Spot GRIB Request

saildocs provides support for the Spot GRIB requests. Spot requests returns forecasts for a given location. Let's say you just dropped the hook, and you want to know what your night is going to look like...
If you send an email to query@saildocs.com, with a body like this:

 send spot:37.5N,122.5W|5,3|PRMSL,WIND,RAIN

, you will receive a response like that one:
