I sh!t you not, I once saw one windsock at Hervey Bay airport showing 15-20 knots a complete 180* to a second windsock showing 15-20. How can you ever expect to forecast that one...

I was under the impression that BoM relied heavily on NOAA models and that ceased to be available to them under the current US Administration.
I believe this site as well as Willy Weather gets there information from sensors measuring for the BoM. My observation is that the forecast become acceptably accurate closer to the day of concern.

On the actual day nothing beats looking out the window 😎

Yes kinda like eat less calories then you spend..

Sometimes, just sometimes, its out of ones hands. So do you just give up something you love?

Have a look at those contour lines. Thats not nothing, And then no survey data in the middle of an entire ring of tight rising contour lines .


Draw your own conclusions and sail on if you like, but I know where i wouldn’t be.

Im not convinced bluetooth makes it any safer or unsafe.

if there were to be a thermal runaway or any other dangerous state, you'd have to be there looking at the information on your app otherwise is going to be too late.

Bluetooth is just a nice to have for proper/normal battery management.

The real annoyance..... their annual license is now the costs of the old perpetual license.

I bought an app based logbook for work that cost a one off $80 period. A few years later it became a $125 a year subscription. While I get there’s constant costs in customer support, upgrades, updates etc, I was happy with the version that I bought and it’s just an excel based program anyway.

Navionics was the same. You bought the program, downloaded the area you were interested in (all of Aust if you wanted to) and it worked perpetually but without updates is you didn’t pay the annual subscription which was $19. Now if you don’t pay the annual subscription of nearly $100 it becomes unusable.

i enjoyed some hobby CNC work, but I can’t justify the annual subscriptions anymore.


The problem is literally everywhere.
