Is it Hayling Island at low water, after Global warming?

 

[Bejasus]

Hogganfield Loch?

 

[Jobs_a_ good_ un]

off the coast of Scotland some where ish

Shouldn't that be where will it be?

Naw. The sloping horizon suggests it's further south.

The sea is blue, so is the sky and there's a beautifull F4-5 trade wind blowing. Even with global warming I can't bring myself to believe it's Birmingham. Unless it's Alabama.

It IS Antlantis Marina. Open at all states of tide. Only let down by poor car-parking facilities.

If you apply a laser level to the horizon in the pic, you see that the ends slope upwards. There's only one place on earth that this happens and its on the equator as you look east or west.

Congrats to Jimi for capturing this little known, but significant, oceanomorphological feature.

 

[jimi]

aha .. but has the magnetic pole flip flop happened yet and did it cause the earth to wobble altering where the equator is?

You have put your finger on it. Clearly you are more familiar than I with the two- body problem corresponding to a gravitational force with anisotropic G being treated by means of perturbation theory. The integration of Newton-Euler equations shows that the perturbed orbit is of elliptic type, lies in a fixed plane, and its semimajor axis, eccentricity, and the argument of pericentre, obtained as functions of the argument of latitude, undergo 2_ periodic variations. The nodal period, determined with an accuracy of first order in a small parameter___ and third order in eccentricity, results to be shorter than the corresponding very general two-body problem with changing equivalent gravitational parameter.

I don't know how I lived without your pictorial elucidation. A pic is indeed worth a thousand words.

Could this explain falling over when drunk? If so, I shall explain it to SWMBO in these terms in said situation - or, maybe, hand her a print-out.

Ah yes, rarely have I seen the singularity of the bi-polar mechanism explained so lucidly and succinctly!

 

[Beadle]

If it is futuristic

Shouldn't it be "where will it be"




Just an idle thought of an idle fellow

In that case, its the Sound of Mull, where the Great Brindle Haggis loves to swim - hence the tilt! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Uh-oh! Someone's been at the communion wine again....

One night whilst sitting in the cockpit under a clear sky Stingo explained the theory of the "Polar Flip" If my memory serves me well his rendition was just like yours, almost word verbatim. Mind you we had been drinking some concoction made from berries he found in the jungle.

 

[tcm]

Amunga, was it? I had loads. Aruba? Aramubo. Antananarivo. Very effective anyway, even forgot what it was.

 

[KREW2]

Reading his post on the "how to screw up a harbour cruise" I think he's still on it. Just remembered it's brewed from elephants sh!t not berries.
