Additional Information:
Three day forecast issued by The Meteorological Office at 0600 UTC on Thursday 15 May 1997:
The yachts should continue to enjoy the benign weather conditions under the influence of the sub-tropical high pressure
ridge as well as the the gentle southeasterly drift over the next few days. By Sunday the yachts may begin to encounter
some deeper clouds and islolated thundery showers as the equator and Doldrums approach.
