Why don't you try sitting on the sand and use you logic to stop the tide from
coming in and drowning you.

I certainly wont. Andro the Anti, being a mere engineer, cannot understand the
difference between a physical quantity and a graphical plot....the latter which
is of course dependent on the scale coordinates used.

I take that to mean you accept that wavllength, like all lengthhs is iinvariant
and absolute.

Tides are waves with a wavelength of 12,500 miles and a period of 12 hours.
If the speed of one's boat is ~1000 mph one can stay on the crest of the
wave
and never see the sun set on the British Empire. Concorde could do that,
it's faster than any ozzie boat.
Why don't you try sitting in your coracle and use your half-a-brain to surf
the tidal wave around the Earth?
