Hello again,

Sorry this one is so late again, it’s a busy time here.

Lots of orders coming in for books and DVD’s, and don’t forget that if you would like yours by Christmas the last recommended ordering day is Sunday 20th December.

Oh yes, Sailing Weather School Part 1 is now full, but I am taking expressions of interest in the next date, which will probably be in March. So if you would like to come along, please email me at simon@weatherweb.net. More information is at http://www.weatherschool.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Onto the weekend forecast, and if you know anyone who’d like to receive this email each week just tell them to send a request to join to
sailingweather-subscribe@weatherweb.net

I may not get chance to issue a forecast next week, and so, just in case, may I wish you a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

Have a good one,
Simon
