Word of the day : voe

[Capt Lightning]

A nice short word. Voe means a narrow sea inlet, particularly in the Orkney and Shetland islands off the north of Scotland. It is similar to fjord.
The name is possibly Icelandic or Nordic in origin.

You are supposed to wait at least 20 hours before posting another WOD. Not my rules, but the thread creator's:

Twenty hours from now, the word would have been forgotten. Better early than never, I always say.

That thread pointed out that it had been 20 hours since someone last posted, not wait 20 hours. It was stating that it had been too inactive of late. You do not have to wait 20 hours to post at all.

Did the last word receive enough replies? Still not a hard and fast rule from what I've observed on here.

On a rainy day, my friend Leif decided to try his luck at fishing in the voe.

Good word, Capt Lightening!

Well, the mods haven't really enforced it yet it bothers some of us.

We couldn't have picked a worse day to row our boat across the voe, as the swells at times were 3'.

There is a biscuit called Voe in Australia...I often cross the voe in my little boat to buy it
