Our key advantage on VALIS is that, unlike other boats, where the cosine
of the course only goes to a paltry 1.0, ours goes to 1.1.
You see, your speed toward your destination is proportional to the
cosine of your course. When other boats point straight at Hawaii, they
have 100% of their speed go toward Hawaii. We get 110%. This has been
proved scientifically by comparing our GPS speed with the knot log, and
Palu and I agree this is so.
Math. Uncalibrated Instruments. Awesomeness.
