As Sandi Toksvig once said "the forecasts are not the boring bit before the news"They are life and death to mariners.

We have great love for the seas in our family, being both English and Danish - two great seafaring nations. The language is beautiful too.

Many memories of sitting with grandad aged 4 yrs onward. Solemn silence needed for news and forecast. Love it to this day.

Also is the Great storm off Wales which killed hundreds of people the same storm which is now being mooted as a Sunami?
