NOAA Is Our Friend

NOAA weather station at Kewaunee, WI.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has weather stations all over the USA to help citizens make informed decisions while they work and play. NOAA data informed us to stay put for a few more hours until the waves diminished along with the wind gusts above 25 mph. I thought the wind would help dry my nylon shirt that I had hung in the cockpit, but it just blew it away

Many Web and device applications use NOAA data to portray the information to special audiences. Sailors have many choices including NOAA's own site, weather.gov
