NIGHT WINDS - 1. A general affliction certain windsurfers suffer from which may result in a motorhome sleep-over ban to the pup tent 
2. Also the unnerving scenario when you wait for wind all frikkin day using up all known and imagined family credits only to be in the dark when the wind finally kicks in
3. Emily Bronte's- Night-Wind
In summer's mellow midnight,
A cloudless moon shone through
Our open parlour window,
And rose-trees wet with dew.
I sat in silent musing;
The soft wind waved my hair;
It told me heaven was glorious,
And sleeping earth was fair........
