Additional Information:

Three day weather forecast issued by the Meteorological Office at 0600 UTC on Sunday 6 July 1997: Low pressure will remain anchored between Newfoundland and Iceland, with a slow moving ridge of high pressure at 35 degrees south, 60 degrees west stretching northeast to the Bay of Biscay and southern British Isles. This will keep winds in a west to southwesterly direction for the next 3 days at least. In order to catch the strongest winds you will need to head north as quickly as possible to around 50 degrees north.
