Normally, I've been using the NWS brace of tools for marine weather

As long as I've been a member of the Weather Underground, and I go WAY
back to the early days when it was still an experiment of the U of
Michigan Science department, I've never looked at their marine
reportage.

Another nice feature is land and marine forecasts trimmed down so
they're easy to read on a blackberry or other pda with browser. They
also have the nexrad radar. This was how I was able to justify the
$20/month charge for my 'berry.
