1
00:00:02,900 --> 00:00:06,800
It's never too late to go on the
adventure of a lifetime.

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,040
Gybe ho!

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,600
But when your experience of sailing
on the high seas is limited...

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,520
Ooh, bloody hell.

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,720
This is completely outside
our comfort zone.

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,040
..and your crew mate
is just as rusty...

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,480
Argh.

8
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,880
..things don't always go
according to plan.

9
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,760
Man overboard.

10
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,160
Houses that way.

11
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,000
Oh, right.
We're not totally up to it.

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,080
Let's admit that.

13
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,800
We'll attempt to tame
this glorious traditional yacht.

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,720
I just want to learn, I suppose.
Can I still do it?

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,440
I want to feel master
of this fabulous big boat.

16
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,800
Urgh!

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,640
At least, not feel too incompetent.

18
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,960
Ooh!

19
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,920
Can we pull together as a team?

20
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,160
Come on, John. Faster, faster.

21
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,720
I'm going as fast as I humanly can.

22
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,600
Or will old rivalries get
the better of us?

23
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:00,880
OK. Lee ho.

24
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Helm's alee, actually.
Not in my language.

25
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,680
You shouting puts me off.

26
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,240
As we explore Britain's
magnificent coastline.

27
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,880
It's one of the best day's sailing
I think I've ever had.

28
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:12,560
This is proper sailing.

29
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:28,720
For the fourth and final leg
of our epic sailing adventure,

30
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,040
we've returned to the
historic port of Falmouth.

31
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,720
Over the past three weeks,
we've been learning how to handle

32
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,440
Bonaventure,
our 50-foot long Bermudan cutter.

33
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,360
Ready to go about? Ready.

34
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,040
Ready. Lee ho.

35
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,920
Under the watchful eye of
two professional crew,

36
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,880
we've navigated courses through
the Thames Estuary

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,840
with its maze of sandbanks.

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,840
We're not out of the woods yet,
Captain. We're doomed.

39
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,800
The busy shipping lanes
of the Solent.

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,400
HORN BLOWS
What's he doing that for?

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,040
That means, get out of the way.

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,240
And the treacherous Cornish coast.

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480
We are heading for the rocks.
Yeah, well done.

44
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,760
But now it's time to go it alone.

45
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,960
For this final leg,

46
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,280
Michael and I have been given
command of Bonaventure.

47
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,880
It will be our responsibility to
navigate and sail east

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,880
along the coast of Devon to Brixham.

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,240
We hope to arrive with our yacht
and our friendship still intact.

50
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,560
It's a new world for us,
you know, Michael, this.

51
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,800
This is where I show my strength.

52
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,960
It's a moment of truth really,
isn't it? One way or another.

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,600
We're not totally up to it.

54
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,840
Let's admit that.

55
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,680
There are going to be moment when
the words help and panic

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,880
may come into it.

57
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,360
We'll come out of Falmouth here,
round St Anthony's Head.

58
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,680
The key thing to look out for is
don't sort of get too close

59
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,800
to any of the edges.

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,960
That's a nautical term, is it?
Some of the edges,

61
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,360
The edges, yeah. Yeah.

62
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,120
The question of who's in charge
has still not been quite resolved.

63
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,400
Only problem about Michael is that
he does think instinctively

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,080
that he's the authority figure.

65
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,560
It comes from all those years
of news reading.

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,720
We don't want to place the boat
or ourselves in any kind of

67
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,000
jeopardy, do we, John? No.

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,480
So I think you really should take a
bit of a back-seat.

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,840
But there will be moments
when I will take command.

70
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,320
If things get difficult.

71
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,280
A lot of the other time
I will let you be captain.

72
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,680
That's roughly the plan.

73
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,640
Is that OK? All right, it's a deal.

74
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,440
We sail on the tide tomorrow
morning, which gives me an

75
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,640
entire afternoon to deal with
an issue that's been the cause

76
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:37,560
of bad blood between John and me
since we first became shipmates.

77
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,240
This fishing business has proved
to be a bit of a point of

78
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,920
difference between John and me.

79
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,320
So what I've arranged

80
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,840
is to meet up with some
proper fisherman

81
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,880
who actually catch fish for a
living, and then maybe he can

82
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,480
get it out of his system
and we can get on with the sailing.

83
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,680
You don't feel...
Your nose isn't put out of joint?

84
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,680
No. With a real fisherman and
all that sort of stuff.

85
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,640
No, the great fisherman
always listens to other fishermen.

86
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,000
The great fisherman has thus far
failed to catch a single fish.

87
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,440
Perhaps brothers Ivor and Cameron
will help improve his luck.

88
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,080
What are our chances?

89
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,480
Well, the chances are pretty slim
because of the time of day

90
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,240
and that sun is really high.

91
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,400
That's the reason we never caught
anything. That's the reason.

92
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,640
The great fisherman didn't actually
realise that fishing in the

93
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,240
middle of the day, which is what we
were doing, is not a terribly

94
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,640
good idea because the fish don't
like the bright light.

95
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960
You won't see any mackerel boats
out here catching mackerel

96
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,640
this time of day. No, exactly.
Be early morning or late evening.

97
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,720
Exactly.

98
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,240
They're obviously grateful that John
has shared some of his

99
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,240
encyclopaedic knowledge of
mackerel fishing with them.

100
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,360
Ivor and Cameron get back
to their day job.

101
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,120
OK.

102
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,440
I caught all these.

103
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,920
Caught all these yourself.

104
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,160
Yeah, get your hands in there, John.
Get in there.

105
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,680
That's too small, isn't it? Yeah.

106
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,480
Well, if it's too small, what
we've got to do with small stuff,

107
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,640
we throw it over the side.

108
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,000
What about that one?

109
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,200
Try that one again, John.
Though it's a female.

110
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,080
Oh, right. It's carrying its eggs.

111
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,880
Oh, right.
So it'll have to go back.

112
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,600
Oh, right. That's the future there.

113
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,960
OK, good luck and all that.

