Let's get the bad numbers out of the way ASAP. They are fives and tens...this weekend's forecast:
Sat: SW winds 5 to 10 kt.
Sun: S winds around 5 kt.
Surely we deserve better than that!
Now some good numbers, I guess: This week The Peconic Puffin hit three numerical milestones: the 500th post, the 1,500th comment, and the 250,000th pageview. I didn't start the Puffin for numbers, but I like that people check it out.
I'd like it better if we had more wind. SW 5 to 10?
Congratulations! what good numbers! yay! yes, it's a glassy still, grey North River here. Little puffs coming in from the east, of which I'm blocking some. xoxo c!

Maybe we need a wind sacrifice? Or at least a week in Hatteras.

Frank, we need something. A wind sacrifice I hadn't thought of! But Hatteras is increasingly on my mind.

I am always entertained by the posts. I got hooked by the old school hatt vid w/the punk music and guy shaving. You guys are pretty hard core.
Thx,

Ah, the Mark Skelton videos from "Kooks of Hazzard" and Kooks part two. Even today they remain my favorite windsurfing videos...that's what windsurfing feels like to ME! Go down to OBX, stick your head in Ocean Air Sports and ask if Mark is around...if you're lucky he'll throw one of the Kooks tapes into the VCR.
