Stuff breaks. Then it gets fixed, unfortunately not overnight!

The South Narrabeen one is anothery .. only been online a week, when a lightning bolt frys the whole thing, computer, wind meter (and possibly the modem), so back to square one.

Pete & the crew are assessing the damage (as time allows) to see how much it's all going to cost, and then look into replacements...

We make up the forecasts depending on our social calendars, then we get the leprechauns and pixies to try and make the weather match what we've done.

Well, I try and use my social calendar, Laurie thinks this is more fun:

Yes, very suspicious.
Obviously those soft rockers from the latte side have saboutaged our meter.

After driving an hour and a half to Kurnell from the latte side, with Kurnell reading 20 to 23 knots all day. I finally get there and the wind is 5 to 10 knots. 5 other Kiters came in saying they got suckered in by the Kurnell wind meter also. Oddly there where no southerners out. The meter got what it deserved....

EVERYONE knows that the Kurnell meter readings were wrong !!

Something to do with being a 100 feet up and the heat and draft from the toxic discharge from the oil refinery !

The meter has probably rusted away from the corrosive atmosphere !
