I've tried to join this site, on and off, for 2 years and it never let's me in.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you get the validation email?

No, but I get the odd advert. Not in spam folder either.

I never do very well at this but as I work for Volvo I should make the effort! I'm under NeilB.

I'm in. Finally.

And out.

It's just a silly video game, no skill or wind prediction involved. There doesn't seem to be any wind/sea temp/tidal settings that I could be bothered to find.

This is why I don't play play stations.

Wind direction and strength is shown and can be seen for quite a few days in the future, at least on the ios app version. There is a scale of hours on rhs of screen and zoom in a bit to see direction and strength.
