And I think it was little old me that first raised the question on this NG
of strong winds for the weekend whilst all of you were still getting excited
over a couple of cms of the white stuff!!

You should have been out on the sea yesterday, that's when you really
appreciate "nature" at it's most fierce....the waves were huge, in between
the swell when windsurfing back in you could not see the land when in the
troughs....

Anyway currently this am wind is only F4 - whilst the inshore is forecasting
SW f6 - 8 weather reports and picture at