114
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,440
Soon we come to understand why
crab fishing is considered

115
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,120
such a dangerous profession.

116
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,840
Do they... Do they nip?

117
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:19,400
They do, actually. Yeah, they do
nip. No, you need the gloves.

118
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,800
Michael courageously puts his soft
newsreader's hands on the line.

119
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,400
Some nice ones in there.

120
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Now, how do I approach... Ooh!

121
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,040
Sorry about that.

122
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,640
Well, hang on a second.

123
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,080
Time is money. Ah!

124
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Lovely. That's the female.

125
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Hold on. Oh no, careful now.

126
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,400
Got to gauge it.

127
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,480
Gauge it.

128
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,280
Yeah, that's a goner.

129
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:42,760
Come on, Michael, hurry up.

130
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,080
Yeah, come on.

131
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,920
Let go! Oh, that's a nice big one.

132
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,200
Look at that!

133
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:51,880
It was actually quite exciting.

134
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,160
For the first very time,
I can see the point of fishing.

135
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,560
It's a hard job though, isn't it?

136
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,000
I mean, physically, it's very hard.
Very physical job, yeah.

137
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,800
Six days a week, 12 hours a day.

138
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,520
Really? Yeah.

139
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,200
Well, that's illegal, isn't it?

140
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,520
You only get in life what you put
into it, and if you put time

141
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,680
and effort in anything, it's said
you will come out smelling of roses.

142
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,840
Yeah, well that's why I...
You don't smell of roses.

143
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,760
Not on here. I have to tell you.

144
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,440
THEY LAUGH

145
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,440
Returning to port, the great
fisherman is in a reflective mood.

146
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,240
We've learnt something,
haven't we, today?

147
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,000
Well, we've caught something, which
is more to the point, which I...

148
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,960
OK. ..never thought we would.

149
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,040
When we're fishing again,
which we will be, which will be.

150
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,040
Early morning, late evening.
That's it.

151
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,440
Will we be sailing early morning
and late evening?

152
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,440
Shouldn't think so.
THEY LAUGH

153
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,240
No, we will. Of course we will.

154
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,840
Our catch of the day,
two magnificent spider crabs.

155
00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:47,200
Mine's bigger than your...

156
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,920
No actually, I think yours
is bigger than mine.

157
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,160
Now to find someone who knows how
to remodel them into our dinner.

158
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,320
Mylor crab linguine. Yeah, right.

159
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,040
Hi.

160
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,080
Hello, gentleman.
What have we got here?

161
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,240
A couple of really
first class spider crabs.

162
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,480
How long is it going to take?

163
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,160
About 15, 20 minutes.
Oh yes, excellent.

164
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,560
We'll have a drink while we're
waiting, John. That'll do.

165
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,320
Thank you. Good stuff.
We certainly will.

166
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Well, another successful day.
Absolutely.

167
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,360
Gentleman, your crab linguine here.

168
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,560
Thanks very much.

169
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,600
I think it tastes better
because we caught it.

170
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Does make a difference.
It does, yeah.

171
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,960
We are harvesting the sea.

172
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,400
It's not just two greedy old men
eating crab linguine.

173
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,840
It is just two greedy old men
eating crab linguine.

174
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,360
It's two hunters.

175
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,000
Hunters. Hunter-gatherers.

176
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,120
Mm. Mm.

177
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,800
The following morning,

178
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,640
John and I prepare to take command
of Bonaventure for the first time.

179
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,600
Today we're sailing to Plymouth,

180
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,880
and this is for me and for Michael,
this is a big test.

181
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640
The trickiest thing actually
is leaving the dock.

182
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,520
This is the most dangerous bit.

183
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,480
Right, OK,
what do you want me to do?

184
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,040
When I've got the engine on,
and at my command...

185
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Isn't the engine on? No, it's not.
No, it isn't.

186
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:11,880
Oh, right. Yeah.
At my command. Yeah.

187
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,440
At your command, yeah.

188
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,080
..I want you to release
the bowline.

189
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,840
Be ready to release this line.

190
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,360
Yes. Again, at my command.

191
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,760
Yes. At the precise moment,
optimum moment for us to leave the

192
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,000
dock without crashing
into everybody else.

193
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,680
OK. That's fine.

194
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,000
The key thing with Michael is to
make sure that he feels

195
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,040
he's in charge. So I'll do that.

196
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,280
We've become a couple in this boat.

197
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,000
I know how couples work, by games.

198
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,720
But I will not start doing this
until I am told by you to do so.

199
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,440
Exactly so. All right. Excellent.

200
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,280
Perfect. We're in
complete understanding.

201
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,160
What a team!
Release the bow, please.

202
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,200
To ensure 22 tonnes of boat don't
become a permanent feature of

203
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,120
Falmouth dock, our professional crew
keep a watchful eye.

204
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,160
Slip the stern, please.

205
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,480
OK. Thank you.

206
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:17,880
Well done, John.
Thank you very much. OK.

207
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,680
Can you tidy up the lines? OK.

208
00:09:20,680 --> 00:09:21,800
I will, and I will now...

209
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,360
And bring in the fenders, please.

210
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:25,720
I will.

211
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,240
Michael takes to the role of
captain all too easily.

212
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,320
Morning.

213
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,640
You're getting the sail out.
No, no, no, John. No, no.

214
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:36,800
You are. No, no.

215
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,400
No, you're doing all that heaving.

216
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,680
No, no, but you could do it.

217
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,360
I couldn't.
I haven't got the strength.

218
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,720
You're, you know, muscle.
You're looking particularly...

219
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,400
Toned. Seriously, do you want
me to...? I think you'd do better.

220
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:47,600
THEY LAUGH

221
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,960
Work a bit harder, please.

222
00:09:53,680 --> 00:09:55,640
Put a bit more pressure on the rope.

223
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,600
Faster.

224
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,720
Was that OK? That's fine.

225
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,640
Not too worn out?
No, no, it was brilliant.

226
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:06,800
We've done the main sail.

227
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,240
No, not we've done it.

228
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,760
I've done it. All right.

