I have this on the PC while watching TV.

Mesmerizing....

yes, and...

you can examine upper level winds and ocean surface currents

Yes, it is quite interesting. I wish I could zoom in a bit more, but you can still tell what is going on locally pretty easily. I think this uses the same data feed that SailFlow does. It also allows you so get the future forecast, which can be pretty handy.

Top,

I also have this on my desktop. I believe Stu uses a similar wind map.
I only wished you could zoom in for a closer scale. It can become mesmerizing.

Listening to "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright turned up real loud makes it that much more mesmerizing.

Tried that. Flashed back. Ended up naked on the front lawn chasing unicorns with Elvis. Gotta give the tablet back to inmate 1245322Z now.

I hate it when that happens.
