Jesus tells them to try one more cast of the net, at which they are rewarded with a great catch (or "draught", as in "haul" or "weight"). Either is thus sometimes called a "miraculous draught of fish".

Daybreak forecast?

3. Shipping forecast ?

[emperor]

Definitely like the reasoning behind 'forecast' and the shipping forecast was also around midnight so I think that must be it for 3. Thanks also for the extra emphasis to 'draught' for 76 as that is also a bit 'weathery'! Re 17 I've been playing with 'latitude' and even 'platitudes' to try and get a fit. Thanks for all the thinking so far.
