Thats pretty cool I have this wind map saved http://hint.fm/wind/ its just the the US states but you can zoom in to see what its doing in a city, its pretty nifty really cool when the wind picks up or a storm is around.

Follow the route that columbus took and it seems that there is a reason he landed where he did.  getting back doesnt look as simple though.
