A really reliable forecast
Dirty days hath September
April June and November
From January until May
The rain it raineth every day
All the rest have thirty-one
Without a blessed gleam of sun
And if any of them had two-and-thirty
They'd be just as wet and twice as dirty.

Links To Software
PC Maritime Windows navigation and marine education software. This plotter/planner is a bit quirky, but seems to me far better than most at the price. It does proper planning with wind and tide, and even allows your own polar diagram for sail performance. (Hm, I must try this under Wine on Linux)
Xtide X-Window System based Tide calculator. Sadly now reduced abilities due to UK tide copyright issues.
WXTide32 Similar for Windows.
New Wave Systems The Nautilus Boat design system.
Links Misc.
The Rowing Service Rachael Quarrell's Really rather good rowing website.
