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.
3:03.7	For the best sleepcov experience check out sleepcov premium. It is an exclusive podcast for our
3:11.8	supporters where you get ad-free listening bonus episodes and access to the entire backcast
