about any boat will work if you have experience and understand weather.

Get out of CO, get a boat and start building experience. You're delving way too far into theory here...

 

Cat is making sense again. The world is possibly flipping poles.

 

I would think the 40% increase in average large wave height discussed in that first article I presented would extend the amount of time a boater would need to avoid the weather. If it happens enough your avoiding so much of the time it kinda might make sense to just build accordingly and do a little less, but still cautiously avoiding the weather.

 

Na... that's really not it. Take it from me... I was a science guy and a software guy professionally. Data was my life, so I know where you are coming from.

I changed that life many years back and made my hobby (sailing) into my career.

All I can say is that the weather that determines what you have to deal with on a boat is a local phenomenon. An overall 40% increase in average large wave height means nothing to you, on your tiny little boat, in one tiny little dot on the planet.

What matters is getting a good understanding of weather, knowing how various winds and currents interact and making the right moves so you have the best conditions possible.

Life at sea isn't about battling the sea... you'll always lose that battle.

It's about minimizing the beating you might take. The skills to minimize the beating are: Weather, currents, boat handling, planning, etc... Plan properly and you won't have to worry about the 40% *global* increase in wave height. Why? Because the only thing that matters is what's happening in a 200NM radius of your boat or so.

Finally, wave height means nothing. Huh? Yup. You read that right. It means nothing at all. You can ride up and over a 1000ft wave. It's how steep, frequent and if the wave is breaking. That's what matters. So, I'll stick to it. You need to get out and get experience on the water, or simply just forget tying the 40% wave height data to your boat plans. Wave height, alone, means very little.

I'm only saying this to try to help steer you away from added stress. Worrying about that data will ruin your boat plans and steer you away from a boat you might like.

 

Hey, that's how the independent/moderate mind works. It makes its own decisions based on fact and logic. Sometimes it agrees with Righty politics, sometimes it agrees with Lefty politics.

We can all agree on boats though.

 

What do you think about submarine rivers?
