Elwood Sailing Club webcam (everybody knows it): www.elwoodsc.com/blog/esc-webcam-2/

BUT

The kind administrators have added a weather wall underneath the video and it’s terrific!

1. A summary directly underneath the video. Grab the slider on the RHS for more info.

2. Select the hyperlink under the summary, or go to detailed graph sets at www.ecowitt.net/home/share?authorize=9KTN77

Just in time for summer!

Thanks to the admin people at E.S.C.

Probably left there on Friday, near the picnic tables.

Fletch will take it to SHQ, so it can be picked up from there.

And we should never forget the use of brown vinegar on our foil cover zips, if they get corroded (never tried white vinegar).

May need a couple of days to clear, depending on salt build up.

Don't force. Gentle pulls only 😂

Hows this for starters? Reading from right to left, SU313070088 becomes:

0088, serial number of the board made THAT MONTH.

07, month of build (in this case, July)

13, year of build (others should be able to match the colour scheme to a year)

SU3, actual internal Starboard model number.

Comments welcome 😀

The Rye Yacht Club wind meter has been offline for some months now.

However, their system is still capturing wind data and uploading it "somewhere", so real-time measurements can be obtained here: weatherwatcher.com.au/. It might help to expand the view, then click on the arrow under the South Channel arrow.

After the box has opened, click on the "View Details" for 3 hour historical details.

Hope this helps.

Laurie,

Agree with PTFS111 re not going to the last post. Didn't want to complain, as I was shy 😂
