She's been really hungry the past couple of days, which I don't really understand because she's clearly not wasting away. So, I gave her a bunch extra tonight, and she's sleeping it off.

Sounds disgusting, right? This is the point of desperation whiffy sailors have recently reached after 11 sweaty days at sea. “One pungent smell compounded by another strong aroma often creates a super smell that can make your eyes water, or in some cases make you just flat out cry’’ - MCM Nick Dana Almost every concoction, chemical and fluid on board has been considered as some kind of means to eliminate the manly odour that is emanating from the sailors’ suffocated pores with an almost visible waft. Sure, baby-wipes and deodorant are helpful, but they are no match for the funk of 11 men confined inside a Volvo Open 70 without a shower, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing’s Media Crew Member Nick Dana said. “One pungent smell compounded by another strong aroma often creates a super smell that can make your eyes water, or in some cases make you just flat-out cry,’’ Dana said. The opportunity to open the hatch and let some much needed fresh air inside the cabin has been somewhat limited Dana said, as the team have been forced to put a mesh curtain across the opening to stop water from washing inside. “We trap the mank of 11 men, 11 sets of wet foul weather gear, and at least 11 portions of freeze dried food that no one will touch due to the surrounding stench,’’ he said. At the same time the team are nearing the equator, temperatures are soaring and the stench is gaining a life of its own. The increasing problem has led several team members to explore their options. Watch leader Craig Satterthwaite has gone for a simple solution. “I use about a half bottle of baby powder for fast effective relief,” he said. But his team mates have shaken their head in disapproval. Bowman Wade Morgan suggested the team accept the odour. “I just embrace my sweet smell, it’s easier to come to terms with it than it is to fight it,’’ he said. Perhaps the most curious of considerations documented by Dana was that of, also known as Junior. “I even noticed Junior one day smelling himself, then smelling the Tabasco sauce, smelling himself again, and then staring at the Tabasco sauce with a very deranged look,’’ he noted. As for Dana, well he says he has succumbed to the inevitable. “It’s a never ending battle, but a losing one if you ask me,’’ he said. “In fact, when you think about it, the harder you work to combat it, the more you probably perspire and in turn stink!” It’s a vicious, and very smelly, circle.

I don't think you're likely to hear your blower struggle but think about how much more restrictive your filters are and how much more quickly that would fill them with trapped particles and how much more restrictive that would make them. It could probably be expressed in some mathematical formula where your filters that are rated at double the microparticles clog up in one quarter the time. Yep, true fact I just made up.

Click to expand... So, the logic is that it's better to get a filter that doesn't work well because then it won't fill up? Just take the filter out, then. That fits the model of cheaper with better air flow. Alex2507 said: It could probably be expressed in some mathematical formula... Click to expand...

Click to expand... For ultimate filtration, it would be a multi-stage design, with each stage more restrictive than the preceeding one. Great filtration - no clogs. Hey, we could have something here! Don't tell anybody; we might be able to patent the idea. So, keep it between us. Wait a minute...

There's no need to take a gun when you walk yours. Something tells me you don't change your filter all that often. Just a hunch.
