I just posted to Scott and Rosalie about the subject of weather. I
spend alot of time on open water.
I am not retyping my full content.
But I just wanted to thank you, enjoyed both of your comments.
Nice to other people find NOAA complex

Pat, try my favorite weather site, Plymouth State College, NH.
No spam, no ads, no cookies, just DATA and great photos done by the
excellent meteorolgy department students.

http://vortex.plymouth.edu/
gets you the main page. On the left panel, click TROPICAL near the top and
all your satphotos and hurricane information is neatly stored.

This server is very lightly used and even when we're hit with a major
hurricane never balks or is dead. All very well done.
NO marine weather, though....but very useful info nonetheless.

Larry,
Thanks for the heads up. I went and took a look at it pretty
interesting.
I really need a good hook up for off shore.
Thur. 11/29/2007 we will be leaving Norfolk Va and going to St
Marteen, approx 1600 miles across Atlantic. We head south out of bay,
run 15 to 20 miles off shore till we reach Hatteras, turn left cross
the stream and head south east.
We use commanders weather service, but it is like NOAA not always
accurate. We did deliver one boat that had Sirus weather and it worked
well. But it was a beautiful sail in the spring and did not have any
weather system that we needed to watch. While we can still connect to
internet Bermuda weather is pretty good. I will usually print off 4
or 5 days of predictions before we leave just to see how close they
come.

Oh by the way I read the whole wilbur /scott /etc/etc thing. Next
time I will just go out and varnish some teak
