Since Mr. Olsen has done all the intricate calculations for us in order to get the most accurate course distance, I will change the published Suffolk 100 distance to 92.5 nm. Okay Feathers, you can now put down your calculator & pencil AND start waxing your Lancair, maybe this will add the one knot you 'lost' from the calcs you did for us... -grease "Lorn H.
