Weather Widget

A weather widget has been added to the web site. It’s below the menu.
I chose a Tempest station near Johnson Harbour on the east of the bay. The station near Hibou is off-line. If it comes back on line, I’ll select it instead.
The current one has wind speed in km/h. It’s what the owner chose and I can’t change it to knots.

Forum Disabled

Back in 2015 we included a members forum in the web site. It had two categories: “Buy and Sell” and “Tech Tips.” Buy and sell hasn’t been used for over a year. Tech Tips was never used.

I have deactivated the forum. It no longer appears in the menu. If there are no objections, I’ll remove it completely.
