Regarding Weather Routers: Does anyone have any recommendations for persons or companies who specialize in the North Atlantic routes from Caribbean to the British Isles? We know Parker, and have used him, but are looking for alternatives that might be a better fit. You can PM if you wish, thanks! — looking for recommendations.
