Hey remember to give Andrew a break guys. He's not a business making money out of this. He's a windsurfer like us who does it off his own back with no help or advertising which is pretty amazing given how many people rely on his site. I happen to know he was interstate last week with (his real) work. You'll be happy to know Bay Winds Page is back online

Its a great service too. Although I can generally gauge just by looking out the window, it's nice to use the charts to get the overall picture

All is fixed now... there was a hardware problem with one of the disks which meant that the machine it was mounted on wouldnt even let me log in, let alone run the scripts. Being at the other end of the country (Cairns) for work didnt help much either...

Seems to be fixed. Now all i need is some wind and a new 6.5 (mine blew apart at Rye a few weeks back) and all will be right with the world.

PS. Off to Hotham tomorrow with no internet access at till Sunday night... whats that about Murphys Law again?

Hey Andrew aka. Windjunky - windsurfing in Victoria wouldn't be the same without your site...I know it's given me many windsurfs I would otherwise not have had when I've seen the SW hit the Point Wilson chart with only 90mins of sunlight left...I can be at Dendy or Greens rigged up and waiting for it when it hits! It's an awesome site and everyone uses and relies on it...

It's a shame that sometimes you find out how much people rely on it when they have a go 'cause it's down...Keep it up, we'd be lost without it!!!

Awww.... shucks... Thanks FletcHuz.

I really only built it so I could get a warning of when its time to ditch work and head off for a sail... so if it works for others too, that's a bonus!

awww on ya fletch, thats cute man.

Nah but seriously, its a great source of information. Super helpful, and can ensure you has saved my arse a couple of times when i have just about to rig my 6.2 to call my old man at work to ask him what the winds doing, and realise a 30 knot squall is kickin through

Take it easy!
