That really sounds so good,and although its a Lighthouse Horn brings back the memories of all those Ship Horn blasts from the past!
Excellent!
Thanks

Hi shipmates, The fog horns put me in mind of lost souls a fitting sound to all our lost ships and seaman, nothing like a heavy fog and the sound of ships very ghostly on watch dark shapes' in the fog and the bells

Friday, last session of the day I asked all my foreign students what they would be doing Saturday morning (today). Sleeping was the common reply.
Hah! thinks I, you obviously don't read the local paper. Souter plus 55 other ships blasting away will most likely wake the dead in Harton cemetery.
The blast is being synced using GPS and the sequence has been composed by some famous musician, should be an interesting morning, weather not too brilliant though, cloudy with the odd spot of rain as of 10:45 local
cheers
