The observant among visitors to this site will have seen the email subscription option in the right hand column.

Every day the system sends an email which lists newly posted items on a number of relevant Australian cruising sites. It makes for a very convenient way of keeping up with local cruising news.

If you know of other sites which should be included, leave a comment with the site details.

Here are the sites currently "monitored":

• Alfreds Cruising
• Sail-World.com Cruising Australia News
• Skipr's Notebook (this weblog)

as well as the following weblogs of Cruising boats and their owners

• Crystal Blues
• Diomedea
  
• Te Moana

For those "in the know", this is a "mashup" of Feedburner's email subscription service, the Planet aggregator and the sites listed above which all provide"feeds".

I just "opened the front door" to Skipr.net. There is still some more testing to do, but I thought I'd make the site public while we're doing some more testing. Beta testers will get their log-ins on Monday. There is still much to do. My current priorities are:

• Implementing the new design across the site.
• Giving boats the ability to define a cruise or cruise leg.
• Improving error trapping and reporting.

Anyway, here we go....!

I need to produce some documentation for Skipr.net and have a way for users to be able to provide feedback. So here I go with another Blog!
