Answer 1

"Red at night, Sailor's delight.

Red in the morning, Sailor take warning."

Answer 2

Red sky at night, shepherd's delight

Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning

meaning that if the sky is red at night it will be a good day the next day but if the sky is red in the morning the weather will be bad!

Answer 3

I think the rhyme is : -

Red sky at night, shepheard's delight.

Red sky in the morning, sailors warning.

Something like that anyway.

Here's the music which accompanies the shipping forecast.  It's called "Sailing By".  I wonder anyone can stay awake - it's the best lullaby I know and sends me off to sleep by about bar 8.
