Bob Hall Wind Sensor

Slog n ride dawn session, Saturday at Port A on 5.6 and 84 Twin. Got six turns on one long clean chest high wave, then it got so light I couldn't waterstart. Glug glug.

I think the direction of the Bob Hall wind sensor is off by 10 degrees or so. I'm not sure how to describe the direction. It's 10 degrees too anti-clockwise if that makes sense. You might think 10 degrees is irrelevant, but it can make a big difference between the decision to sail at Packery or Port A in a Northerly, or whether Packery will be too on-shore in a SE.
