Don - I'm with you - I don't trust the Seattle forecasts more than about
12 hours ahead. Sailing friends in the San Juans rely much more on the
Canadian forecasts - they feel the Can forecasts are much more
accurate...I've no idea why, as I would think the weather services would
all be operating with the same information.....
