PREVER OS TEMPOS

Passavam-se horas com este papelito em frente a nós, com o radio ligado e um lápis para anotar, em cada zona o estado do tempo e do mar; A partir daí já se podia decidir por onde ir ( isto claro, nos navios pequenos); Não era esta exactamente a que eu usava, visto não ter o mar do norte, que era por onde se andava mais; Mar de Irlanda, Fastnet, hébridas, etc,... Quando tocava para o torto, era uma xatice.... muitas vezes de capa, outras se dava para fugir, lá se ia.... Mas gostei de lembrar.... weather bulletin for Metarea 2, Meteo-France,Toulouse, Monday 14 November 2005 at 09 UTC. - Wind speed in Beaufort scale - sea : total significant -- please be aware, wind gusts can be a further 40 percent strongerthan the averages given here, and maximum waves may be up to twicethe significant height.
