Again I have been devestated.

Yesterday the green arrows showed a promise of wind above 20knts on Sunday!!! Woohoo!!! I even scaled back my big night out on Saturday so that I could committ to a days sailing on Sunday.


......Not even 24 hours later the arrows have dropped below the level required to blow the froth off a cup of coffee. Why do you mock us oh great huey wind god???

In fact, as I was looking at my deciduous trees this morning in the garden me thinks "... trees still covered in leaves, wonder why??". Yeah I know why, we havent even had enough wind to blow last summers leaves off the trees yet.

My theory from what I have seen on this forum is that you guys in the eastern states are stealing all our wind. It looks as though you guys have been doing well this season. And I always thought the west was where all the wind was. Lies, lies I tell you.

Comrade Qwerty

you are very wise yar !

well in the west we had only a couple good weeks of sailing which were only good for 5.8+ so even thats not a lot of wind.
i guess we will just have to wait for the enormous low pressure systems that haunts our coast during the winter. but hey take up land windsurfing need about 10+ knots and its cranking on a 5.3m sail its a lot warmer and dryer. or we could take up Knitting HAHAHA (p.s. for those that knit i am not saying knitting is inferior to any extreme sport, that uses wind in order to propel yourself forward. i will withhold that comment if it offends anyone)