229
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,160
If you let that out a bit, and then
we'll let the main out a bit.

230
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,720
That's pretty good.

231
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:20,840
OK, keep going.

232
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,120
No, keep going.

233
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,520
Go another ten degrees.

234
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,240
I know it's quite far out,
but that's good anyway.

235
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,480
We're still heading
directly into the wind.

236
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,920
Well, if anyone points and sniggers
at us from other yachts...

237
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,000
We'll...

238
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,240
..I will give them an Anglo-Saxon
sign and possibly

239
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,760
shout an Anglo-Saxon shout.

240
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,320
Let's flip the engine off.

241
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,320
OK.

242
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,280
OK, you press the button in.

243
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,680
I know, I know. OK.

244
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,160
Well done.

245
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,040
What do you think?
I think it's terrific.

246
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,680
I think we've accomplished
something rather good here. We have.

247
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:55,960
In a not very elegant
but effective way.

248
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,200
Next stop, Plymouth.

249
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,720
Well, yes.

250
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,360
There might be some adventures.

251
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,420
THEY LAUGH

252
00:11:04,420 --> 00:11:06,620
Michael and I are bound
for Plymouth.

253
00:11:06,620 --> 00:11:09,020
Tell me when you think it looks OK.

254
00:11:09,020 --> 00:11:11,500
In command of our yacht,
Bonaventure,

255
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:14,260
with no help from
our professional crew.

256
00:11:14,260 --> 00:11:17,060
This trip could take
some time though.

257
00:11:17,060 --> 00:11:19,740
These are amongst the calmest
weather conditions recorded

258
00:11:19,740 --> 00:11:21,260
this century.

259
00:11:21,260 --> 00:11:23,380
So we're bringing out our big gun.

260
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:27,340
That is a spinnaker.

261
00:11:27,340 --> 00:11:29,260
That gives us a bit of oomph,
doesn't it?

262
00:11:31,140 --> 00:11:33,340
It's such a big sail

263
00:11:33,340 --> 00:11:36,060
that in light winds
it can really

264
00:11:36,060 --> 00:11:37,780
get the boat to fly along.

265
00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:44,180
With her spinnaker powered up,

266
00:11:44,180 --> 00:11:47,380
Bonaventure glides
across the glassy seas,

267
00:11:47,380 --> 00:11:51,380
and so John decides to treat us
to some in-flight entertainment.

268
00:11:51,380 --> 00:11:53,860
"Like a mirror sleeps the ocean,

269
00:11:53,860 --> 00:12:00,100
"and the anxious steersman sees
round him neither stir nor motion.

270
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:03,540
"Not a breath of wind is stirring.

271
00:12:03,540 --> 00:12:06,900
"Dread the hush as of the grave.

272
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:11,820
"In the weary waste of waters,
not the lifting of a wave."

273
00:12:13,620 --> 00:12:14,820
It is moving, isn't it?

274
00:12:14,820 --> 00:12:16,500
THEY LAUGH

275
00:12:19,020 --> 00:12:23,500
When you've stopped reading poems,
can you just take over the boat?

276
00:12:23,500 --> 00:12:26,420
So that I can go and cook
the captain his lunch.

277
00:12:26,420 --> 00:12:28,620
OK, go on. Go on.

278
00:12:28,620 --> 00:12:31,540
When you said the captain his lunch,
was that my lunch?

279
00:12:31,540 --> 00:12:33,740
I will leave that
deliberately ambiguous.

280
00:12:33,740 --> 00:12:35,980
I want...I want my lunch.
All right. All right.

281
00:12:38,860 --> 00:12:41,820
I'm making tagliatelle pasta.

282
00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:44,380
We've got some rather nice sausages.

283
00:12:44,380 --> 00:12:46,380
Everything under complete control.

284
00:12:46,380 --> 00:12:47,980
How well is he going to do this?

285
00:12:47,980 --> 00:12:52,620
He's got to do it well, not just
any old, you know, sausages.

286
00:12:52,620 --> 00:12:55,540
You need a certain amount
of calm and determination

287
00:12:55,540 --> 00:12:57,260
to cook a good sausage.

288
00:12:57,260 --> 00:12:59,140
John's very fussy.

289
00:12:59,140 --> 00:13:01,260
He'll be disappointed
it's not lobster.

290
00:13:03,260 --> 00:13:04,540
This takes skill.

291
00:13:04,540 --> 00:13:05,900
Ooh!

292
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:07,140
Ow! Ah!

293
00:13:08,380 --> 00:13:09,580
HE MUTTERS

294
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:10,980
How's it going, Michael?

295
00:13:10,980 --> 00:13:12,900
Only another hour.

296
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:15,740
An hour? Do you know what
time is it, Michael?

297
00:13:15,740 --> 00:13:17,300
It's... It's quarter to two.

298
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:18,780
It's well within the lunch hour.

299
00:13:18,780 --> 00:13:21,700
It isn't, actually.
Quarter to two is a very late lunch.

300
00:13:21,700 --> 00:13:22,820
Control yourself.

301
00:13:22,820 --> 00:13:24,180
Any beer by any chance?

302
00:13:24,180 --> 00:13:26,740
I could probably get you a glass
of wine if you wanted.

303
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:28,620
Oh, if you could.
That would be nice.

304
00:13:28,620 --> 00:13:31,580
Let's just get the saus-ages out.

305
00:13:33,380 --> 00:13:34,460
Bugger.

306
00:13:35,780 --> 00:13:38,060
Ah! Ah, ah, ah!

307
00:13:38,060 --> 00:13:39,220
Everything OK?

308
00:13:39,220 --> 00:13:40,420
Um...

309
00:13:40,420 --> 00:13:41,780
Yes, I think so.

310
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:45,780
Wasn't like this on MasterChef,
I can tell you.

311
00:13:47,020 --> 00:13:49,060
Not anything like as much pressure.

312
00:13:49,060 --> 00:13:50,980
John. Oh, yeah.

313
00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:53,300
Don't let anybody say
I don't look after you.

