Re: Sea temperature
hi john sabourn #25
good morning, considering even the greatest bastion of the left the guardian newspaper recently has brought attention to darwins theory of evolution, But at the same time has trouble with the answer what is a woman, even though genetically the differences are astounding to say the least and its those simple differences which has seen me throughout times in my life chasing them in hot pursuit, But there is now new evidence and challengers to the basic theory altogether and it is one that actually involves the god aspect just as a example the hadron collider in switzerland when experimenting with smashing the atom to see the outcome the eminent scientist peter higgs came across a particle that nobody could name, peter higgs named it the god particle.

Re: Sea temperature
I could enquire further ,but would run the risk of maybe embarrassment for some less broadminded so will let someone else ask , I have various alternative names which would maybe suffice , but caution is the better part of valour . So I disappear into the sunset with honour intact. Cheers JS
Re the Pre era to the Darwin period, the first life form from the sea according to a lot of Scientists was that form which evoluted into birds , now if you remember Cappys adventures in the land of Oz and all his mis-demeanours started and finished with him falling for an Emu who he so harshly left her with young chicks , so does give some credence to the mutual attraction between Cappyites and birds be they Dolly or otherwise.
Cheers JS

Re: Sea temperature
hi john sabourn #32
good afternoon, your caution is well advised as i fear that the uproar of the sanctimonious whom may not be able to hold their testicles from going in if they where to hear such abrasive language, But onwards as i was not privileged to meet cappys beau whom he met whilst traversing the ausie outback but there are plenty of stories and sightings of his strange companion with long legs with some people saying she had a feather boa around her neck and went by the name of eunice which cappy says he shortened to emu such a endearing term to call ones love, but as you say he shipped out and left the poor bird with a brood of chicks and everyone looked like him , but he always promised he would come back and get her name up in lights on the michael parkinson show when he was next there. i suppose if you asked him now about her he would say it was the heat that got him.
as for the first evolved animals being fish and birds yes im aware of this fact and also the nine species of man some whom actually lived in trees but we cannot discuss things like that these days, one of my early girlfriends was a catholic school teacher and she used to explain everthing about the birds and the bees.

Re: Sea temperature
Sorry for the delay in reply Rodney my laptop was in for repair.
Don't particularly want to get into US politics as such Rodney and certainly not saying for one moment that Al Gore is corrupt, certainly
not as politicians go but as far as I can remember he made his millions by selling his shares along with his business partners at the time in his TV Channel, books and film[s] His Internet input in ARPANET, [ Advanced Research Projects Agency Network] is to be commended. He is a business man after all and I have no problem with that per say just don't wish anyone's ideals foisted upon me when I and many others don't agree.
Where he didn't fulfil his abilities was IMHO in not becoming President which I rather hoped he would have at the time. Hey Ho we got Bush Jr instead.
The only word I would retract from my original post is 'suddenly' as I didn't realise he had been nursing his belief in climate change along with many other views some say 'nerdy' whilst still a Freshman.
F.Y.I he and his wife separated in 2010 so lord knows if their plane still exists. Certainly his oldest daughter might as she is quite the climate activist herself.
PS Feel free to voice your opinion on any subject you like Rodney world wide or not, most of us do. Your subjects are always well resourced and appreciated unlike the resident code brown subject who copies and pastes willy nilly and insults wherever he sees fit towards the UK in general

Hi James. I only wish I had came across this when first went to sea. Marine Auxiliary Machinery by W J Fox.

Re: Sea temperature
From what I remember it boils about 48C in a vacuum in the sea water evaporators we had on ships and rigs they did not have a perfect vacuum. Many ships and rigs now use reverse osmosis where sea water is pumped at high pressure through a membrane to filter out the salt.
