weather

for those of us who live in Western Nova Scotia, the accuracy of the official weather forecasts has been a source of irritation for decades. A common saying is " ..... they'll starve you, scare you, or drown you" Though it is one of the worlds busiest fishing grounds, there is no weather radar   coverage of any sort on areas Lurcher, Browns Bank, or Georges Bank. There are two sites that help, www.passageweather.com , and www.magicseaweed.com They both gave forecasts for a week or more, while the Environment Canada one gives three days max, which is not a lot for a slow sailboat
