Additional Information:
Weather Forecast issued by the Meteorological Office at 0730 on Saturday 14th December:
High pressure to the north will move away eastwards causing the strong westerly winds to veer north or northwest.. Low
pressure to the southwest of the fleet is expected to deepen as it moves east and is likely to cause the winds to back again
to the west and strengthen considerably. Squalls are expected by Tuesday as a cold front approaches from the south.
