Hey Sandman,

Hello from the other island.

I hear you on the weather vs. dj reports. The radio is just reading a LAND forecast with the occasional marine effort thrown in. They do NOT update them and don't have clue what they are reporting.

You have a computer. The Noaa VHF forecast found on computer wx sites is the same marine forecast from vhf/noaa, just in written form.

And remember. The anemometer on the top of Buzzards bay Tower is over 80 ft off the water. The readings are usually a bit stronger than surface winds.
Also, a vhf radio is cheap and runs on batteries. Portable for fishing, etc.

Good luck and I will send you some weather links if you would like.
