How are we coping with the high winds?
« on: March 11, 2008, 08:30:06 am »
I managed to use my 35ft pole in 80 mph winds yesterday :o, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be but I don't think I'll try any higher than that. What about you guys, how high can you go?

If you take the spinnaker off it's not too bad.

I am just about to head out,.

Best bet in this weather is to go and do your new jobs first, it sets the tone right from the start.
"Expect me anytime"

Its not too bad at the moment just a bit gusty

Yeh... it's just cleared up here.

I'm just about to load up, and set off .

Winds picked up again though, but it's at least dry.

Well, I managed to almost clean my days quota - just 4 customers down.

I lucky, as most were tucked away in dips out of the wind. :)

i'm on the south coast, and i thought today would be better.
wrong!!
sun's out, but winds are over 40mph and its gusting at nearly 60mph.
all my current work is on the seafront, and its to dangerous to even attempt it, believe me, i tried this morning and suddenly realised that the colour of adrenaline is brown :-\
so at this moment in time i'm stuck inside bored and frustrated cos i'm not out earning!
 >:( >:(
surely this has gotta end soon??
