I tried that about two weeks ago--it was reading SW16-17-18. Conditions were
barely sailable (5.2-6.0) for me at 140#. The other day when it was raging
NW the readings seemed to be dead accurate. I do not mind making mental
corrections to the numbers, but there seems to be a lack of consistency.
Last night it went to 20. Was it really 25? Or 18? Anybody sail there last
night?
