Radar on your mobile
Unfortunately not yet by using a tiny chip, but there a number of mobile internet services and applications available that will help you keep an eye on the weather when you are (planning to be) at sea. However, some people point out that it would be a bit naive to just trust on services like these. Take a look at a discussion over at Google Groups if you would like to know more.
Jerre Lull:“If I had a radar and a crew member to study it constantly, I’d add it to the arsenal, but I have neither. Personally, I depend upon the weather warnings as THEY can keep their heads buried in their far superior radars while I handle the boat and
watch the sky.”
