As a professional yacht captain or crewmember, there's a very good chance that you use PassageWeather on a regular basis, as do many sailors around the world.

As more and more people use PassageWeather, the costs of providing this service are growing and I'm having a hard time keeping up. The bandwidth and processing on the server has increased to the point where I have to upgrade the server again, and it's getting very expensive. Up until now I've been able to cover all server and bandwidth costs myself, but traffic has increased and it's getting harder to keep up with it.

This is where you come in.

I know that there are many professional yachtsmen out there using PassageWeather on a regular basis. If you're one of them, please consider making a small donation.

Once you've donated, you'll receive a receipt that you can put in your yacht's expense accounts. Compared to the rest of your yacht's running expenses, this is just a small drop in the bucket, so please consider helping.

Help support PassageWeather and allow me to continue to make this site freely available to all.

With the amount of money that you spend on your yacht, making a small contribution for something so important - and that you use so often - is a small price to pay.

It's incredible how much money some yachts spend every month on expenses like fuel, dockage, food, laundry - the list goes on. Some of them even spend a small fortune on things like flowers... Flowers!... Surely something as vital as reliable weather information has more value than that.
