Did anybody see the typo in one of the Shipping Forecasts where it put the low at 854!

Re: Surveys: Creel Marking and UKHO Navigation Publications
I've added my voice and said bring back SC Folios, but not expecting that to happen in my lifetime.
Still, if the MAIB ever need to ask why I have such old charts onboard I shall reply, 'The UKHO stopped publishing folios and I'm a Scot'.

Re: Providence of Brixham, Sound of Jura
no self tailing winches, no low friction blocks, no dyneema cordage & jammers and no GPS and electronics to tell you where you are or put a number on the wind speed and direction.....how didi they do it? There are a number of traditional boats still being sailed. Doing stuff takes a bit longer ...

Re: Providence of Brixham, Sound of Jura
As I am in the Westcountry there are a few Brixham Trawler down here. Very majestic looking, but not my type of sailing.
