Hi Rudy, I'll be watchin' out for you on the Cams :-):-)

I've just had a look thru 'my archives' of jibe City captures from the last 6 weeks and this was the best pic I could find of the boards they are using at the moment...

Well Rudy How's the windsurfing going ?

Still plenty of 20 knot + winds around :D

any chance you could remind Jibe City to clean the webcam each day, it's getting quite schmutzig due to the sea spray :-/

let me know what time you'll be at Jibe City webcam so I can post a Pose :)

Well, I never made it to the cam the other day.Wind was good early so stayed out while it lasted.Yesterday the wind stayed up all day.My blisters are starting to show, so the sailing has been good.Today is Tuesday, not much wind..oh well off for a dive.

21st 1718

& Monday

22nd 1253

I suppose a few no wind days is good for letting the blisters heal, looks like the winds are getting better for next Tues & Wed
