Following email from Peter Ho at manamana at 3:30pm today:

Hi Sukdev

The day started a little milder and has built up to this now. Bill is on a 5.9 m sail. He is now fully planing most of the time.

Sukhdev, got SMS from Pete this morning. small waves and wind not so good today compared to yesterday (mon/09). will be there with phong this coming (Friday the 13th)     at work seeing the NE puffy cotton clouds dashing above this morning...see in A2    mahaloh

[sukhdev]

aLOHa, weather map looks so so...the area I've circled shows depression probably building up, if that happens all bets are off for next few days..lets see what happens tomorrow and thurs. pray! pray!

Sukhdev, tomorrow's chart looks good. depression dissipated. another one developing further away located at 120E, don't think it will affect much.

Positive signs in the northern hemp, another round of huge super cold front swooping down from siberia again. reported that in taiwan, temp. has went well below the 10 deg C mark. in tokyo, very unusual snow around this time of the year on the warmer pacific-side coast. beijing's temp is also expected to slide further down. okay okay better not analyse anymore just pray pray for howling winds and rolling waves for the coming next few days in manamana. ahhhh...tolong tolong....!!!

Talk about depression!!!
You want to be here in UK where it's really cold and depressing

[sukhdev]

damn cold? hmm..now you know why I gave up on Uk after 8 winters there..my rule now is if its too cold for the coconut trees its too cold for me

[162]

And when the coconut trees start to scratch their 'b*alls', it's bound to be an awesome day at Manamana...........

[<aLOHa>]

yah scratching the nuts is ok, but not 'til when the coconut trees start holding onto their own nuts!! ah huh...you've better leave your own precious nuts hanging under the cabanas before heading out......hah...hah..hah....

sorry guys i do apologise if you don't understand "what the hack" about nuts are all about, go vist manamana and find out yourself or will let our chief de mission Sukhdev to explain those co-co-the-nuts.....about.

btw, weather charts look good for tomorrow, better cheong..ah...
