old windfinder forecast googlemap It's possible, but I don't know how exactly. There might be some free apps. There are several commercial, such as Grib Explorer (ocens.com/GRIB-Explorer-P212.aspx). NOAA has the data format on their web site in case you can write an app for it. |

Washing dishes with seawater or freshwater? Coastal seawater sometimes has harmful organisms from sewage and animal waste -- enough for beach closures. I don't know any statistics or specifics. Just because it's salty does not mean bad stuff won't grow in it. |

Washing dishes with seawater or freshwater? I agree. We definitely should not imply that it's "the norm" to use untreated water for food, drink, or dish washing. |

Do bag liners add the same warmth value to all sleeping bags? It seems like it would depend on some other factors. For example, if the liner is porous and the sleeping bag is porous, then the liner will have less insulation in the wind. If the line is thin, then it will have less insulation on the snow (on the bottom), at least in the case of no or little insulating pad, than it would on dry ground because of the greater temperature differential and, as you mentioned, it changes physically under body weight. |

Do cross-country skis need to be broken-in? That's possible, I'm not sure. The snow temperature and texture might have more effect than that, as well as the ski width. |

Do bag liners add the same warmth value to all sleeping bags? You can probably add more than 15 degrees by wearing a bunch of fleece to bed (as long as it's dry), in case the liner doesn't work well. |
