17 knots at 1
It started early has been 20 knots all morning. Its starting to get lighter as it warms we anticipate it to be between 16 to 20 till sunset
Possible weather station since the place has internet, do you think the outfit is interested in hosting? The Nat station works pretty damn well and HQ is also online but this would be a bit earlier warning

That would be awesome. So far the requests have fallen on deaf ears of the PAPA, who manages China Creek marina. Also, China Creek's wind conditions are more similar to Nitinat than Port Alberni , and the PA-Harbour Quay weather station /webcam helps us in town, but , doesn't reflect the conditions at China Creek, which usually blows earlier in the day.KUS wrote:Possible weather station since the place has internet, do you think the outfit is interested in hosting?

China Creek OSR by 'Girlonaboard' Kiteschool
Great article about 'Girlonaboard' kiteschool in the Business Examiner.

How's the wind today at China Creek? Hot, sunny, calm with fog bank on the Alberni canal this morning in town. I forecast wind in PA later today, with that fog snaking up the inlet from the coast.
