Finisterre for Ed Ed

During the course of my series of collages on the Shipping Forecast it was pointed out to me by wottaottapixels after a discussion with ed ed that the name Finisterre had been dropped from the British Shipping Forecast and replaced with Fitzroy. This was to avoid confusion with the Spanish Finisterre.

 

Anyway, I had promised ed ed I would make a collage on Finisterre but instead I thought a little vido tribute in way of an obituary for Finisterre may be more appropriate. Anyway ed ed, here is to you and your remarkable eye for finding the profound within the everyday...

 

My kind sea faring friend has supplied these lovely ones from the Portuguese and Spanish sea/weather station equivalents:

 

Altair, Acores, Irving, Madeira, Josephine, Charcot, Finesterre, Porto, Sao Vicente, Cadiz, Cassablanca, Agadir, Meteor, Canarias...aren't they great?
