hey legless, if you're down the lake and breeze kicks in, you can 'tweet' to @boggylake on twitter. messages are live on boggylake.org

got myself an android phone. $99. love it. think i'm going to try the GPS thing next time i'm sailing.

Whats steps do we need to take to get that boggy lake wind info mobile phone number going again? that we be really handy when the forcast is average...or maybe get some cash together for a webcam :-) and put it on boggy.org... im keen to put in.
just a thought

I've been looking into that...

Wind meter: I've spoken with someone in the vicinity of the lake who may be able to provide power/internet. Will follow it up. The main cost would be in the purchase of the wind meter itself ($500+ for a reliable unit).

Webcam: Would probably require remote power (solar?) and 3G to get close enough to the lake. Streaming video may not be viable with 3G connection; snapshots ok.

If you can help let me know

I've heard a rumor that sellicks is 4m weather right now with the odd little set wave - now that would be nice

It would be nice.

Correction - 3m weather

I think most people would rather do something else than go sail boggy lake. But if you live down that way then I guess you just have to deal with the spot you've been given.

i guess some just visit when there's no wind anywhere else, others actually like it (each to their own). Either way, it still seems to pull a decent crowd

Seeing you live in South Africa...does your opinion really matter...!!!!!

You sound like you have some inner anger and frustration, is there something wrong?
