Offshore weather and com

Crew,

For those of you who have ocean travel experience what is your choice for obtaining current and forecasted weather and ocean conditions as well as communications when out of cellphone range?

I might be crewing for a friend moving his 65' Hatteras from LA to Puerto Vallarta in a few weeks. I've already configured my cell for coverage in Mexico but I'm not willing to rely on that and the VHF is line of sight therefore distance limited.

Thanks for your ideas.
