Next message: Bill: "Re: Great Lakes Currents"
Thank you Pete. Not to late at all. By company policy I have to get three
estimates. <G> It is interesting to see different practitioners with
different methods cluster around the same answer, and the small variation.
Eddie: 1.12kts @ 143.6d
Pete: 1.2 kts @ 141d
Bill: 1.1 kts @ 140.7d (yes, this is my FINAL answer ;-)
USCG: 1.2 kts @ 141d
Thanks to all
Bill
