Would that be Fitzroy of the Shipping Forecast fame?

The area is also named after him, and is a good clue.

Well quite. He is the father of the shipping forecast & founder of the met office. The area was named after him very recently: it used to be called Finisterre but the French RFI forecast also has a sea area called Finisterre, which is completely different to ours. I think that in the interests of 'diplomacy' we changed to Fitzroy but kept the slightly politically sensitive Trafalgar |

But surely trafalgar is named after cape trafalgar near cadiz or do the french and spanish want to call it something nondescript? |

Will probibly be picking up some membership forms this weekend. Numb should be heading north with me if I get her a bit more sorted but if not then the 600 will come instead and largs is definantly looking like the club of choice. One of them has to come with me anyway... think my grandads sense of humor about me leaving 4 boats in his front garden might start to fail at some point. |
