Hi all
From my experience, I know exactly how to get
weather information in the Mediteranian Sea, when
internet access is not available. There is Navtex, the
VHF radio and many more ways.
I plan to
cruise on the
East Coast of
Florida, the Keys and the Bahama and have no experience in this area. The
boat is equipped with
VHF radio,
radar,
chartplotter, barometer ect. But there is no
SSB /HAM radio nor SatPhone aboard. As long as there is a mobile
internet access available, plenty of information can be accessed on the internet. But now, when leving the proximity of the coast, how can I get the required data in this area?
Is there something comparable to Navtex? Can I get the information with a
SSB radio receiver (if yes, what frequencies and any recommendation for a particular product)? Is there a
service, broadcasting meteo information over the VHF radio on a given scheddule?
Your help is verry welcome.
Fair winds
