When I'm at work and I see images like this from today at my local spot...
... I feel a bit sick. I'm genuinely edgy and irritable. It's been three weeks now. I gotta get a hit. 
Is there any real difference between this addiction and another?
I'll forfeit all sorts of things for a sail or some new gear. In fact it's all I need. Yes my family does still come first, but eventually when the kids grow up and need me less...?
I'm even scoping out moving to a cheap(er) country, working remotely for a cheaper price, somewhere I can sail more often than not. Any ideas by the way? I'm looking at Turkey right now, then Spain.
evil - fellow windjunkie here :)
I am the same - I ahve started living by the motto - there always time to work when its not windy :) - works every time!
maybe we should start "WAA - Wind Addicts Anonomous"?
Hello, my name is Richie, and I'm a windsurfaholic. It's been two hours since my last windsurf, I am calm and satisfyed now but I am already thinking about tomorrows south east change.
remember that the longer you go without your fix, the more satisfying the hit when you get it.
Nah, it doesn't really work like that, does it. 
Look at it this way: You only live once.
How much does it matter to you what your great great grandparents did, how much money they made, or how much fun they had? Your great great grandkids will probably have similar feelings about you.
Don't feel guilty! Just go and have fun while you can!! And if you like this advice, why not send me a donation by PayPal? 
I agree with you all! The current forecast (from BOM) reads like this:
Issued at 3:30 pm EDT on Tuesday 21 October 2008
Warning Summary
Small Boat Alert for Canberra Lakes.
Winds on Lake: Southerly 20-30 km/h, possibly reaching 40 km/h at times.
Bring it on!!!
I tell myself, "after this really good sail, I will be fine for a week". The next day, the wind starts to come up, and it is like I haven't been out for a month!!!
I'm married, so I have effectively already given up sex...but I still have windsurfing
i reckon its huey's way to keep you stoked. if it was windy all the time you would probably get jack of it. like most other sports.
I suppose surfing is similar, but you can escape the call of surfing about 1 km from the beach. where as for WS the friggin trees and friggin flags everywhere are gonna keep hounding you that its friggin windy!!
(not to mention green arrows, SMS messages, shaky hands etc etc)
I believe I'm starting to come under addicted, Studying for My year 12 exams then all of a sudden, tree's start moving a bit, take a look out the window, tree's start moving even more, Ahhh F**K it I'll just go out for an hour and come back and do more study, 5 Hours later come back home completely spent, have dinner and go to bed...I Love having parents!
If it were a choice between sex and a sail, I'd probably choose sex, but I'd be prepared to fake an orgasm to get it over quicker to then go sailing.
