Hi guys, I'm planning a vacation on Corsica, in the Mediteranian sea, may 20'th to june 9. I'll mostly be making daytrips from my car. Does anyone know of a radio station giving weather forcasts for that area, in any other language then French? I know enough French to order in a restaurant, but not enough to follow a fast speaking Frenchman. Any info would be appreciated.

I have not found any stations for corsica in particular but you should be okay with the Deutsche Welle forecast (on that page, it is in the "Europe category"). It was enough for me in Turkey (to get in trouble with some real 7-8 Bf instead of predicted 3 Bf), it should work for you as well. :-) To give yourself some exercises, here is the written weather forecast of the Deutsche Welle: http://dw-world.de/german/0,3367,4216_A_492451_1_A,00.html The scheme is always the same, so you should get used to it pretty fast. Depending on your position on Corsica, the "Ligurisches Meer" or perhaps the "Tyrrhenisches Meer" are for you. To get the most recent frequencies of Deutsche Welle, go to http://dw-world.de/german/0,3367,3912-0-0-5_SS_28,00.html and select the (javascript) Link "Liste der Kurzwellenfrequenzen" on that page ( I refused to turn on Javascript but it should get you there). Hope this helps a bit. Cheers, Marian PS: in the seewetter_ausland.html page, I found "Grenzwelle 1.696+2.677 kHz at 06.50+14.33+18.50 o'clock" in the France category. You might want to try that as well as some stations in the Italia category. -- Marian Gunkel Berlin, Germany http://www.mariangunkel.de *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