314
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:54,660
Oh, how lovely.

315
00:13:54,660 --> 00:13:56,180
Look at that.

316
00:13:56,180 --> 00:13:57,860
OK, to hell with the steering.

317
00:13:57,860 --> 00:13:59,660
THEY LAUGH

318
00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:01,460
I know, but this is rather classy.

319
00:14:01,460 --> 00:14:02,900
I do like the colour scheme.

320
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:04,580
It is good, isn't it? Mmm.

321
00:14:04,580 --> 00:14:06,260
It's surprisingly good.

322
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:07,380
Mmm. Mmm.

323
00:14:07,380 --> 00:14:09,700
Say it through gritted teeth.

324
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:11,380
This is rather good.

325
00:14:14,700 --> 00:14:16,900
Am I the only one drinking wine?
You are.

326
00:14:20,340 --> 00:14:23,740
Michael's sausage surprise
has been a triumph,

327
00:14:23,740 --> 00:14:27,580
and I'm thinking he should resign
as captain and become ship's cook.

328
00:14:27,580 --> 00:14:31,460
But my thoughts are interrupted
by some unexpected visitors.

329
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:35,140
Oh, look, a dolphin.

330
00:14:35,140 --> 00:14:37,540
Oh, wow. A dolphin.

331
00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:45,700
Oh, that's lovely.

332
00:14:49,220 --> 00:14:51,220
It's been a great day's sail,
actually.

333
00:14:51,220 --> 00:14:52,420
36 miles.

334
00:14:52,420 --> 00:14:54,860
We did it by ourselves,
which was great.

335
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:57,540
It's one of those punch the air
kind of days.

336
00:14:58,980 --> 00:15:03,740
Approaching Plymouth, I stage the
most polite mutiny in naval history.

337
00:15:03,740 --> 00:15:05,620
Righto.

338
00:15:05,620 --> 00:15:07,060
You're finished, I'm taking over.

339
00:15:07,060 --> 00:15:08,660
THEY LAUGH

340
00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:11,140
And bring us into the historic port,

341
00:15:11,140 --> 00:15:15,300
past some of the grandest waterfront
property this side of Venice.

342
00:15:22,660 --> 00:15:24,300
Very good sailing, wasn't it?

343
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:25,860
It was great sailing and...

344
00:15:25,860 --> 00:15:28,100
Well, that feeling
of doing it ourselves.

345
00:15:28,100 --> 00:15:30,700
OK, let's party.

346
00:15:30,700 --> 00:15:32,860
Let's party.
THEY LAUGH

347
00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:34,500
Preposterous. That is prepo...

348
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:37,100
That's the silliest thing
you've said in days.

349
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:38,700
Let's party. Did you hear that?

350
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:45,180
The next morning I'm pleased
I ignored Michael's suggestion

351
00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:48,660
that we stay up all night
dancing at an illegal rave.

352
00:15:48,660 --> 00:15:50,620
We're off to Salcombe today.

353
00:15:50,620 --> 00:15:52,380
Should take us about four hours.

354
00:15:52,380 --> 00:15:56,020
Although I think I prefer
the bleary-eyed Captain Buerk

355
00:15:56,020 --> 00:15:59,460
to the bright-eye
and bushy-tailed variety.

356
00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:00,820
Can we discuss the ropes?

357
00:16:00,820 --> 00:16:03,180
We can, we can.
I think that...

358
00:16:03,180 --> 00:16:05,460
I think with the
wind blowing this way,

359
00:16:05,460 --> 00:16:08,380
that as soon as the bow's that way
it's going to take us off anyway.

360
00:16:08,380 --> 00:16:10,580
Then we'll release the bow.

361
00:16:10,580 --> 00:16:13,380
No, then we'll put the
slipping line on the bow and...

362
00:16:13,380 --> 00:16:15,140
I think you can just
release it, John.

363
00:16:15,140 --> 00:16:17,460
Well, that's pretty casual.
I mean, the great sailor...

364
00:16:17,460 --> 00:16:19,220
You are casual.
..always is ready to...

365
00:16:19,220 --> 00:16:21,540
I'm relying you
to leap in an agile way.

366
00:16:24,420 --> 00:16:25,660
Yeah, OK.

367
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:31,580
You OK, John? Yeah.

368
00:16:33,380 --> 00:16:35,140
Neatly done.

369
00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:36,500
Let's get going.

370
00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:38,140
You can slip the stern, please.

371
00:16:41,460 --> 00:16:43,300
I just don't need instructions
and orders.

372
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:44,940
I just do it all just like that.

373
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:47,700
I just know what I'm doing
at every point. All right.

374
00:16:55,220 --> 00:16:57,100
OK, ready to slip, John?

375
00:16:57,100 --> 00:16:58,660
No, not yet.

376
00:16:58,660 --> 00:17:01,020
Not yet? I'm just...
No, you only slip at one end.

377
00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:03,020
Oh, right, OK.
You've only got to slip it through.

378
00:17:03,020 --> 00:17:04,620
You don't have to release
the other side.

379
00:17:07,900 --> 00:17:10,260
OK, we're released. OK. We off?

380
00:17:10,260 --> 00:17:11,260
We're off.

381
00:17:12,380 --> 00:17:14,620
We're off on another
great adventure.

382
00:17:14,620 --> 00:17:18,940
Only this adventure is better
for the captain than for his crew.

383
00:17:18,940 --> 00:17:20,700
Can you bring the fenders in?

384
00:17:26,660 --> 00:17:28,420
He's a bit bossy,

385
00:17:28,420 --> 00:17:30,820
whereas the great captain's
just calmly indicating.

386
00:17:30,820 --> 00:17:33,980
Now, for some reason,
Michael hasn't grasped this.

387
00:17:33,980 --> 00:17:36,820
Convinced it's only a matter of time
before the brutal

388
00:17:36,820 --> 00:17:40,820
Captain Buerk has me flogged,
I decide to stage another mutiny.

389
00:17:44,980 --> 00:17:46,780
I think we could do
a bit of fishing.

