Weatherfax_pi to retrieve NDBC Bouy

I would very much like to be able to make a list of
NDBC Bouys, their locations, and wget access, so that the data can be downloaded and place on the chart in the Weather bouy data location.
Exact format in OpenCPN is unknown, but it should be so we can download, see where the bouy is located and see the weather data associated with that bouy, perhaps on the chart, or maybe in a weatherfax window.

NDBC also allows email query's similar to gribs.
email NDBC - Email Access - FTPmail FAQ
Data and Products E-mail Access Procedures - How to retrieve files through E-mail - NOAA's National Weather Service

wget NDBC - How can Realtime data be retrieved from the NDBC web site?
data guide NDBC - What data are available for ingest from NDBC and how frequently are they updated?
CMAN NDBC - How do the measured data get from the buoy or C-MAN site to the various users worldwide?
Decode statellite NDBC - How do you decode real-time data?

Here is a list of bouys for the Northeast, other areas are similar.
