Hello Sandman,
If you're like me, you consult no less than four different weather services and then check out all the bouy data. When it comes to wind velocity predictions from the local radio or TV stations, I was once told that they are always right, BUT when they say it is going to blow 20-25 knts. -- you have to add these number together.
Funny, with all the available data and modern technology, we still couldn't communicate clearly on our cell phones and we found ourselves talking at the dock instead of fishing the boulder batches on Cuttyhunk -- next time!
Brian Vanderhoop has a home based unit -- with that comes the inconvenience of hearing (and everyone else) "Brian, Brian, Brian, I know you're out there! Bring home some milk and bread when you're done."
