BBC Shipping Forecast locations
Those who serve before the mast
Rely on the Shipping Forecast
Which calls a calm way
From Fair Isle to Biscay
In tones that remain unsurpassed.

Everything. As It Happens.
But in Killybegs and across Donegal,
Consternation about who owns Rockall,
If the Brits go for Brexit,
Then the fishing, that fecks it,
And our trawlers will be landing fupp all.
Dogger, Rockall, Malin, Irish Sea:
Green, swift upsurges, North Atlantic flux
Conjured by that strong gale-warning voice,
Collapse into a sibilant penumbra.
Midnight and closedown…

Doth not our own seafarers prefer the Sea Area Forecast as opposed to the UK Shipping Forecast? I would have thought that it would be slightly more relevant to Irish shores, harbours, lights and whatnot.

Anyone else remember when they used to say “rain shower in past hour”?
