You can be-friend Benito (bandito) to get the details ... but be careful what you wish for

:lol:
This picture should help you figure that out. Centennial is in a wind shadow on a SW.

I would be interesting to see if it's more accurate (for Centennial / 3rd Avenue) than the iWindsurf / iKitesurf Boundary Bay sensor which is actually located at Ron's cottage in Point Roberts


Thanks! I think the Terminal one would be quite accurate as it's in a great spot. The new Centennial one I not sure about sometimes.

I'm not sure either ... fortunately I'm busy with work so it's an easy decision for me
