wind over tide

[omega2]

Seems I started a furore by mentioning wind over tide, in response to Portland race. Here is another nautical term you may or may not of heard of, "What is a sparlash?" Answer posted today at 1900, if not discovered in the mwean time. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Is it a punishment handed out to employees at the local convenience store?? Paul /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Do you mean Spurlash , that great knot as shown by my first skipper as he fell overboard while trying to tie up to a mooring buoy /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Got to put my hands up, I got three different answers none of which I was aware of and Wiggo even came up with a proper definition. Mine was "Noise made by anchor as it hits the water" So I will back away (tail between legs) and bow to the ingenuity of the forum, also safe in the knowledge that as far as I am concerned wind over tide is, water going East, wind going West. Or any opposite direction.

sadly the Spurlash joke is half of Phils repertoire of jokes he tells to the students
