Yup. We just have to remember that it's not really a BWD forecast, but more of a BWD interpretation of the MM5 model. All I am doing is picking out their data for various sailing sites. Also, the data for the lower mainland is likely questionable since it is a complex area. We know from experience that the model forecast is good for Columbia, fairly good for Gordons and not so good for Cook street or IV. I think the lower mainland will be slightly worse than Cook, but we will see. It is just an extra tool that can be used.
