Frank's Weather Site

My weather website is now the major component of the MailASail “Weather Window", http://weather.mailasail.com.  This is intended to become a collection of weather sites compiled by experts combined with the MailASail efficient data (free) download services for WiFi, cell or satellite phone.

My domain name, www.franksweather.co.uk, will take you instantaneously to the Home page, http://weather.mailasail.com/Franks-Weather/Home.htm ; ClaraNet and Tiscali bookmarked links will be transferred (almost) seamlessly direct to the relevant site page. Obviously, users are advised to bookmark or save (but remember to update) any pages needed frequently.

All this is a result of my teaming up with Ed Wildgoose whom I have known for a number of years. MailASail offers a variety of services for (mainly long distance) sailors and explorers in the form of advice, installation and commissioning services for communications equipment. Ed has a cruising background.

Apart from a general, much needed face lift and more consistent formatting, pages will be much the same as hitherto. Benefits to users will be easier navigation through a side bar, better links between pages as well as those on my improved home page. This is now much easier to use as a site guide. To me, the benefits are a permanent home and easier updating.

Other sites to be incorporated will include one by Chris Tibbs, author and experienced oceanic sailor who trained as a forecaster; Chris has been the weather router for a number of sailing races. He regularly offers weather advice and training for the ARC events.

There is still some slight tinkering to be done but, otherwise, I am up and running in my new home.
