Zonder internet ben je voor je weer afhankelijk van inderdaad Navtex (niet op open oceaan) en SSB (weerkaartjes) en binnen VHF bereik ook als je geluk hebt nog wat weer over de VHF. De laatste is de Satcom-C (
ziet er zo uit). Die geeft, net zoiets als Navtex maar dan ook wereldwijd, tekst-weerberichten. Als ik vergeet om op de vaste tijdstippen via de SSB weerkaartjes te tappen dan is dit een mooie backup, want komt standaard binnen.
Zulke weerberichten zien er bijvoorbeeld zo uit:
