The Weather Our single side band radio continues to be our only life-line to the daily weather reports that are so crucial to our decisions regarding travel. Each morning at 6:30 a.m. (yes, we set an alarm),we tape Chris Parker's Caribbean weather forecast. If we wish further information we can pick Chris Parker up again at 8:00 as well as the N.O.A.A. (National Oceanagraphic and Aeronautical Administration) weather report which broadcasts every 6 hours. Once we have compiled the necessary information we share it with the other two boats that are travelling with us. At that time, together we make our decisions regarding travel plans. Now we just need to figure out a way to get a higher level of accuracy on the reports.
