Useful web sites.

[Joe_Cole]

Other than this Forum what's your favorite/most useful websites? For what it's worth my recomendations are:

http://seaboard.ndbc.noaa.gov/Maps/United_Kingdom.shtml
Great for armchair sailing when you are stuck at home and want to see what it's like down by the boat.

http://www.hydro.gov.uk/notices_to_mariners.html
Equally obvious, but we do need to get those chart updates. I just wish that it could be made a little easier and quicker....particularly for the Folio editions

Interestingly I've never found a good site for either a Broker or a Chandler, and I would have thought that they have most to gain by doing it properly

Regards

Joe Cole

Nick,

Thanks. I've often wondered how it was done!
I've edited my original posting and they are all clickable now.

Re: Useful Italian web sites.

Here's a few in Italy for you (in Italian, hem!).
The first is a general sailing site but has info re regattas, cruising etc.
The second is a goos weather site for the Adriatic, providing links to the Croatian and excellent Slovene weather sites (in Croatian and Slovene, hem hem!).
The third, which is newish, provides info on marinas, weather, places of interest in the Adriatic and Dalmatia in particular. Also in English.
