Think we've fixed that worrying banging sound, that kept us awake last night.
My first thought was for the new solar electricity panels on the top roof, it then shifted to the solar hot water system panel, (which is a bit loose, only attached by 2 long straps at the front).
I stood on the roof for a while in the cold and damp, didn't hear or see a thing, but wife reported hearing several "thumps".
We then noticed a concrete flower pot on the balcony rocking around a bit, choked it up to stabilise it, and so far no more thumps.
The acoustics in this house are really weird!!!!
Isn't it amazing how really good excuses pop up just when you need them.
"Sorry can't come windsurfing, I've got to stop my house blowing apart in the gale tonight."
A flowerpot eh...... hope the noise is not back now we have the big squalls again
we are up against it already and the fisrt day of the month has only just finished
I was so desperate for a sail tody I believed the forecast

looks like ive missed out on some breezes last week. 
at least i got a few waves up north. hanging for the next blow.
Looks like we got some wind comin later in the week though from the worst directions for chop West and WNW, depending on strength Fat Boys or Crawlies if some Nth and if purely west then I reckon Howards Way of Umpowered ramp?
I will be on it. it all things line up and certain people are in hospital with new offspring
i hope to duck out for a couple of hours to get a fix. Forecast is looking peeeeeerrrrrrrrrffffffffect for my local NM run. Smooth as a babies bottom on a WNW
your all dreaming! it will evaporate and dissapear untill the following weekend where it will do the same again...and again........get a sup! the sky is falling in......arrrrgh!
cor that northern pixie doesn't half make a whining noise
Cheese graters
you know you're gonna
Just realised I have a day off this week, take son to Perth then may get a sail in the afternoon.
The day is....... Tuesday, the only day with red arrows all day
i am comforted in the knowledge that there wont be any wind again
today was a hoax. full of holes at av point. ended up gut sliding in to do the walk of shame. got a couple of little runs and thats it. total water time 20min.
What time was that Mr Salty? I was half tempted in the morning when it was NW, but it seemed just a tad light, once it went WSW I decided to join hardy at the estuary
i shoulda joined you guys. got wet about 4pm and out by 430. might have to head south end of the week.
buggerit, buggerit
decided as I had the afternoon off I would go and find where the wind was although the forecast said no wind. Trees were moving a bit
Looked at the beach in Halls head and just about enough to plane on big kit but dead onshore.
Put Ping and biggest sail in trailer and went to sail.
went to Navarra, 5kts
went to Avalon bay, maybe up to 11 kts at times.
Why are the forecasts accurate for no wind but inaccurate for wind, when there often isn't any
Can you hear the wind blowing now???? must be over 20kts, why is it that it picks up after the sun goes down????

Select to expand quotehardie said... Anybody been sailing mand estuary in these NWly storms?
Will hopefully be there this arvy.
Hardz, working on the spreadsheet was a lot easier to do after the sail yesterday, doing it till 0045 this morning may not be the best for this arvies play.
Look forward to another sesh
