Weather and conditions
"You become a bit of an expert on that, weather forecast and things"
You become a bit of an expert on that, weather forecast and things. Now with the computer and the net, you watch all of those things. You watch predominantly the wind- the wind is what dictates where you can go and when you can go. For instance, during the winter season, the winter off the North East coast you get a predominance of easterly winds, which minds that the wind is blowing onto the land which makes the sea rough which in turn then churns all the bottom up so you don’t get any real visibility as such.
