- That's the only way it's going to get better. COTW is pretty much
one guy, there's no way he can be at 30-40 sites. Jim welcomes and
relies on this kind of input. If you think the sensor is off let him
know. In general, I've found COTW pretty good during typical weather,
when it gets hot all bets are off. For the penisula direction is
really important, I only believe the readings if it's nnw or nw. I
don't sail Chrissy much so I can't comment, but
I know Jim has said in the past that getting accurate data at
the current site is pretty impossible. It's by far the most inaccurate
sensor compared to what's happening on the water.
