| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome to Sneak Cove with Christopher. Tonight I will begin with a brief history of |
| 0:10.7 | the UK shipping forecast then followed by a full forecast. The UK shipping forecast is |
| 0:19.4 | a unique maritime forecast that is 156 years old and is the longest running continuous forecast |
| 0:29.2 | in the world. To sailors and sea captains the forecast provides vital weather information |
| 0:38.1 | but its appeal extends beyond its primary purpose and it has become something of a British |
| 0:46.2 | institution. Many find it reassuring and poetic. It even allows some listeners to sleep |
| 0:58.2 | and it has had a huge influence on popular culture, inspiring the likes of Blair, Radiohead |
| 1:06.9 | and the Prodigy. For many brits is a soothing poetic reminder of our island nation. For those |
| 1:16.5 | who work on the high seas it can be a lifeline. The ethereal names that denote the sea areas |
| 1:25.9 | refer to areas that are sunbanks, estuaries and islands. For forecast follows a course from |
| 1:34.5 | the north east coast of Scotland following a clockwise direction until it finds its final |
| 1:42.2 | destination in south east Iceland. The shipping forecast must be read at a steady even pace |
| 1:51.6 | with the understanding that any part of the information could be important to someone |
| 1:57.9 | making clear navigation decisions. It begins with the wind directions and speed as defined |
| 2:07.0 | by the both-hawks scale. Once speeds go over 7 each number has a name. 8 is Gale 9 is |
| 2:17.6 | Sophia Gale with a top number being the rare hurricane force 12. Following the wind is the |
| 2:25.1 | weather and visibility report and these always should relate to each other. If there is heavy rain |
| 2:33.4 | the visibility will be poor. The shipping forecast remains an unchanging comforting mantra around |
| 2:42.9 | the British Isles and is broadcast on BBC Radio 4. In the words of one sailor it is more than a |
| 2:51.6 | shipping forecast. It is reassuring to hear at sea and on land. It is iconic and beautiful. |
