speeds, headings, true and apparent wind at these points.
In each point of the route contains:
1. A passage date (column from the table " ETA ")
2. A state of the current at this date: direction and speed. These parameters are represented in the table by
columns "Dir. Current" for the direction of the current and by " Current Speed " for the speed of the current.
3. A state of the wind at this date: direction and speed. These parameters are represented in the table by columns
" Dir. Wind " for the direction and by "Speed True, Apparent" For the wind speed.
