April 20, 2018 Reply Adam Yes! I probably should’ve mentioned it but we subscribe to PredictWind. We’re able to download weather in the form of colored animated grib files. PredictWind isn’t cheap and IridiumGo isn’t fast, but it works well and it is pretty much one of the only options offshore. With IridiumGo, you also have access the same SailDocs info that you would with an SSB, without the large SSB investment and power requirement.