390
00:17:46,780 --> 00:17:48,980
The sun is not too high.

391
00:17:48,980 --> 00:17:51,420
Do we have to, John? I mean, really.
What, fishing?

392
00:17:51,420 --> 00:17:52,940
Yes. Of course we do.

393
00:17:52,940 --> 00:17:54,660
Otherwise we'll never catch a fish.

394
00:17:54,660 --> 00:17:56,460
You never have caught a fish.
I know.

395
00:17:56,460 --> 00:17:59,500
That's the whole point. But
that's...that's because we give up.

396
00:18:03,460 --> 00:18:04,660
What's in there?

397
00:18:04,660 --> 00:18:07,860
This is something you'd like
from your time in the jungle.

398
00:18:08,980 --> 00:18:10,140
Oh.

399
00:18:10,140 --> 00:18:14,060
Now these are ragworms,
and the fish just, they love it.

400
00:18:14,060 --> 00:18:16,340
Look at it, trying to
bend round to give me a...

401
00:18:16,340 --> 00:18:17,780
But we're not asking you to eat it.

402
00:18:17,780 --> 00:18:19,100
Look at it wriggling.

403
00:18:20,260 --> 00:18:21,340
OK.

404
00:18:21,340 --> 00:18:22,620
If I hold the hook.

405
00:18:22,620 --> 00:18:25,500
That should go. Don't stab me.
That'll be easier. No, I won't.

406
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:28,100
Look, it's got pincers
rather than or is it...?

407
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:29,380
No, it's flesh-eating.

408
00:18:29,380 --> 00:18:32,340
Argh! Ah!

409
00:18:32,340 --> 00:18:34,740
I think we need to talk to it.

410
00:18:34,740 --> 00:18:36,940
After John reads it
some of his poetry,

411
00:18:36,940 --> 00:18:40,300
the ragworm begs to be put out
of its misery and thrown overboard.

412
00:18:42,460 --> 00:18:43,900
How long do we have to do this?

413
00:18:43,900 --> 00:18:46,100
At least half an hour. Oh.

414
00:18:46,100 --> 00:18:48,500
You think of it...
It's like instant coffee for you.

415
00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:49,700
It isn't, you know.

416
00:18:49,700 --> 00:18:51,860
This is fishing as a way of life.
Hmm.

417
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:56,780
How do fisherman stay awake?

418
00:18:56,780 --> 00:18:59,300
They dream about the future,
about what they've caught,

419
00:18:59,300 --> 00:19:00,700
what they're going to catch,

420
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:03,980
and how about how fishing's better
than a lot of other things.

421
00:19:03,980 --> 00:19:05,380
What exactly?

422
00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:06,740
Well, it's better than sailing.

423
00:19:06,740 --> 00:19:08,540
THEY LAUGH

424
00:19:08,540 --> 00:19:09,860
John.

425
00:19:09,860 --> 00:19:11,340
We should be sailing now.

426
00:19:12,420 --> 00:19:14,940
A fisherman's time
is different from ordinary time.

427
00:19:14,940 --> 00:19:17,620
It certainly is. It's a...

428
00:19:17,620 --> 00:19:18,740
A couple of minutes

429
00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:20,020
It's an eternity.

430
00:19:21,180 --> 00:19:24,940
Thank God, as captain, I have the
power to bring eternity to an end.

431
00:19:27,100 --> 00:19:28,820
Even the ragworms look bored.

432
00:19:31,460 --> 00:19:32,780
Absolute bloody mystery.

433
00:19:34,420 --> 00:19:36,140
OK, the waypoint's in.

434
00:19:36,140 --> 00:19:39,060
It'll come up on that
as to what your call should be.

435
00:19:39,060 --> 00:19:40,260
Oh, good show.

436
00:19:40,260 --> 00:19:41,540
And we'll be away.

437
00:19:44,380 --> 00:19:46,340
There's something magical
about this, John.

438
00:19:46,340 --> 00:19:47,660
It's what...

439
00:19:47,660 --> 00:19:50,100
This is what sailing's all about.

440
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:52,900
To be doing something
which seems purposeful.

441
00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:54,140
Well, it is purposeful. Yeah.

442
00:19:54,140 --> 00:19:55,780
We are on a journey. We are.

443
00:19:55,780 --> 00:19:56,900
To coin a phrase.

444
00:19:56,900 --> 00:19:59,580
And also, I like the idea that
people have been doing

445
00:19:59,580 --> 00:20:01,780
this kind of thing for hundreds
of years. Yeah.

446
00:20:01,780 --> 00:20:04,620
That gives you a
sort of sense that...

447
00:20:04,620 --> 00:20:06,180
Of timelessness. Yes.

448
00:20:06,180 --> 00:20:08,300
Cos this is proper sailing.
Absolutely.

449
00:20:12,700 --> 00:20:16,100
Unlike the fish, the wind hasn't
eluded us today,

450
00:20:16,100 --> 00:20:17,660
and we reach our destination

451
00:20:17,660 --> 00:20:21,020
with plenty of time to make port,
or so we think.

452
00:20:21,020 --> 00:20:23,740
Salcombe Harbour,
this is Bonaventure. Over.

453
00:20:23,740 --> 00:20:26,580
Bonaventure, this is Salcombe
Harbour. Please go ahead, sir.

454
00:20:26,580 --> 00:20:29,540
Salcombe Harbour,
we're looking for a berth.

455
00:20:29,540 --> 00:20:31,220
Is there any chance of that? Over.

456
00:20:33,340 --> 00:20:37,740
Negative. Salcombe Harbour
has no overnight docking. Over.

457
00:20:37,740 --> 00:20:39,300
Salcombe's stuffed,

458
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:42,100
and with hopes of an
evening gin and tonic fading fast,

459
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:44,020
all seems lost.

460
00:20:44,020 --> 00:20:45,780
We should have rung up.

461
00:20:45,780 --> 00:20:47,260
We should have done.

462
00:20:47,260 --> 00:20:49,500
We're up the creek, literally.

463
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:52,500
OK. Shall I have another go and ask
them if they can...

