Also, every boat should have a barometer, placed where it will be seen
frequently.
I have a clock and barometer on the aft bulkhead of the main cabin,
with the barometer mounted above the companionway leading aft. I see
it all the time, and consciously look at it 2-3 times a day. If the
forecast is favorable but the barometer suddenly starts to plummet, I
believe the barometer and not the forecast.

Thanks for that barometer tip. I added it to my "needed gear" list.
