Hi everyone.
Courtney,
How do you know that the pilots couldn't see the Mull?
I didn't include those stood on the Mull because they were actually in the cloud that covered the Mull and would not be in a position to observe what the conditions were for those looking at the Mull, unlike the yachtsman. This has been done to death over the course of this thread, so I don't intend to do it again.
I have no problem with you preferring John Day's best guess, but it still falls short, by quite some way, of those rules which you dislike so much.
I apologise if I come across as arrogant and self riteous. I would prefer those words be substituted with determined and irritating.
You still haven't told me why the rules are absurd. Why are they?
Mr Purdey,
many thanks for your kind words and for your good wishes for 2008. Let's hope the ducks do the job!
My best, as always.
Brian
