I've found that as long as I have internet access in the AM before
departure, the marine section of Weather Underground (www.wunderground.com)
was better to use than the VHF WX channels. I would bring up the next one or
two areas of travel, clip (highlight, ctrl-C) the wind/wave section and
paste (ctrl-v) it into a permanent document file for reference during the
day.
Much more reliable than listening to 10 minutes of marine WX radio for the
info of concern, then finding out your mind slept through to the pertinent
part.
Of course a mid-day update, in some manner, was crucial.
