Do I really need a barometer? Which one?
Planning to sail down the West Coast from Vancouver to Cabo this fall.

The barometer I have is dead. Resuscitating it is theoretically possible, but I have enough problems to deal with between now and castoff day. For getting weather forecasts, there is VHF, two SSB receivers and a satellite messenger (Delorme InReach). Is there a scenario where I'd really want to know the local pressure trend?

If so, what should I replace my dead aneroid piece with?
