How wet is your water?

[jimi]

I've noticed the water in Scotland seems wetter than that further South, is this something to do with its moisture content?

Doesn't it get wetter the hotter it gets?

The water in Scotland is actually no wetter but since it is mostly contaminated with whisky it has a lower surface tension and thereby spreads more rapidly and has a greater wetting effect. The alcohol evaporates more quickly, giving a cooling effect, which enhances the difference.

It's allegedly all Alex Salmonds fault.

It because it is softer. We have a water softener at home, and the water feels very wet.

Don't know about your water, but your wind is certainly heavier than down South.

If the water is too wet it may be too concentrated.
I can sell you some special solvent to thin it down.
It's very expensive because it's for marine use.

If you find your water is too dry, just try adding some of this stuff. :encouragement:

Water is only wet on the inside of a boat.

It has fewer solids in it.
