Free Stuff

Everybody likes free stuff, if it's worth something. 

Below you'll find some worthwhile stuff to have that you can get on the internet FOR FREE!!  And it's legal. 
Hurricane Tracker You'll definitely want to bookmark this one.  Always pay close attention to the weather and especially to hurricanes and tropical storms.
Free Downloadable Printable NOAA Charts Your government makes these for you - technically, they're not free, your taxes helped pay for them.  But others take them and print them out and then SELL them to you.  Print 'em yourself and save!  Or just look at them on your screen.  There are several navigation programs that use these charts, Cap'n Voyager and a free one listed below among them..
NOAA Charts from NOAA This link is directly from NOAA and you have to follow a few steps.  Read the instructions.
Weather Watch
Seaclear II Navigation Software
Tales from the Scuttlebutt Sea Stories - looks like it might be fun.
On-Line Boat Math Calculator  Calculates Hull speed, Speed/time/distance, Swing Radius, and much more.  After it makes your calculation, it shows you the math.  Fun.
 
A whole page full of Boat Design Shareware Haven't tried it ourselves, maybe someday.  Scan down the page to which the link takes you  to find it.  Down the page a little farther is a link to boats built using their free Boat Design Program.  Another fun one.  Something to do in the middle of the long, cold winter.
Please E-mail us if any of these links are broken.  Also, if you have any good links yourself for nautical shareware, or any other free stuff, or if you have comments,  please let us know. Click on 'Contact us' at the top of the page for e-mail addresses.  And Thanks!
NOAA Tide Tables Just click on your state, then click on your city - read the chart, or copy and print.
