We are headed north on the Tenn-Tom and I wanted to share three sources of marine weather information that were exceptional as we traveled from Clearwater to Mobile. All are part of NOAA National Marine Weather Service and the exceptional part is that you can speak directly with a forecaster. Believe it or not they are available 24/7 and they welcome phone calls. They update their weather models at 4:00 AM and 4:00 PM. The numbers I used are Tampa 813-645-2323, Tallahassee 850-942-8833, and Mobile 251-633-6443. Ask to speak to a forecaster. The big difference between reading it on the NOAA site and talking with a forecaster is their willingness to focus on a precise area and provide more individualized details. Hope you get a chance to use them. They are knowledgeable and have a good attitude. Finding both together is rare. Wayne Prichard MV Segue, 84 Californian 43 Now at Columbus, MS
