Anyone using BouyWeather.com ...

I just started using them last year for weather in the Bahamas. The site seems ok, I use a number of weather sources & GRIB files for tools, like the others, BouyWeather was sometimes right on and sometimes it wasn't even close. I'm wondering how accurate others have found this source of information ? I was turned on to the site by a captain of a beautiful 85 foot motoryacht, they are in the Carib and Bahamas for several months every year, this fellow swears by BouyWeather and is the only service he uses. BouyWeather has a text-only Daily email Alert that seems kind of nice, and specific / exact to any LAT/LON you punch in ... plus you can route information to multiple locations on multiple days for your passage, that's nice. But as I said above, last year there were days where I punched in specific locations and they were off by a ton ... like anybody else. Thanks, cheers, John
