Posted by Garagiste Posts 8 Registered at 2011-09-09 14:58:28	2016-12-03 15:21:57 - Anyone still using BWR? Gribs not loading
	I gave up on BWR many months ago when gribs from brainaid would not load. Has anyone else experienced this? I tried again today and these are the error messages from BWR: grib: grib_seek C:/Program Files (x86)/bluewater/races/Christmas/weather-263-global-gfs-20161203_1026.grb: Only read 7816 out of 17640 bytes for EntireMsg (offs=1040760) grib: missing vector data for UGRD, period 29, deleting sequence grib: Postprocessing failure for sequence 33 (parameter 1988196324) grib: C:/Program Files (x86)/bluewater/races/Christmas/weather-263-global-gfs-20161203-1026.grb: No usable records found I have the current version of BWR v.1.87 I'm happy using QtVLm but thought I'd give BWR another try. Thanks, Phil (Garagiste)

	Lascareno I wonder why you keep on posting as "sol"! You're providing a lot of useful info in these forum posts, so why "sol" instead of "Lascareno" --- Last Edited by Bimmer at 2017-05-11 14:31:50 ---

	BWR-adepts if you are sailing SWR 17/18 Leg 4 - Melbourne to Hong Kong do not forget to uncheck the part of the weather that is beyond the 180! If you do not do that then BWR tells you it can not reach the end-point. Even much easier is to cut the download grib to 179. Then BWR just routes without further ado. --- Last Edited by sol at 2018-01-05 11:30:29 ---
Posted by sol Posts 296 Registered at 2008-08-14 11:08:14	2018-03-15 10:28:13 - using BWR and tcp/ip nmea dateline
	BWR users If you cross the 180 from west to east and you are using autogribloader as source then the gps-position will be on the right side of the chart. And there you can not use it for routing purposes. If you use brainaids NMEA proxy as source then the GPS-position will be put on the left side of the chart where it can be used for routing. The grib delivered by AutoGribLoader neither works in BWR. Here I use the grib delivered by Brainaids Toolbox too. --- Last Edited by sol at 2018-03-16 17:17:06 ---

The Beagle in Mauritius 2024

And west, forever following the sun, the Beagle went once more to next explore Australia, but since online we already regularly race the length and breadth of that wee dinkum continent’s coasts, we will delay launching our Tall Ship Class B until the Beagle reaches Mauritius, which she did on 29 April 1836. Darwin explored the island and its coral reefs extensively. We’ll better that by sailing some 450nm to Reunion and back, for a better appreciation of this remote archipelago, inhabited mostly by descendants of French and English colonists and Indian convicts and political prisoners.
