What happened to NWCruising.net?

[dhays]

I have used the distance tables on that website for years. Tried to check it today and got an error message. Anyone know what happened to it, or where a similar resource could be found?

Only thing I know is the domain is showing as "pending transfer." How long has it been missing? My thoughts are perhaps will resurface soon.

I don't know what they had there, but many distances are shown here.

https://nauticalcharts.noaa.gov/publications/docs/distances.pdf

Table 31 is for much of the area.

The time and distance chart on NWCruising.net is much better. I printed it out and it went on for pages, put it in a binder and keep it at the boat. The reason it is better is that there are many more places listed from Olympia to SE Alaska.

Well, it's not better at the moment as it's not reachable. Not better for other places either. Of course a local time and distance chart is more complete. I just offered an option if it doesn't resurface. The site is now resolving to justhost.com.

Yeah, fortunately I had printed out some of the pages. It was really excellent for the Puget Sound area. It would be nice if someone could take over those pages.

Thanks for the link BandB. I’ll take a look.

Do you have shareable PDFs?

Accessible with March data through Wayback Machine. Maybe this will help some of you.

You may be able to find what you need using the internet wayback machine. Here is the last capture of the website: https://web.archive.org/web/20210329053326/https://nwcruising.net/

It doesn't always catch everything that was on a site, but sometimes it does. Good luck!

Excellent find BandB, thank you.
The Wayback Machine, a blessing and a curse.

My understanding is that the original owner, Capt. Carl Tenning, is/was trying to sell the site (at least the domain) and information. I would imagine that he's found the information to be of value, but not necessarily the .net domain. Wouldn't be surprised if the Waggoner Cruising Guide is looking into purchasing it...

And the .com version of nwcruising is for sale for $2400. Waggoner would certainly be logical. Of course, each day down lessens the value.

The distances between ports is interesting, but I can lay down a route in Coastal Explorer and learn everything I need to know including rocks and currents. I can’t say I’d ever use if it was available.

BandB, thanks for finding and posting that link.

I’m curious who the kind soul is that salvaged that information and made it available?

Though I know Dick about how it works, I suspect it was just a web address change. Domain? Is that what you call it?

Apparently they owned several domains and just let the .net go. I don't know beyond that.

This domain is being transferred to a new host. Just getting too much for me to handle. The original version is still available at salishseacruising.com
Hope this helps.

Hello Carl,


I've never had the pleasure of meeting you but thank you so much for those distance tables. I use them a LOT. They are a real service to those of us that cruise the Puget Sound.

Capt. Carl -

I would also like to say THANK YOU for all the hard work you did in compiling cruising distances and times for the PNW! I use it often in my route planning.

Your work has been one of the most useful quick references I have experienced in my boating life. It has been listed in my favorites of every device I have owned for quite some time.
Thank you very much for putting this boaters reference for our geography together and so generously making it available to all of us.

Best of luck with what is next.

I'm sure they all appreciate what you've done. Guess that means you're not going to do it similarly for the rest of the world? lol

Thanks Dave.