464
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:54,700
if we can just moor for a bit.

465
00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:57,580
It turns out shouting,
"Have you any idea who I am?"

466
00:20:57,580 --> 00:20:59,860
doesn't go down well in Devon.

467
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:01,780
We're forced to moor in the channel.

468
00:21:01,780 --> 00:21:04,460
Salcombe's answer
to Piccadilly Circus.

469
00:21:07,180 --> 00:21:09,380
It's regarded as one of the
prettiest towns

470
00:21:09,380 --> 00:21:12,540
in an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty.

471
00:21:12,540 --> 00:21:15,260
Salcombe is a
popular holiday destination,

472
00:21:15,260 --> 00:21:18,140
particularly with
sailing enthusiasts.

473
00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:20,820
Which just might have something
to do with this place.

474
00:21:27,260 --> 00:21:29,100
Welcome. Hello. Thanks very much.

475
00:21:29,100 --> 00:21:33,340
There's something about
gin and tonic and sailors.

476
00:21:33,340 --> 00:21:35,660
All those blokes with the
double-breasted blue blazers

477
00:21:35,660 --> 00:21:37,260
and the pink trousers
and everything,

478
00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:39,900
they've all got a gin and tonic
in their hands.

479
00:21:39,900 --> 00:21:41,100
Yeah, absolutely.

480
00:21:41,100 --> 00:21:43,740
I think it's because gin is a
very popular drink in the Navy.

481
00:21:43,740 --> 00:21:47,300
Yeah. Indeed, you'll have heard of
Navy-strength gin, which is 57%.

482
00:21:47,300 --> 00:21:49,540
On the old Navy ships,
they'd had these big casks of gin.

483
00:21:49,540 --> 00:21:51,940
Mm. And the last thing you want is
your cask to get broken

484
00:21:51,940 --> 00:21:54,460
and then it to leak gin all over
your gunpowder, such that your

485
00:21:54,460 --> 00:21:57,020
gunpowder no longer ignites
when you need it in your cannons.

486
00:21:57,020 --> 00:22:01,220
At 57%, the minimum strength,
that strength, the gunpowder will

487
00:22:01,220 --> 00:22:02,620
still ignite even if it's been...

488
00:22:02,620 --> 00:22:04,140
even if it's got gin all over it.

489
00:22:04,140 --> 00:22:06,020
So that is why it's
called navy-strength.

490
00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:08,780
That's very useful. So, yeah
Useful bit of information.

491
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:12,820
This is our 450 litre still here.

492
00:22:12,820 --> 00:22:16,420
450 litres? That ought
to keep us going for a while.

493
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:20,660
There's a friend of mine that says
you have a gin and tonic

494
00:22:20,660 --> 00:22:22,340
when you don't feel like a drink.

495
00:22:22,340 --> 00:22:25,940
Gin's made by re-distilling
spirit with botanicals.

496
00:22:25,940 --> 00:22:28,340
The preordainment flavour
must be juniper.

497
00:22:28,340 --> 00:22:30,540
The other ingredients
are left to the producer.

498
00:22:30,540 --> 00:22:32,780
The basic process
doesn't look too complicated.

499
00:22:32,780 --> 00:22:33,940
I think...

500
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:36,140
I've got chemistry A level,
you know.

501
00:22:36,140 --> 00:22:38,700
If you wanted, you can come and have
a go at making your own gin.

502
00:22:38,700 --> 00:22:39,940
Oh, yeah. OK.

503
00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:42,140
Did you have to say
you've got a chemistry A level?

504
00:22:42,140 --> 00:22:44,260
Well, I didn't say
which grade though.

505
00:22:46,580 --> 00:22:48,060
I've already charged the still,

506
00:22:48,060 --> 00:22:50,340
so now it's just a question of
choosing our botanicals,

507
00:22:50,340 --> 00:22:52,500
putting it in a still,
and then setting it off.

508
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:54,660
He would like some raspberry.

509
00:22:54,660 --> 00:22:56,020
Yeah. Raspberry as well? OK.

510
00:22:56,020 --> 00:22:57,820
Cos raspberries are funny.
So, if...

511
00:22:57,820 --> 00:23:00,020
When you say raspberry
it makes people smile.

512
00:23:00,020 --> 00:23:02,380
There's no gunpowder onboard
Bonaventure,

513
00:23:02,380 --> 00:23:05,020
so we can afford to
water our raspberry gin down.

514
00:23:06,100 --> 00:23:08,620
So, if this turns out
to be unique and impressive,

515
00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:10,420
we want half the profits. That's...

516
00:23:10,420 --> 00:23:11,900
That's all we're saying.

517
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:14,100
But, of course,
it would irresponsible of us

518
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:18,060
to start distributing our premium
gin to the nation's off-licences.

519
00:23:18,060 --> 00:23:20,580
Well, until it's
been exhaustively tested.

520
00:23:20,580 --> 00:23:22,020
Oh, it's a lark, isn't it?

521
00:23:22,020 --> 00:23:23,700
It is a lark. What a lark.

522
00:23:28,300 --> 00:23:30,980
It's the best raspberry gin
I've ever had before.

523
00:23:30,980 --> 00:23:32,260
Or made. Or made.

524
00:23:32,260 --> 00:23:33,500
THEY LAUGH

525
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:34,540
Cheers.

526
00:23:37,940 --> 00:23:41,340
For the first time since we began
this sailing adventure,

527
00:23:41,340 --> 00:23:43,340
Michael and I have
been given command

528
00:23:43,340 --> 00:23:45,460
of our 50-foot yacht, Bonaventure.

529
00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:51,220
In historically calm conditions,
we're sailing her east

530
00:23:51,220 --> 00:23:53,260
along the South Devon Coast,

531
00:23:53,260 --> 00:23:55,780
and today's destination
is Dartmouth.

532
00:23:55,780 --> 00:23:57,460
Lovely boat.

533
00:23:57,460 --> 00:23:58,540
Thank you.

534
00:23:58,540 --> 00:24:00,380
Which do you think is the
faster boat?

