We are actually in the MED, but are planning to cross the atlantic in the near future and spend some time in the caribean sea (1-2 years). On our SM #227 we have no SSB Radio yet and we will buy an Iridium satellite phone. I am interested to know how the SSB radio is used in the caribean? Is it worth to install a SSB radio or is VHF enough to communicate within the caribean? What is the best tool to get weatherforecasts over there?
All type of advise is wellcome. Thanks in advance Paul SM 227
