Free Online Almanac for you all.

Wiley Nautical yesterday unveiled a brand new online almanac which is free and covers the UK and French waters.

We haven't had time to fully play with it yet, but an initial glance says its well worth some time to play with.

You can download area sections for off line viewing, which is great for those taking to the water who don't have an Internet connection while afloat.