535
00:24:00,380 --> 00:24:02,340
I reckon we can be faster than you.

536
00:24:02,340 --> 00:24:04,380
You reckon you can be
faster than us?

537
00:24:04,380 --> 00:24:06,380
But we're very...
We look good though, don't we?

538
00:24:06,380 --> 00:24:08,060
You're looking good, yeah.

539
00:24:08,060 --> 00:24:11,580
And you look like a block of flats,
so surely we're faster.

540
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:14,500
What about a race?

541
00:24:14,500 --> 00:24:16,940
Oh, John, come along.
Oh, do you fancy a race?

542
00:24:16,940 --> 00:24:18,180
To Dartmouth?

543
00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:19,780
Yeah. Yeah.

544
00:24:19,780 --> 00:24:21,620
A bottle of gin for the winner.

545
00:24:21,620 --> 00:24:22,900
Done.

546
00:24:22,900 --> 00:24:25,820
I'm not going to wish you good luck
because we're determined to win.

547
00:24:25,820 --> 00:24:28,580
THEY ALL LAUGH

548
00:24:28,580 --> 00:24:30,740
Who dares gins.

549
00:24:32,860 --> 00:24:35,700
With the bottle we distilled
ourselves on the line...

550
00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:39,220
Are you chaps ready
for this little duel? Over.

551
00:24:39,220 --> 00:24:40,940
..failure is not an option.

552
00:24:42,540 --> 00:24:48,780
Five, four, three, two, one.

553
00:24:48,780 --> 00:24:51,700
KLAXON BLOWS

554
00:24:51,700 --> 00:24:52,900
Come on, John.

555
00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:00,940
Well done.

556
00:25:03,660 --> 00:25:04,740
What do you think?

557
00:25:11,060 --> 00:25:12,740
Leave it out a bit?
Let it out a bit?

558
00:25:14,020 --> 00:25:15,540
There's so little wind.

559
00:25:21,420 --> 00:25:24,460
At this speed, we'll get there
by about Christmas.

560
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:34,340
Well, we are in the lead in
the world's slowest yacht race.

561
00:25:34,340 --> 00:25:38,380
Well, it's the first backwards
yacht race that I've ever seen.

562
00:25:38,380 --> 00:25:40,340
But we're going backwards
slower than they are.

563
00:25:40,340 --> 00:25:42,220
I know. Which means we're...
We're ahead.

564
00:25:44,260 --> 00:25:47,540
With the race poised on
an incredibly dull knife-edge,

565
00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:50,020
a new strategy springs to mind.

566
00:25:50,020 --> 00:25:54,020
Ben Ainslie wouldn't approve,
but it will do for us.

567
00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:57,140
Whoever is ahead when the race is
called off is the victor.

568
00:25:57,140 --> 00:25:59,820
That... Oh, that's true. Yes.

569
00:25:59,820 --> 00:26:01,060
So we call off the race.

570
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,220
And who was in front?

571
00:26:03,220 --> 00:26:04,580
Yes.

572
00:26:04,580 --> 00:26:06,940
Hello, Venetia, this is Bonaventure.

573
00:26:06,940 --> 00:26:09,140
Over.

574
00:26:09,140 --> 00:26:11,060
Poor devils.

575
00:26:11,060 --> 00:26:14,260
They're so humiliated
they're not answering the radio.

576
00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:15,420
Well, I think so...

577
00:26:15,420 --> 00:26:17,220
OVER RADIO: Venetia. Go ahead. Over.

578
00:26:17,220 --> 00:26:18,620
Oh, hello, Venetia.

579
00:26:18,620 --> 00:26:20,220
We were discussing whether or not...

580
00:26:20,220 --> 00:26:23,700
I don't know whether you know about
the international racing rules,

581
00:26:23,700 --> 00:26:26,100
which show that
if the race is called off,

582
00:26:26,100 --> 00:26:29,300
the winner is whichever yacht
is in front at that time.

583
00:26:29,300 --> 00:26:31,460
Do you agree with that?

584
00:26:31,460 --> 00:26:34,260
That's a negative. Over.

585
00:26:34,260 --> 00:26:38,540
We've consulted volumes of legal
documents and we're convinced that

586
00:26:38,540 --> 00:26:39,820
that is the rule. Over.

587
00:26:41,140 --> 00:26:44,420
The Venetia.
We're discussing about the gin.

588
00:26:44,420 --> 00:26:46,100
Righto, Venetia,
this is Bonaventure.

589
00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:49,700
If you declare us the winners,
we will give you a bottle of gin.

590
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:51,500
How about that? Over.

591
00:26:51,500 --> 00:26:53,900
Bonaventure, Venetia.
All accepted. Over.

592
00:26:53,900 --> 00:26:55,340
There we are. What do you think?

593
00:26:55,340 --> 00:26:57,260
The winners! We are the winners.

594
00:26:57,260 --> 00:26:59,980
We declare ourselves the winners.

595
00:26:59,980 --> 00:27:01,300
Yay!

596
00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:04,860
And so it is that by shamelessly
bribing our opponents...

597
00:27:04,860 --> 00:27:06,580
I was proud of this bottle of gin.

598
00:27:06,580 --> 00:27:08,780
..Michael and I are able
to claim victory,

599
00:27:08,780 --> 00:27:11,900
in what has been the most
pathetic race in yachting history.

600
00:27:13,700 --> 00:27:15,660
We did our best.

601
00:27:15,660 --> 00:27:17,820
I award you second place.
Thank you very much.

602
00:27:17,820 --> 00:27:19,100
Never been happier to lose.

603
00:27:19,100 --> 00:27:20,500
THEY LAUGH

604
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:22,420
Thank you very much.

605
00:27:22,420 --> 00:27:24,860
Right, Michael, well done.

606
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:26,540
And now Dartmouth.

607
00:27:26,540 --> 00:27:27,580
Dartmouth.

608
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:29,580
By the, I'm afraid, by motor.

609
00:27:29,580 --> 00:27:31,460
But we will at least get there.
We will.

