In addition to the sources already posted, where you plan on cruising will determine where the information comes from. If you are in the south Pacific or Australia most of these sources won't work for you. If on the US East coast all will work just fine. The SSB and a Pactor modem will get you weather info from various sources almost anywhere in the world. Herb is great for passages, we have used him for years, but not so good and really does not like to do day hops and US coastal stuff. Internet access is good for coastal and many island locations but won't work offshore without very expensive equipment and pricey plans.
