		<description><![CDATA[This is not really a report on my Geraldton-Cape Town race so much as some observations on SOL ocean racing which hopefully might lead to some conversations on the Solfans blog and Sol chat. I have promised to do a Pilot Charts routing before each race to show what, according to the ‘most likely’ reading &#8230; <a href="http://solfans.org/blog/weather/ocean-racing-along-the-latitude-parallels/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Ocean racing along the latitude parallels</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seemed to me that as a part of course pre-planning for long ocean races, it might be useful if I published on Solfans for each new SOL ocean race the suggested OpenCPN routing based on Pilot Chart wind data for people to make use of if they so desired.  It also seemed that it &#8230; <a href="http://solfans.org/blog/races/weatherreports/routing-based-on-pilot-charts-geraldton-to-cape-town-preview/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Routing Based On Pilot Charts &#8211; Geraldton to Cape Town preview</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;ll put things in practice and route the Capetown &#8211; Abu Dabi race. As a handicap, I will only work with the COGOW prevailing winds charts. I have not run a software route of this course since May. To avoid confusion, I&#8217;m talking about two separate races. The spring race started on April 21 &#8230; <a href="http://solfans.org/blog/routing/example-capetown-abu-dabi/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Example: Capetown &#8211; Abu Dabi</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The first &#8220;winter&#8221; storm has already travelled south from the Gulf of Alaska and brought rain to the Pacific Northwest and down into Northern California.  Three more storms are making their way west across the Pacific.  But reaching those winds may take some doing. The first barrier is a High pressure system sitting, at start &#8230; <a href="http://solfans.org/blog/races/gray-whale-migration-pre-race/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Gray Whale Migration &#8212; pre-race</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At start time, a Low Pressure system is moving east across North Island − crossing the coast at Hokianga Harbour, about 100nm NW of Auckland. This weather system will determine the winds (TWS and TWD) for the fleet throughout the race. An initial wind forecast of 6 kts out of the east dictates an on-the-wind start. &#8230; <a href="http://solfans.org/blog/races/ssanz-100-pre-race/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">SSANZ 100 &#8212; pre race</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this race, there are three reasons to head up the east coast of the United States and Canada. First,  the Great Circle Route goes that way. Despite appearances, the Rhumb Line on Chart #1 is about 165 nm longer than the Great Circle Route arcing to the north side of the rhumb.
