Tracy,
Berkeley windtalker was fine thru Sunday AM. My only concern, at least until recently, has been the direction report, which does seem to have true'd out lately (been fixed? - was too North, then iWindsurf broke and it was only North anyway until fixed). Then there is only that annoyingly loud "beep" just before temp reading?
Thanks for your ongoing dedication to this effort! It has certainly resulted in additional sailing opportunities to have an independent check on the other source of info. Perhaps that also explains some good but very lonely sessions I've had this Spring?
David
