Default Ships in Torbay

Noticed this morning a few ships are anchoring in Torbay, using the lee to
shelter from the impending storm.

My thoughts go out to seamen in weather like this.

Tim in Torquay.

Hi Tim,

We always used to use the Belgian trawlers as a good forecast for a
decent storm. As soon as they started to shelter in the harbour you
knew it was going to be a good one.
