Product Description

Mention the shipping forecast and most people will be able to reel off a short list of sea areas. But the places are real, and Peter Collyer's detailed paintings, reproduced to actual size, offer a series of images which will bring the sea areas alive.

Customer Reviews

This is my book of the year.5
Please do not be put off by the title, this is a travel book that makes you feel you have visited the places described. Although it is beautifully illustrated, this book's strength is it's text. I read it in one sitting and I was completely lost. You will listen to the shipping forecast with new ears!

SHIPPING FORECAST RADIO 45
If the shipping forecast on radio 4 grips you, fascinates you, comforts you, whatever, and whether or not you are a sailor, you will love this book. All those mysterious places - German Byte, Fisher, North Utsire, etc. all visited. A wonderful travel book and, if you are a watercolourist or sketcher, you'll also enjoy the paintings throughout the book.

Fascinating and beautiful book5
This book is all about the Radio 4 Shipping Forecast, but if it sounds dull, it's not. The author visits the areas concerned, and accompanied by paintings of the area, it'll make you listen to the Shipping Forecast again!
