The images show the future. Accept it, Google Prophet has shown that soon your house will not exist!

When I'm king of the world (pencilled in for July 2007) then version 5 of google earth will have all WS secret spots blacked out

No I meant the reaaallllly good shops

Diff spots work on diff swells decrep

Never thought about it like that........ prolly cos I haven't used it much as I'm still on slowband and it is not worth the effort.
Then again, slowband is better than nothin, I should be glad to have *any* technology after last week.

Hey decrep you build boards, any ideas about my "how to make foam brown" post? ........... apart from the obvious

that's awesome rip in gale, with hte older version you couldn't upload gpx info unless you had the google earth pro version.

hi Zed, the images aren't updated, i have found the images are clearer now and i can zoom in further.

google earth is awesome for sussing out new spots to sail. most of the photos around my house and other local sailing spots are taken at low tide so it gives an excellent view of reefs, sand banks etc. also shows up rocks near launch spots.
