In February we received some excellent new reports, updates and plenty of feedback from cruisers. We hope you enjoy reading the reports that have been posted and finding useful the latest information on noonsite.com.
Please do not hesitate to send us your news, reports and updates, from wherever in the world you are cruising (noonsite@noonsite.com). Noonsite relies on feedback from the cruisers that use the site to keep it as up to date and informative as possible. All contributions will be personally acknowledged by a member of the noonsite Team.
Don’t forget to check out noonsite’s new Weather and Routing Forum. Launched in January the Forum has plenty of postings, however very few answers as yet. If you can offer advice and suggestions to any of the cruisers who have posted questions, please just take a few minutes to register for the forum and start what we hope will be a community of long-distance cruisers helping each other with advice and recommendations.
Thank you to all contributors who helped compile the following reports for noonsite in February.
