	How do all Further to discussions in the RTW chat Odyss pointed out that QT had some annoying bars across the screen. I had initially put it down to a shortage of memory on my computer and the bars being nothing but a drawing issue - but on closer inspection it seems to be affecting the routing - screen shot Odyss posted in chat Version 5.3.7 The problem occurs when using saildocs and Brainaids gribs Update- Issue is also occurring in 5.3.5 Update - from Kipper All, just tracked down the Qt bug. If the grib grid resolution is 1 degree or greater, the problem occurs. Of the resolution is less than 1 degree, it goes. I've just reprocessed the Brainaid grib down to 0.5 --- Last Edited by Mark at 2016-07-05 10:37:24 ---

	Hello, From where is this grib coming from? Is it something generated by SOL somehow?

	It is the Brainaid grib and the SailDocs gribs

	The grib displays fine if the standard interpolation is used. So it's either inherent to the SOL interpolation formula, or it's a problem in our implementation of it.

	Im not a tachie but Kippers point that making the grib denser (to under 0.5)and the problem being resolved seems to suggest its the way QT is handling less dense files. The conversion is a process few of us (me included!) can do!! Thank you for looking at this

	Kipper has changed the 10:26 grib file into something usefull for QtVlm. I'll see if I can persuade him to do this to the following updates, until the guys at QT has solved the problem. They ARE alerted Attachments SOL_weather_127_global_gfs_20160705_1026.grb (9.5 MB)

	Another solution is to change the settings in ADVACED fro SOL to Standard. Attachments image.png (17.8 KB)

	It looks like there is a transposition error. The stripes are displaced down the page by exactly one grid resolution (2.148 degrees). Attachments QtGribIssueDiagram.PNG (266.5 KB)

Neumayer Station to Biscoe Wharf 2024

It’s Autumn now in Antarctica, the sun is permanently below the horizon, but during the day, from c 0900 to c 1700 local time, there is some twilight – nautical twilight, not to be confused with civil twilight which is brighter. The penguins are starting to huddle together to keep warm and the sea ice is growing. Time to get back to Biscoe Wharf then, before the water becomes impassible. Including a detour past Argentina’s main two Antarctic stations, it’s only 1900nm, so, although we’ll be in a hurry, we will take the bigger, better ice-classed Paratii 2 once more, just to be sure!

Melbourne to Osaka Prelude 2024

Welcome once again to what these days is Sailonline’s almost annual virtual Melbourne to Osaka Yacht Race. In real life, this double-handed 5500 nm race between these two sister cities, one deep in the southern hemisphere, the other high in the northern hemisphere, is run every four to five years, and is planned to be held again in 2025, so this race is a Prelude in partnership with the Melbourne Osaka Cup 2025 organising committee collaborating with the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria (ORCV), and the Sandringham (SYC) and Osaka Hokko (OHYC) yacht clubs. On this occasion, we’ll be racing the well-known First 40, a popular size of boat for a long-distance double-handed race. With the doldrums unavoidably lying across the track, you can expect to be at virtual sea for at least a month!
