Historical wind data

[Tom Hamilton]

I am trying to plan my trip to move my boat back to the Chesapeake from FL this spring. Does anyone know about a web site with historical wind speed and direction data in a graphical format (ideally daily on a monthly basis). I know that NOAA has it in a tabular format. Thanks, Tom
