"In the Southern Ocean,
Antarctica
and
around Cape Horn, every day we rely on Xaxero hard, and
soft ware for us to cope with the enviroment and make the right weather
decisions
After using Weather Fax
for windows for 6 years on a number of yachts including the 2000
BT Global Challenge, and now Skyeye for 2 years with the New
Pelagic Australis covering 48,000 nautical miles in 22 months. We
sail in some of the most inhospiable and remote locations on
earth, Xaxero products stack up as being brilliant.
Product up-grades,
reliable 24/7 help support, all made my choice so much easier.
Jon, Chris and all the
team at Xaxero, thanks for all your ongoing help, advice and products."

I am
extremely happy with the performance of your Sky Eye product
that I purchased in March for the Volvo 70 yacht Movistar. It was a
great asset to have for our voyage across the Southern Ocean and up the
Atlantic. It is certainly the best satellite imagery software I have
used.

I bought a SkyEye satellite
receiver and software from Jonathan Selby at Xaxero
in January 2004 which has given me hours of useful weather satellite
images and
information. I noticed a problem with the receiver 3 weeks ago and
contacted Mr
Selby who immediately asked me to check connections on the installation,
they were all checked and found to be sound. Mr Selby then agreed to
replace
the complete unit free of charge – and within days the new unit arrived
- I am
once again able to view the weather images around the Durban coast.
Good
products are backed by EXCELLENT service.

"I and
many yachties in Chagos really appreciated the real time images.
The weather in the Indian Ocean is very changeable, and even the radio
net gurus can't see the weather systems as well as I could with Skyeye
aboard. Coupled with my Inm-c I became the local weather alert station
for boats in the atolls and even those on passage east and west from
Chagos. I know of at least one or two who will probably get Skyeye when
they get back to a less remote place.
Skyeye allowed me to suggest anchorages that would be less exposed to incoming weather, tracks that would minimize disturbed weather, and departure timing to make passages safer and more comfortable."

"Your software I
must say is absolutely top notch and it makes meteorology very
easy whilst on the
boat. Thank You,"

"A
final note to record
our thanks and grateful appreciation to Jonathan Selby for the
"Sky
Eye" real-time satellite weather updates. They have been invaluable and
have given us incredibly accurate weather forecasts." Jennifer Murray -
