A New Paradigm for Cruising

Marine Prediction Center–Viewing Faxes

Hi–I took your advice (article on The New Way to Get Weather Faxes) and got weather faxes from Marine Prediction Center. When I opened them they were scrambled letters and numbers only. Is the TIF format something I need to have a program for in order to decode and read? Thanks, Frank

Hi Frank: You should be able to open the .tif files in any image viewer. Photoshop, Image Ready, or one of the new Windows OS viewers will work. But you do need a viewer of some form. Steve

“The 83ft-long (25m) wave-piercer...could easily be mistaken for the spawn of the Royal Navy with its unpainted battleship grey, all-aluminum body. But that day, in those conditions, it was the only boat that I would have wanted to climb aboard to face the English Channel.” --Motor Boat & Yachting
