I’m enjoying BBC R4’s programmes celebrating the centenary of the Shipping Forecast.

I started sailing before GPS and mobile phones. Waking early to listen to the Shipping Forecast was routine. It’s not that many years ago that a morning forecast had me waking my wife, casting off even before coffee, and making a run across Lyme Bay ahead of forecast strong winds.
