New VSK4 sites - wind and current information??

Suggestions for the next VSK version (and VSK bug reports)

Postby sunburn » 22 Sep 2005 11:20

You all probably know 6 new sites will be there on vsk4 :
- Vancouver
- Rio
- Valencia
- Marseille
- Napoli
- Qingdao

I'm helping Nadeo editing wind and current effect for each one.
I know very well Marseille, will have some very good information from Valence. Peelman found this for Vancouver.
But I have nothing for Rio, Napoli and Qingdao!!
If some of you have some information, it would be great to give it to me!
Thx a lot

looking for hard copies of tide table and charts then i guess.

google for "tide tables charts your-site" will take you to websites and publishers. Could have helped with Marseille, will have to look if i have Valencia lying around. But better would be if some folks could copy the charts and mail the to you.
(yeah that's ilegal :) Legal would be to look at the charts close the book / lock chart away then draw by hand..

Though in dutch but maybe a start here's where i always look first. harbour colleced sites

So you can understand:
haven = harbour
weer = weather

One of the big items Nadeo will have to consider is that Vancouver is a huge port on the west coast of NA

Lots of good info & pics here.

If you need more on Vancouver let me know as it's home base for me. I can look out me windows to the N & see English Bay as I 'm just above Kit's pool.
