I was on the Swift trip 2 in 2004. I'm coming up again this summer. Going on the Grace trip 3. Nathan http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=329 Thanks for the info - I'm sure others will appreciate it as well. I'll certainly have a look at that. I'm actually thinking of creating some weather pages similar to the screenshot for a selection of coastal ports in the US and Canada and then add them to a list of weather resources here. If I get to doing that I might do a bit more research using this info first. http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=328 I neglected to give you another related link yesterday. It is usually supplied to those who have finished the course that I mentioned, but may be of interest to you as a research source. It has links for Canadian sources under the international sub-section. There are a variety of things provided there including sea ice. http://www.ametsoc.org/amsedu/dstreme/junction/ It is a good jumping off point for weather materials. KPBOSUN http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=327 You have started out on a grand project. You are certainly not one who is short on ambition. I had my introduction to meteorology in the early 1960's both the academic at the Academy and the practical at sea. You have seen a couple examples in my photo posts. During the years that I taught secondary school I also took some more formal courses. The art has changed immensely since I first started. The last course that I took was for graduate credit, but was provided by the American Meteorolo http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=326 I feel a bit like I& apos;m in grade 5 again - For my holiday project I did... But that& apos;s basically what this was - a holiday project to build a better weather reporting system for my web pages - and that& apos;s exactly what I think I& apos;ve managed to do... The new system used feeds from a myriad of sources and I can easily add more. Basically each feed builds up whatever data it can into a central summary object that then reports it all out. It uses the Lat/Long to http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=325 I'm in search of someone who can Rope my Helm,any suggestions ?local if possible. Thanks http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=324 Feel free to use the photo :) Sounds like a great time to be had if you can organize it! http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=323 Yeah, I think lots of people likely have at least [i]some[/i] Vic-connections, and I see utilizing them as well [i](perhaps)[/i] to the benefit of all. As just a small example, I have the contacts that I hope submarine and Oriole tours will happen, and I'd have no problem if say a dozen students were joined by a few local friends if there was interest. But this is all preliminary, right now. Ahhh... so are you the WebMaster here, Scott? I'm actually glad I got you, because I wa http://www.bosunsmate.org/forum/index.php?action=view&id=321 Thanks... Yeah, I know about the prep time and I gather many kids arrive Sunday late afternoon. But that's why I mentioned "touring" and gave a few brief examples of possible venues. So I [i]still[/i] don't know if [b][i]your[/i][/b] "extra time" was [i]only[/i] for 'to make the start of the trip' (necessary time to make the trip isn't my version of extra), or you actually spent time doing Victoria-area things of interest. If you did, were th
