Water is I think 784 times more dense than air, so is it fair to say that there would be 784 times more drag?
I doubt that is correct but any beginning water skier has been drug behind a boat as it...

Re: Man Overboard off Puerto Rico -- 7-Hour Swim to Shore

Re: Man Overboard off Puerto Rico -- 7-Hour Swim to Shore
