So, the event of the BBQ/bon fire is almost here. We should probably start making a list of people that are particularly bringing stuff for the bbq. Im going to start with me, im going to try to get my friends collapsible bbq. But, does anyone have a bbq at home that they will like to bring? Lmk if u do and if u could bring it. Im also gonna bring a cooler. Mike if u could still bring the cooler like we talked bout yesterday that will be great. Im also gonna bring the canopy this time(lacey ).
I'm bringing my small BBQ and some beers. Might need a new propane bottle or two for the BBQ though, I'll pick that up at Safeway when we meet up

1/4 mile = 1,320 feet

25 yards = 75 feet

That's a big difference! I really hope your second estimate is more accurate...

First off, you DIDNT fix it. You misread the way I wrote it. It was said that a 1/4 mile was 1,320 ft. I said that was a statute mile and a nautical mile was 1,500. Meaning a 1/4 of a nautical mile was 1,500 ft.

Secondly, while technically you are correct (a nautical mile IS 6076.1 FT or aprox. 2019 YDS) its rarely used in that respect and is almost always rounded down to an even 6000 FT or 2000 YDS to simplify navigational math.

I kinda sorta do this for a living so I know what Im talking about. If you'd like we can also discuss arc to time conversions and how that applies to long distance transits, say over the atlantic from Virginia to Spain for instance.

1st. You don't need to newb bash here. I simply noted that your initial post said "a nautical mile" and not a quarter of a nautical mile. Call it a grammatical correction if you must, but the statement was most definitely more true with my correction.

2nd. No amplifying information needed

3rd. No amplifying information needed

Haha, all in good fun my friend. Didn't mean to push your buttons, if I did feel free to come have a beer with me at my house on Tracen Petaluma one day that I'm not underway. I as well "kinda sorta" do this for a living.
