Discussed is marine climatology, surface waves, water masses, circulation, and ship traffic density. Using these environmental data as guides, it is recommended that the most satisfactory exercise are would be north of Georges Bank, i.e., in the Gulf of Maine north of 42 degrees N and west of 67 degrees W.
