I got one of these: Highly recommended for coastal cruising as well as the islands when you are out of VHF range: This gizzmo operates on medium frequency and has a max range of 400 miles.
Hook it up to a GPS and it will automatically tune to the nearest station.
Service free of charge worldwide.

It is a Furuno NAVTEX weather receiver.
