Texting Weather Buoys

[Doc O Rock]

Several years ago when the world was normal, I was using a texting system to get the wind and wave info off the weather buoys when we were traveling Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. I can't seem to find the info again. Have any of you used this system lately?

Found it. 866-218-9973 https://glbuoys.glos.us/ gets you to the list of buoys. Text the number of the buoy you want and you get a return of current info including wind and sometimes wave state.

I have my local buoys saved as shortcuts on my phone, so it is just a click to check conditions. Go to the URL for the Buoy page, and then (depending on your phone) select the menu and Add to Home Screen. Really easy to access.
