That brief interlude with spring is all over…the claws of winter have crept back in. Rain and wind dominate the morning as we max out on 16 degrees. 25 knots of south easterly is decimating anything in its path. Bondi was a sloppy 2-3 foot. Not a sole out. Says it all really. Back to work. How about day-dreaming about those Maldivian island paradises. 28 degree water, clear blue hues, islands the size of your backyard. Oh that’d be nice right now. Real nice.
The swell is going to pump up bigtime tomorrow. I’d say 6-8 foot and from the east – surprise surprise. Unfortunately the winds will originate from the east as well. Hell onshore combo. This weekend looks big but super windy. Think I saw 40 knot squalls predicted for Saturday. Batten down the barbie lids.
Uge,
love your site man but don’t fall foul of those dynamic/changing/flashing advertisements… no matter how much they pay.. you’ll loose the likes of me if they consistently appear and I’m a pretty solid demographic I’d say. They’re a scurge to the earth and should be outlawed/blackbanned… your site should remain in its beautifully enhanced, visually appealing state, not transform to some sorry commercial throwback from Vegas!
Cheers,
Dave
Dave thanks for your feedback. i really do appreciate it. I have to say not many people have objected to advertising on my site in 9 years.
See, this is the deal. The site costs money. About $30k a year to just have up and run. Oh, and it takes time. ridiculous amounts of time. to be exact about 5 hours a day. So with the $30k walking out the door on hosting etc, and 5 hours a day (everyday) I need an income. Like you. I like eating food and having shelter. So, really I need ads to survive. Otherwise I’ll just have to shut the sucker down. Which would be a shame.
I try and choose ads carefully. Things that are really relevant. things that I like. Like skydiving today – I like.
I was going to change a subscription fee…but that ain’t what I want. I think keep it free and out there. So the price for a small ad, and hell, you might just like the service or product offered, is a small price to pay I think. Thanks again, Uge
