This site was being discussed on another forum:

"Our freeware application Ugrib allows instant and fully customizable access to global weather data. Within one simple to use interface you can download and view weather data right on your desktop."

http://www.grib.us/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx

Some of you may find it worthwhile.

Looks great, but I'm just paranoid about freeware...

I use [url="http://www.sailflow.com/?newHomeRegionID=200"]Sailflow[/url] and my [url="http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/fmtbltn.pl?file=forecasts/marine/coastal/an/anz335.txt"]local NOAA weather forcast[/url].
I keep a NOAA radio on the boat.
If you still have a PDA you can download [url="http://www.toolworks.com/bilofsky/tidetool/"]"Tide Tool"[/url] and set it for your area. It has both a text and graph view of the tides with moon phases and sunrise/sunset times.

You can also buy an inexpensive digital shortwave reciever, plug the earphone jack into a laptops mike input and download GRIB files that way.
