    Re: Problem with BW on Christmas race
    Board » Technical Support
    It may be right in most cases, but for this race, if we except the possibility to pass above New Guinea, a grib at 7 or 14 days should not make any difference right now...

    Thank you guys, it works fine now.

    I didn't know that the message error concerned the grib file until this morning, but it was not the first time I had this problem, I shall know for the future.

    76, BW is dealing with grib files in a pretty way, as I have now added a grib for 14 days without more problem !

    Cheers

    Problem with BW on Christmas race
    Board » Technical Support
    Hi everybody !

    When I try to calculate a route on BW, I have a message error saying "unable to reach end point"

    After checking with Jeff, it seems that the grib file I get from Brain's site is the cause of the problem, for exemple BW works fine with a grib file from Ugrib.

    Is someone else experiencing the same ?

    Thanks
    Josh

    I have received the following answer from Jeff :

    Quote- There was a problem with the way that GRIB files were loaded. The date and time stamp on the GRIB is converted to an internal representation (decimal hours since a fixed start date). The conversion makes some calls to system time functions. The calls worked fine as long as the computer's local time zone was west of Greenwich (that is, UTC - ) but failed for local time zones east of Greenwich (UTC +) . That's why I never saw the problem on my computers -- I've only ever run the program in the Western hemisphere! Unquote

    The latest version of BW should now be working fine for the poor guys on the eastern side !!!

    Hi guys !

    Schakel, it seems we have exactly the same problem... at least for your 7 running pc !

    Exmer, I have a 32 bit machine and changed the directory file a few days ago. I also tried compatibility mode without result.

    BW is even not working with the grib files furnished as examples...

    Regards

    Thank you Schakel and Exmer :)

    I have vista on my pc, yesterday I asked my friend Do Ping to do exactly the same I'm doing and he got the wind correct... but his pc is running with xp !

    Thank you all for your help but I think I will give up as I have no idea what is going wrong...

    Cheers

    Exmer,

    zulu time was already selected...

    But as you can see in the attached file, I have never had any wind data in the little box down right, instead I have "calm"

    Maybe is it not only a question of time...

    I don't want to bother you with my problems, but usually I'm available between 1 and 6 p.m. utc and after 8 p.m

    Regards

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
