		<description><![CDATA[For some time I have mulled over the issues of attempting to route through significant areas of doldrums, or indeed any large masses of low wind speed. In my thinking, the most significant aspect of this circumstance is the nature of the routing algorithm. For the sake of the discussion, let&#8217;s use the Melbourne to &#8230; <a href="http://solfans.org/blog/weather/some-murky-thoughts-about-sailing-through-the-doldrums/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Some Murky Thoughts About Sailing Through The Doldrums</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

And it should not take more than a few minutes to sort out.

I&#8217;ve written a Java utility that will monitor the SOL server and automatically download the grib file for you when it arrives.

		<description><![CDATA[At first glance, this race looked to be a simple reach up the coast.  At least that is how it would be if the initial winds held. Yes, there was an island to deal with near the finish.  But odds were we would leave the island to starboard &#8212; problem solved.  This race seemed to be routine. &#8230; <a href="http://solfans.org/blog/weather/around-the-bend-on-the-bay-of-biscay/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Around the Bend on the Bay of Biscay</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

And while I&#8217;m still exploring the new GFS data, the SailOnline tech team has surprised us by implementing the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) for virtual racing. The first test race is Boston to Newport, on a .05°x.05° grid with 1h timesteps.
