Default grabbing weather faxes inexpensively on passage

You don't need a marine SSB radio to get wxFax, only a receiver that
can tune in SSB broadcasts -- ie not an AM only shortwave. Of course,
you don't need wxFax. I stopped bothering with them on this trip up
from New Zealand to Honolulu 'cause the two faxes that I wanted decided
to take a week off...

Have fun in Fiji -- say "hi" to my buddies in "tiny bubbles" if you see
them.

Bula!
