I’m thinking tonight’s @ShippingForecas is going to be a bit like the ‘difficult 2nd album’ or Back To The Future 2…still good, but not as epic as its predecessor

What is it about listening to @ShippingForecas with #SailingBy followed by the national anthem that I find so comforting @BBCRadio4 Goodnight #StormEleanor Thinking of all those at sea or in precarious & exposed locations.
