Probably with UKV as the main forecast model to check. Should definitely compare the other models as well to get a clearer picture of what to expect.

If turning it off or leaving it in another room isn't an option, you could let a podcast lull you to sleep.
I like to listen to The Unbelievable Truth for example. Relatively quiet, not demanding enough focus to keep you awake, but requires some attention so that if you're doing something else on your phone you're going miss what's going on.

I'm just glad to be back on open water now :D As beautiful as the Dutch canals (and the towns along the way) are, I don't like running the engine the whole day. And especially singlehanded it is tiring that you cannot really step away from the tiller unless you are tied up somewhere.
