Got the wind data transposed to my world map. The next step is to build the actual wind grids that the ships will reside in. The result below basically took all day to do due to my lack of knowledge of translating GRIB files. I need a shot of rum after this.
This is the wind field at every 1 degree lat/long. The data has twice of the resolution that I am displaying here (half of degree), so I could quadruple(x and y direction) the wind fields on the map if i wanted to.

BTW. the data was a snapshot from 3/11/2015 18:00
