    Done. It will be available in the next release. But interested in what you are using that file for, rather than the NMEA interface into your router.

    Hi Kipper,

    Getting strange window behaviour; specially dor the DC table.

    Works fine for a while and then returning to post DCs the window looks like below image. You can't hit max or change it's size.
    .
    I've disabled rezize of the table because it gets all screwed up. What you seeing is a local machine rendering issue. Are you up to date with all your drivers and Windows Updates?

    Couple of questions.
    1. Does the popup menu still work?
    2. If so, what happens when you select Refresh?
    3. What happens if you kill the table (hit the x), and then reopen?

    Some of these may fix it, otherwise it's an AGL restart. There's nothing I can do my side, as it's not a code issue.

    Hi Kipper

    Do you think, in a future revision of AGL, it will be possible to integrate the boat's position into the CurrentBoatInfo file?

    Thank you for the work done.
    .
    It is. Called LAT and LON (in degrees). Other angles are in radians.

    Maybe behaviour by design;
    Previous version loaded NOAA "prt" files int slot 2 and got updated slider but grib did not display.

    Now get the updated slider but also grib displays in full. Still seems to calc route ok in QT...although lost a few places since update but probably my fault 😁
    .
    You only need to load the A grib, eg. A GFS SOLNOAA 1669 2025032200.grb in slot 1. You can use A GFS SOLNOAA 1669 2025032118.grb in slot 2 if you don't want to wait for the full download.

    You don't need to use the SOL grib at all.

Africa by Sea - Abidjan to Swakopmund


Our exploration of Africa by Sea continues. Next, it’s off to Swakopmund, on the water’s edge of the Kalahari desert. It’s a wind-blasted coast, and a venue of choice for those seeking to set wind-powered speed records. More likely than not, we’ll have to beat into it in our Steinlager II, to finally find some shelter behind the walls of Platz am Meer where there is a marina of sorts. Only 2200nm!

Newport to Annapolis 2025


The Newport to Annapolis race, first held in 1947, is one of the most historic and well-known US East Coast blue water races. Linking two seaports dating from the US nation's birth, Annapolis and Newport, the race contrasts the country's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Since 1969, the route has run from Annapolis through the Chesapeake Bay to Newport. The SOLers will sail 470nm in their Carkeek40s in the original direction from Newport to Annapolis, including the Chesapeake, which is such a daunting challenge that the 1997–98 Whitbread Round the World Race for the Volvo Trophy added it to the course, as did the Volvo Ocean Race in 2002 and 2006.

Sinbad by Balloon 2025 - Toamasina to Baia de l'Oiseau


You may recall that when last we visited Madagascar in the company of Sinbad, the Sultan commanded our intrepid inspirator to seek out fabled islands where in Summer the sun barely set. We did and we returned but the Sultan wasn’t happy with Sinbad’s report, so here we go again, now by SOL Balloon instead of sailing vessel. Expect to be in the air for at least 2100nm and depending on how the wind brings us, anything between two weeks and two months before we shall descend at the Sultan’s given coordinates!
