Weather courses?

[Marlowe]

Hi,

I'm new, sorry if this is in the wrong place!

I would like to send my Dad on a course to learn about weather forecasting, does anyone have any recommendations? We are in Essex but willing to travel! Thank you x

Simon Keeling posts valuable stuff on this forum and his courses have been recommended:

'fraid not...just we only used to sail in the Clyde and Inner Hebrides but he's now got a yacht of his own and seems determined to find the most remote place to visit, keeps banging on 'bout the weather, so thought I'd get him on a course for Xmas!

BUT...I do remember sitting off Tighnabruaich in "a light breeze" when I was a kid... the light breeze was making me fly off the seat, so I'm probably still scarred!

Depends whereabouts in Essex ur. Could try the Nottage Institute in Wivenhoe (N.Essex) or any of the RYA recognised training establishments that are dotted about the place. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

After this summer's official forecasting performance, you should seriously consider standing in line with the rest of us as we finger a piece of seaweed hanging on the marina master's door..
