Besides the weather report phone number, are there other places
to get a good maritime forecast? Is there a radio or TV station that
broadcasts continual reports?

Our cable company, American Cablevision, I think, runs the a weather
tape on inactive channels. It sounds like the NOAA broadcasts on
W1 and W2. Assuming you have cable (Doesn't every town have it now!!
:<) ) you might rty there.
I think there's a number you can call for the aviation forecast
which might behelpful. How tall is your mast?

There are marine weather forecasts -- there are no good marine weather forecasts. | |||||

For NOAA forecasts of the Narragansett Bay and South of Cape Cod
area, call 1-401-738-1211.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GENERIC MARINE FORCAST. YOU COULD TRY THE
VTX SERVER. GO INTO THE AP NEWS SECTION, THEN NEW ENGLAND, THEN
WEATHER. USUALLY THERE IS A WEATHER REPORT, A 1-2 DAY FORCAST, AND
A 3-5 DAY OUTLOOK. ON ONE OF THEM WILL BE THE MARINE FORCAST FOR
THE DAY.
MAY NOT BE UP TO THE EXACT MOMENT, BUT WHEN THINKING OF CUTTING
OUT EARLY, OR LOOKING UP THE WEEKEND WEATHER ON FRIDAY. THIS IS BETTER
THAN LISTENING TO DICKIE RAMBLE ABOUT THE STARS ON TV.
