Digital almanac uptake

Since the digital Wiley Almanac went live last month, the response from sailors to the free to download service has exceeded all expectations. The website www.wileynautical.com has been receiving over 1000 hits a day and download applications were running into the thousands within 72 hours. Once the user has downloaded the application, the site enables quick and easy access to comprehensive nautical data including tides, weather, port and navigation and passage planning information.
