I have carried my gear with me in my work van since 2002. I only took it out when my daughter pranged my van and I don't trust panel beaters not to nick it.
Last week, after what seems like months of no wind I was seriously considering taking it out and putting it in storage :-(
But behold! Thurs, Fri, Sun, Mon all forcast for over 30knots with sat around 20! I feel that feeling again
