why one needs an anemometer .

Ours was dead for awhile, almost left it that way. Barb
calls it the

sometimes... ;0)

www.sailinglinks.comSomebody commented that wind speed is good for Internet
bragging, but then it's always 25% higher than reality.
BTW, I just checked the buoy report, it was blowing 18 - 20
, with gusts to 26 mph, on Sunday. I * knew* it was
''windy'' !

Yeah, but what was it blowing on the beerfort scale? Beers falling
