It was our way to try and push a sauvie sensor but that is still not happening. Apparantly, they tried to install it this year but couldn't because of a territorial osprey attacking the installers. _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34 Gman Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped Wed Jun 30, 10 1:34 pm     osprey salad sandwiches? _________________ Go Deep! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eu2pBpQolKE Kraemer Since 24 Apr 2006 1736 Posts Sky Pilot Unicorn Captain Wed Jun 30, 10 1:42 pm     True. IKite did try and install a sauvies sensor about a week ago. It was a tremendous effort to get this approved thru the bureaucracy of the coast guard; and lots of lobbying by us kiters. When they did go up they ran into a bit of a snafu. See Pic. Now it looks like we will have to wait until the bird is gone.    SAU_23jun10.JPG  Tommy Since 12 Apr 2009 225 Posts Gorbachev sings tractors: Turnip! Buttocks!

Total of 31 friends now. 31 people boycotting.. and what is the membership per year.. $120 That's $3700 a year in revenue that they could of had if they just installed a sensor long ago. Not like we begged and begged for the damn thing. They are trying at least and when they get it installed and updated then I'll disband the facebook group. FYI.. the current sauvie sensor is not calibrated correctly based on observations yesterday. Its reading way too high...like 5 knots to high. _________________ Bury me standing cause I won't lay down!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVvAw2VFR4Y&feature=PlayList&p=FB7233C37686AC79&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=34 Tommy Since 12 Apr 2009 225 Posts Gorbachev sings tractors: Turnip!

And Fort Lauderdale boycotts it... And Grand Haven boycotts it... And Narragansett Bay boycotts it... A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

Their graph style reporting and update frequency is un-equaled. Boycott; really? LOL Just be patient; reaaaaally patient. Or sign up to help setup/maintain stations. and learn to correlate data with actual conditions. (Easy way is to look at the graph after you get off the water.) Many have relied on WeatherFlow since the pager days. Yep; no cell phones, no internet; just hoist the pager up the pole at Roosevelt.    gorge_1jul2010.jpg         Northwest Kiteboarding -> Gorge / Portland / Oregon Coast All times are GMT - 8 Hours Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Northwest Kiteboarding Discussion Forum----------------Gorge / Portland / Oregon CoastFor SaleLost & FoundIndustry SoapboxCGKA  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum You can attach files in this forum You can download files in this forum
