For what it is worth dept.As one who has done a lot of sailing from L.I.Sound to the Canadian Border I can attest to the value of NOAA marine forecasts.We always check NOAA and then check the forecasts from local radio stations.Usually the local stations are much more accurate.NOAA`s forecasts have such a wide range of wind speeds as to be almost useless.I believe they are protecting themselves from litigation by forecasting the most dire conditions.NOAA has very little credibility with me and most of the people I have sailed with.
