Pat Riot Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 8 hours ago, Subdeacon Joe said: All relative. It is, isn’t it? I recall being in the Indian Ocean. Our ship dead in the water (not sure why - maybe the Captain wanted to see the ocean without disturbing the water) The water was still. Like a giant sheet of blue-green glass. It was about 125° F. outside the skin of the ship. It was uncomfortably beautiful. My boondocker soles were getting gooey on the deck if I stood still. I thought to myself “Now this is hot! REALLY HOT! But it’s so eerily beautiful.” A week later it was either 133 or 135° F. The ship was cruising at 15 or so knots. The breeze was stinging. I thought “Man, this is damn hot. The hottest I will ever be.” Two years later (not the same cruise ) we pulled into Puerto Rico for a resupply. I went out on deck the 2nd day in port just after noon. It was 98° F. and 98% humidity. THAT was the hottest weather I have ever been in. Nowadays when people say “It’s really hot outside!” when the temps are in the 80’s or 90’s I just smile and agree and move on. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not 130 , I am not wearing 80 pounds of gear and there is .001 percent chance of me being blown up with a IED or VBED today .
