Good one Bimmer....mine was so bad...

Anyway the winds forecasted yesterday were very low and with big chances to change and so has happened today. In the morning update were completely different than yesterday one and in the afternoon update things have changed again althought more similar than yesterday than the morning ones.

As a result PR has been re-set by me, same NOR but different pic which RC will post soon. I Hope new PR is not too long and I also hope wx stay as it is forecasted now

See you later
