Mayhaps you've noticed the paucity of functioning webcams...
(editor's note: we slapped him. Take two:)
Long Island webcams have been on the fritz lately...the Gilgo Cam was off, with a note of "bandwidth exceeded" for explanation, the Cooper Beach cam was stuck with an image from a week ago, and the Meschutt cam on the Great Peconic went into lockdown two weeks ago.
Gilgo and Cooper are back, but the bay cam is still down as of post time. I'd mention the Shinnecock Inlet station (for both wind and its cam) but it's down so often that its not news. How great would it be if it:
A. Worked, and
B. Shifted its gaze from the Inlet and looked 45 degrees to the right, at our beloved Bowl?
Pretty darn great. Good, surely!
On a seperate note, we're stoked to find not one but two mentions in the current issue of WindSport magazine. In the article "World Windsurfing Web" editor Pete DeKay writes "It's a big deal to see oneself on the Peconic Puffin, Bill's OBX Beachlife, Maui Surf Report, James' Blog or G-42 to name just a few sites." We can't speak for the other blogs, but for our part we say "we know, we apologize, we didn't mean it, we were just trying to be funny." Later in the magazine in the "getting real" column, a profile of wind Buddha maker Michael Jamieson (who is golden with the Puffin as we bask under the serene gaze of our wind Buddha we get a nod as an early fan of Michael's work. So we're stoked x2. Actually x3, as time spent on WindSport.com found lots of great new video and instructional articles...check out "Phil and Matt's Baja Adventure" for starters.
