Nowt else to report – pale excuse for the sun a slightly brighter patch in the overcast – soft breeze, no apparent relationship with our current gribWeather files. Graphics in Binary file: GRIB files associate a specific weather datum (eg wind velocity or atmospheric pressure) with a geographic position. Because the resulting file is a collection of these points they are extremely small and so ideal over slow links such as sailmail. but we are for the first time for ages, pointing at Hobart.
