The model is currently teasing me with a SE for CB on Friday. IV, rumor has it, is the site of the polar bear swim this year. That would mean ...no parking and loads of people with hypothermia :shock: Have to wait and see what the wind does but I will be ready with chili, hot apple cider, and someth...

As impossible as it is ... it sure would be interesting to see how Dave's models derived from the U of W data .... have diverted dangerous situations for the people that make their living from ocean related activities.

Thanks again...
