Reality...

The forecast is for 12-15 knots, the reality is it's 2-10 knots (when it try's hard)!

Chickens..?

Well, I counted my chickens too soon...

I wish the wind would make its mind up..

One minute it's blowing, get to Lake Walyungup and it goes.

Head to work to pick something up, wind blows.

Get home wind goes, unload buggy and kite, hose buggy off, you guessed it wind blows.

Think about putting buggy back in car, wind goes.

Sat here watching the trees sway nicely in the wind, too bloody late as I have stuff to do and kids to pick up!

Ready...

It's going to be hot and windy tomorrow, so I'm getting ready to play...

Cameras charging and the buggy is loaded...

Fathers Day...

Looks like the weather doesn't realise it's Fathers Day on Sunday...

Willy Weather...

My favourite weather website (and app) is going through an upgrade, it includes new features like actual wind compared to forecast and a wind rose...

Confuddled...

I was all set to go buggying this morning, the ute is loaded, my wife even made me a mocha to take with me. Looking out of the window there is not a breath of wind.

Willy Weather online forecast about 15 knots this morning...

The Willy Weather app forecasts maybe 10 knots dropping to bugger all...

My eyes and the trees tell me the app is right, see why I'm confuddled? Looks like I'm going to have to do the weeding!

It's on...

For tomorrow-

No chance...

of buggying this weekend - there is some wind, but it is going to accompanied by rain (and plenty of it) and maybe some thunder!

It's also blown any chance of using the new camper trailer.

Winter wind equation...

We are starting to get into the frustrating winter weather patterns...

Sun = No wind = Ozone Chrono 12-15m

Rain = wind = stay at home in bed!

The problem is I don't own a big Ozone Chrono!

Buggying Sunday...

Winds looking good for early Sunday morning.

Buggying...

Had a good morning in the buggy, before the wind swung around to a northerly...

Too windy...

Down at Lake Walyungup and it's howling! 18-25 knots. Buggied part way down the lake and then landed the kite as it was a bit scary.

The Ozone Access 6m is supposed to be good up to 25 knots - but I'm not!

It's really says something when the fully loaded buggy moves in its own!

Casualty...

The only real casualty from my OBE/roll-over on Thursday...

After

My wind-direction-ometer thingy!

Before!

Labour Day weekend...

The forecast is looking good for both Sunday and Monday mornings, should get a roll out this weekend...

Sunday...

...20% chance of a shower and winds 10-12 knots, looks like a 10m Manta kinda day. The Utes loaded and ready to go...

Life can be hard...

...when your trying to do things while keeping everything crossed so the forecast doesn't change.

Buggying...

After a long winter break the weather is finally spring like and it is looking hopeful that I might get out with the kites, buggy and board at the weekend...

I will still need to fit a weekend run as well!

Winter...

The 1st of July and the first day of winter, only three months until spring!

The wind forecast for the week is pretty rubbish, looks like more free-ride mountainboarding and the kites staying in the garage (I guess it can always change)...
