What would happen to you if you broke down around 26 N and
79 30 W? Here is a simple simulation showing where you may
end up after 72 hrs. there are 1681 particles. see

That is real neat. Looks like you would probably stay 100, maybe 150 miles offshore after a day or two. Not too bad.

that is pretty cool, thanks Professor.

If you play your cards right you could end up in Grand Bahama! :lol:

You know I've had that happen a few times over the years. I was that little red dot that ended up in Port Lucaya drunk off my azz. The wife still doesn't believe how I got there now I have proof just in case it happens again... Thanks Professor O
