In Response To: Skin Friction reduction (John Umlah)

: Hello all: I was wondering, other than producing a baby smooth surface to
: reduce frictional drag is it appropriate to apply a wax, similar to that
: used on a surfboard, that would decrease the skin friction on the wetted
: surface.

: Al thoughts are welcome,

: John umlah

Hello John,

I just spent last Saturday wandering around Long Lake Provincial park with my dog. I came across the "john Ulmah" cemetery and the ruins of an old farmstead on the old St Margerets bay road. I was doing a google search to learn more of the history of this location. Have you been out here? Are you related to these folks?

Sincerely,

David Peyton
