There are 31 sea areas covered in the shipping forecast. In this design  these magic words appear in the precise order they are always read during broadcast. It begins with "Viking, North Utsire and South Utsire..."  and ends with "...Fair Isle, Faeroes and Southeast Iceland."

The design is named after the shipping forecast's theme tune: 'Sailing By'.

These words, alongside small illustrations, combine to create a kind of visual lullaby. Something restful to rely on, a kind of prayer or poem.

This card is suitable for seafarers, anglers, yachtsmen, fisherfolk, skippers, weather watchers and insomniacs.
