Well I can tell you at 38.0778428 South we have a clockwise CE

The reporter - probably not.

There's no reporter here. The expert rote the article.

There is an Corolis effect - but it applies to largish bodies of water - like Lale Michigan, etc.

Yes. That's what the article is getting at. It is about sailing on the Great Lakes.

He didn't specify what size island would qualify for a disparity in passage between left and right.

Maybe it only applies to Manitoulin and isle Royale.

Right now about 2500Km North of me its blowing close to 180KPH and gusting to 260Kph as the cyclone goes through, and the cyclone is spinning clockwise

Note to Mac sailors: this would be a good time to double reef your main.

Or did you mean Gustave-Gaspard Coriolis?
