Subject: 3rd_chan sensor broken??

Since the 3rd_channel sensor went on line, its readings have
tracked the SFO readings to within a few knots, nearly every day.
(The correlation to Coyote is less good, to 3rd_beach much less
good, all as we knew from sailing there.)

But today we have a normal late-wind day (SFO 21 kt, Coyote 18 kt,
3rd 10kt) but the 3rd_channel sensor has been stuck at 8-9 kt all
afternoon.

Can anyone confirm that there was normal sailable wind at
the channel marker this afternoon? If so, the sensor is busted.

Thanks,

Ken Poulton
