    The Archbishop of Canterbury has partially got his way - British weather has been declared Muslim.

    Kayak speed

    Hi Chris,

     

    I had every intention of getting that particular data for my P13 on Saturday. I clocked myself up to about 6.8 mph with the wind at my back and running with a slow current. That is just from memory. I originally only cared about the distance that I was to paddle. When I got home- (I was in a hurry to make it to the church) I realized that I left the sat receiver on and screwed up my average. I was still getting a signal traveling down the A61. I won't tell you the top speed that I documented. The overall average came to 7.1 mph for 3 hours paddle (and drive home). I'll get it right next weekend.

     

    I've seen various posts on another site for hull speed. The details were :yawn: interesting but too scientific for my taste. Basically it's in relation to length, beam, and displacement. Here's one.... Hull Speed

     

    I'm afraid I'm like Chaz. I just like to paddle :)

    I also didn't want to hijack the thread.... I'd like to join in but I'm not clever enough to use the software I have available. Tried some yesterday and it was complete cr@p. So what are you guys using? I tried some of the edting from flickr but it doesn't seem up to par.

     

    Brilliant idea BTW.

    im more interested on how it works, i couldnt find any info on it that states clearly, is it like those computers that can interpret brain signals ?

     

    Same here Andy, probably less likely to find information on it too. Technology like that I'm sure has many uses and they are likely not to share.

    Swan deaths from lead weights - Fishing Ban demanded

    This is historic environmental lead. Smelted and defused lead particles stays in the environment for thousands of years, of that there is no doubt or argument.

     

    Coincidently, Bewedly was a site for pewter manufacturing.

    Most other mentions of lead as found, in reference to waterfowl lead poisoning, point directly to lead shot and weights. I was not able to find many other sources of lead ingestion or inhalation in my web search. Which isn't to say that other environmental factors (such as lead in pewter) are not to blame.

     

    As pointed out though there has been a significant deline in the use of lead in the last 50 years. With the exception of China...
