Re: Relatively Green

Re: When Seniors Downsize.

Re: WEATHER STATIONS

So yesterday I checked all the sources for weather and the stars aligned for a ripper day on the yak. Went out only to get swept 3km N at 2km/hr by a current. I'd say the surface area for the PA14 doesnt help in this situation Now I'm trying to find a source that shows/predicts the waters current? ...

Re: How Do You Lose A Shark Or Big Pelargic?
