Hi All,
My name is Steve and I live on the island of Guernsey, in the Channel Islands. I work for a boatyard located in the north of the island, and I have installed my own personal weather station at this site so that I may share weather information for anyone interested in this area.
I enjoy both drone flying and aerial photography so I thought it would be useful for me to have a station monitoring the conditions at this end of the island, away from the southern end of the island and airport where the island's meteorological station is, and where of course I am not allowed to fly my drone.
It took me a lot longer than anticipated to get my station up and running because I was waiting on some modifications to the building where the station is now installed, and hopefully soon I will have a weather camera feed live from this site, feeding images looking out of the marina area towards the east, and the neighbouring islands of Herm and Jethou.
I found Jachym's template basically by pure luck when searching for website designs, and Meteotemplate has allowed me to get a site up and running so easily - thank you so much to Jachym for all of his hard work.
St Sampson's Marina is a physical location, not a business, the marina itself is owned and operated by the government of the island through their own Guernsey Harbours operation. Naming it after the physical location was just a method for locals and visitors to be able to easily identify where the station was based, and fortunately the domain name was still available.
I hope to add some weather related photos as we start to settle into this new year.
Kind regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Welcome to the forum, nice camera image of the marina, that camera is mounted very high up, what's it on? Is it drone footage?

Welcome Steve. Nice look to the site. I also like the picture and wonder where it was shot from. Again welcome to the forum from New Mexico in the US.

Re: Hello from Guernsey
Thank you Johnny and Jay for your messages.
The place holder image that I am using for my weather cam was actually a drone photo that I took in much nicer weather.
My real weather camera will soon be mounted on the end of the large shed in the boatyard on the right hand side of the inner marina. It will face out in the opposite direction from the current photo.
Kind regards,
Steve
