Dear Heart returns at the weekend
North Sea looking a tad choppy....

And now the Shipping Forecast issued by the Met Office, on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, at 0505 utc on Thursday 03 February 2011 for the period 0600 utc Thursday 03 February to 0600 utc Friday 04 February 2011.

Rockall Malin Hebrides Bailey:
Westerly or southwesterly, becoming cyclonic for a time, severe gale 9 to violent storm 11, occasionally hurricane force 12 later except Malin. High or very high. Rain or squally wintry showers. Poor.

Check those mooring lines lads........

Check the roof I would say!
Got a mate on his way to catch the ferry across the North Sea as we speak, hope his stomach contents are completely healthy, rather than the usual alcoholic swill.
