Ok, 496 VIEWS as of right now and .....16 :?: :?: as in 1-6 people have donated $20+ :oops: I do think we have a few more regular users, in fact I can think of tons of locals you use the site, own a kazillion $$ quivers and are always on the water.....get out yer $20+, people.

I'm getting off easy here :roll: today's the last day of the Challenge, give'er yer all, let's at least get to 25 committed users! Think of all the gas you save not going to a skunky place, without cams arriving too early or too late because of delayed wind reports, the enjoyment you get looking at photos or reading the message board, the advice and input you receive, giving back to the windsport. If you feel you yourself aren't getting sufficient benefit, direct your web requests of what you'd like to see to hardworking BWDave and his team of techies and improve YOUR sailing/kiting outings :twisted:

LAST CHANCE TODAY TO MAKE YOUR CONTRIBUTION COUNT $5 MORE:
JUST DOOOOO IT, use PayPal and yer credit card, it's easy and painless!

THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY ACTIVELY PARTICIPATED AND ALL THE CONTRIBUTORS TO THIS AWESOME SITE 8)

Two more today Kus. I think that's probably about it?

21 people ($933.50) and Kus put in $140 for the challenge
$1073.50 in total (that pays for over 60% of the camera)

THANK YOU EVERYONE !! Thanks to Kus for the Challenge and to Bobson for the T-shirts.

OK, Advanced Safety, SLC Consulting is good for $120 as Sophie, Bruno and Emma also donated $20 with mine to bring us to 20 donating parties, $140 more coming your way pushing us over that grand. Please add them to the list, Dave. Thx

Thanks everyone again for your contributions on this one. Hopefully in time we will make more headway so BWD doesn't carry most of the load on these things as we maintain the infrastructure, as it were :wink:

Happy, Safe Sailing this summer :!: Now it's time to upgrade the wardrobe, pick up those remaining Nat shirts from Bobbleson. :twisted:

Hey all you windlovers out there- A very Merry Christmas to all of you!!

As I am losing my "sponsor" at the end of this month I'll be hurting for coin from here forward but thought I would try to inject another last donation to this awesome, sustaining-life-as-we-know-it website :wink:

SO HERE IS CHALLENGE ROUND #2: I will again donate an additional $5 for anyone coughing up $20 or more before New Years. If we exceed $500 I will also donate a further $20 to the OakBay Rescue Society to support them pulling our pieces of gear or sorry butts from calm waters :roll: I invite others to support me on that as well

The goal this time is to purchase two more weather stations and a cam for Comox/North Island area or Piper's as I understand it from Dave who together with his elves is constantly working to improve this amazing site.

Please see if you can find another twenty-plus bucks in your wallet for a BigWaveDave Xmas hamper :P HOHOHO Kus

Donations List: Nobody yet :oops: ...oh, here we go

Oh Yeah :!: Woohoo:

4J $52
MortonToeMike $30
MF4 $20 (more)
ShredBetty $50
J_Dog $40
Winger $100 (in January)
Keen $20
Kus $30 (AND COUNTING..)
Current Total: $342



Yessss, keep'er coming folks and THANKS!!
