Anyone planning to head out?

I am right down the street. Dead calm.
You might want to wait til 3pm or until it blows to start driving.

Looks like Fay might revisit us on Friday. This forecast looks a little far fetched but you never know strange things have happened before.

but I saw TS Gordon do some funny things back in 97 as well

Looked at Accuweather last night and it showed some good winds in the am out of the east. I guess they can be wrong from time to time.

Should be an interesting 48 hours.

Skyway Scott 08-18-2008 08:57 AM

A forecast wrong? (especially regarding a hurricane/TS)
Say it ain't so. :rolleyes:

Poker party?

I saw wind forecast last night starting at 6am in the 20's. Nothing crazy and actually died out in the afternoon with a pickup again. I figure it wasn't going to be bands yet, but just an easterly flow starting before the bad stuff gets here. Considering AW track record, and with the storm still far away, it might be something worth checking in the am.

Not ditchin AW, and I certainly wasn't implying riding winds over 40. Just didin't want to sleep in with it going off this morning and missing it. No big deal, AW was simlply wrong on this one. Completely understandable.

Can everyone relax. :)

Skyway Scott 08-18-2008 10:18 AM

Who is not relaxed? I think you take stuff a little too personal. No need to defend why you thought there might be wind.
I also think some of you guys put too much faith in a computer model. It's crap in, crap out. Every year we bet on where and when stuff will hit.
No one ever gets it right.
Funny stuff if you ask me. It's impossible for me to take forecasters seriously.

anyone else planning on a night ride?
i shoudl be off around 8 or so (depending on wind)

Skyway Scott 08-18-2008 11:50 AM

yeah, call me or Tom.
It's currently honking in the keys. http://www.iwindsurf.com/windandwher...113&siteID=312

bryanleighty 08-18-2008 12:23 PM

"hehe" = not being serious...



forecasts have been all over the place the last 24 hours..

inferno 08-18-2008 01:26 PM

looks like we will get pounded by the rain before we get any decent winds...

man the radar looks ugly......

i guess if it shifts to the east more we wont get as much rain (or wind)
