Another $0.01 worth: I like the concept of the new pages, putting lots of data on the map.
Watching
the wind at nearby sites is very helpful in predicting what will happen here in Berkeley. I think
the (small) problem with the North Bay map is the scale. If they could figure out a way to make
the part of the map which shows the central Bay Area larger, it would be a bit easier to pick out
the sites. How to do that while keeping Bodega and Sherman on the page I'm not sure.

Agreed. We've been noticing that too. Perhaps it has something to do with using a second server?
Not sure, but the pictures seem to be coming from another machine "images.iwindsurf.com." Could
there
be some delay associated with that?
Then again, are they still using Microschlock servers? That might explain a lot of trouble. :o)
The issue which bothers me more is that sometimes during peak periods (such as weekend afternoons!)
the server seems to get overloaded, and I can't get data for periods of a few minutes. I sure hope
they have success in fixing this issue.
