On the top, click on Weather, then scroll down and look on the left hand side under Help. Click on Arrow Colors, change setting to

Red = Strong Wind (18 Knots+)
Green = Light Wind (calm)

There you go green arrows right through the week!

I, too, have to share the blame, having lots of new, untried, equipment.

In the old days, we'd call this "The Gnotuk Curse" but nowadays, I don't suppose many of you know what "Gnotuk" is?

Why is it my fault? I'm sure it is, but just not sure why?!

Thinking about it, I bought a new 9m in early march and the weather has been **house ever since. I take it back. It is my fault!

I gnow Gnotuk. I was going to drive down there now, but there's gno wind. Damn this curse. About time some of you other come out of the woodwork and shouldered some of the blame. Afterall, my board and sail are both 2nd hand, I could understand if they were both gnew, but they're gnot. This is gno laughing matter.

Looking at the trees outside, there is some movement. I am going to go and see if I can sneak in a sail. Wish me luck.

Sputnik,

Gnotuk and low-velocity South Easterlies do not work, unless you like schlogging 200m back to shore in the wind shadow.

Why can't you wait and sail on Saturday like the rest of us? Again, don't do it at Gnotuk, 'cos the wind shadow is now from the opposite direction.

Surely you Gnow these things?
