Default Boat anchors

I have just remembered stuff from the dim and distant past about
weather patterns in the North Atlantic forecasting volcanic activity.
The appearance of weather fronts in the shape of the sort of mild
steel anchors used on small boats.

I've discussed it here (mainly with myself as per usual.) Still, no
harm in trying to save people whether they want to be helped or not
that's what I always say when I say that.

It's just that there have been some recently and there appears to be
news of volcanic activity where I was expecting earthquakes, my
weather spells are working and there seems no problem with the more
acceptible face of meteorology.

Couple all that with the absence of severe earthquakes after the
stroms that hit Australia nad we are back in Bonin Islands once again.
Or the Japanese Volcanic Islands as they might not be called.

But what's in a name? That which gets you out of danger in time would
by any other name, smell as sweet.

Or not as the case may be.
Looking at the long haul, I hope I am right.
Short term, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

And worst case scenario: Only the insurance companies would profit
from this.
And maybe some break-neck tourist agencies.

Well so much for my privations. Take a look at todays chart:

Note the shape of things to come in the shape of the weather fronts
south of France in ye Medde.

Wot hath god wrot.
It's almost as if he knew we'd be sitting on it when the right time
for the revelation came. Just think the gifts he gave us. FitzRoy and
Newton and the rest of it. Even Nelson and Jacky Fisher, when you
think about it.
I'm glad I am around to make the most of it.

It is really amazing what the North Atlantic chart can show us about
this little planet. I do hope he lets us keep it.

Two US volcanoes making news: Kilauea and St. Helens:

But what brightened my day up was the report from the BBC about the
volcano in the Japanese region I was expecting a large earthquake not
so long ago.

Do you know, if I wasn't too good for this place, I wouldn't be here!