610
00:27:33,420 --> 00:27:35,060
We round Start Point,

611
00:27:35,060 --> 00:27:38,260
one of the most exposed peninsulas
on the British coast.

612
00:27:38,260 --> 00:27:40,780
With an 180-year-old lighthouse.

613
00:27:40,780 --> 00:27:43,220
Before heading north-west
along Start Bay

614
00:27:43,220 --> 00:27:45,020
towards the River Dart Estuary.

615
00:27:45,020 --> 00:27:46,380
No, keep pulling.

616
00:27:46,380 --> 00:27:48,580
It's turning.

617
00:27:48,580 --> 00:27:52,340
Along the way, the wind finally
gets its act together.

618
00:27:52,340 --> 00:27:54,260
We can now see it.
At least she's out.

619
00:27:56,060 --> 00:27:59,060
I think we can put the engine off.
Yeah.

620
00:27:59,060 --> 00:28:02,140
And at last we're able to stretch
Bonaventure's sea legs.

621
00:28:06,620 --> 00:28:08,220
Switch off, shall we?

622
00:28:08,220 --> 00:28:09,420
BEEPING

623
00:28:10,740 --> 00:28:12,220
There we go.

624
00:28:12,220 --> 00:28:15,580
That looks about right, doesn't it?
Yeah, that's about right. Yeah.

625
00:28:17,140 --> 00:28:18,780
Beautiful, isn't it? Mm.

626
00:28:18,780 --> 00:28:19,900
Isn't Devon gorgeous?

627
00:28:19,900 --> 00:28:22,940
Cornwall's a bit more rugged,
isn't it? Yes.

628
00:28:22,940 --> 00:28:24,540
The rolling hills of Devon.

629
00:28:26,500 --> 00:28:27,980
Yeah.

630
00:28:27,980 --> 00:28:30,900
Well, that's what we call
an involuntary gybe, isn't it?

631
00:28:30,900 --> 00:28:33,900
Yes, it is. And shouldn't we then...
Let's gybe back.

632
00:28:33,900 --> 00:28:36,580
Hang on. Yeah, I just want...
Or we could gybe back, yeah.

633
00:28:36,580 --> 00:28:38,860
That's it. That's it. Other way.
No problem.

634
00:28:38,860 --> 00:28:39,980
Other way.

635
00:28:39,980 --> 00:28:42,980
No, it isn't. Oh, you're...
Oh, right, OK.

636
00:28:42,980 --> 00:28:45,020
It is the other way.

637
00:28:45,020 --> 00:28:49,020
Actually, it is. You're right.
Now you see.

638
00:28:49,020 --> 00:28:51,420
Being dead sneery.
You didn't trust me.

639
00:28:51,420 --> 00:28:52,660
I didn't. Instinctive.

640
00:28:52,660 --> 00:28:54,860
I know. There we are.

641
00:28:54,860 --> 00:28:56,780
The breeze is now behind us,

642
00:28:56,780 --> 00:28:59,180
but rather than sailing
straight down wind...

643
00:28:59,180 --> 00:29:01,460
The problem here is
that there's a sandbank offshore.

644
00:29:01,460 --> 00:29:03,700
Yeah. We need to gybe. OK.

645
00:29:03,700 --> 00:29:06,420
We'll move much faster if we gybe.

646
00:29:06,420 --> 00:29:10,980
Turning the stern through the wind
and sailing a zigzag course.

647
00:29:10,980 --> 00:29:13,620
But gybing can be
a violent manoeuvre.

648
00:29:13,620 --> 00:29:15,820
Could you tell when you're
ready to gybe? Yeah, I will.

649
00:29:15,820 --> 00:29:18,700
Keep your head down.
Keep your head down. OK.

650
00:29:18,700 --> 00:29:19,700
Gybe ho.

651
00:29:23,740 --> 00:29:25,700
Right. Yeah.

652
00:29:25,700 --> 00:29:28,460
Lift this up. There we go.

653
00:29:30,500 --> 00:29:32,540
Oops. Wow.

654
00:29:32,540 --> 00:29:34,660
Was a bit dramatic.
Yeah, a bit dramatic.

655
00:29:38,660 --> 00:29:41,020
She's going well now. She is.

656
00:29:42,420 --> 00:29:43,660
And gybe ho.

657
00:29:46,740 --> 00:29:47,940
How does that look?

658
00:29:47,940 --> 00:29:49,700
I think that's...that's OK. OK.

659
00:29:51,700 --> 00:29:53,900
It's interesting.
We've just done a short manoeuvre.

660
00:29:53,900 --> 00:29:56,660
Yeah. But a lot of
concentration required. Yeah.

661
00:29:56,660 --> 00:29:58,340
And that's...
That is the fun of sailing.

662
00:29:59,860 --> 00:30:02,020
Yeah, something simple,
but what does it matter?

663
00:30:02,020 --> 00:30:04,660
We're just doing it by the wind.

664
00:30:04,660 --> 00:30:05,980
Mm. Profound again.

665
00:30:05,980 --> 00:30:07,940
I know, deep. I know.

666
00:30:07,940 --> 00:30:10,180
You'll miss me, you know.
I know. I know, I know.

667
00:30:10,180 --> 00:30:12,340
We'll miss Bonaventure too.

668
00:30:12,340 --> 00:30:14,620
True she's caused us some headaches,

669
00:30:14,620 --> 00:30:17,380
but now we're finding that
even the thought of absence

670
00:30:17,380 --> 00:30:19,460
can make the heart grow fonder.

671
00:30:19,460 --> 00:30:23,460
You get to love boats, and I'm
certainly developing a considerable

672
00:30:23,460 --> 00:30:26,700
affection for Bonaventure and I
shall be sad to say goodbye to her.

673
00:30:31,140 --> 00:30:33,700
OK? We're going to gybe.

674
00:30:33,700 --> 00:30:37,580
It's a difficult boat to sail,
but I very much enjoyed being a bit

675
00:30:37,580 --> 00:30:42,580
more active, and also I've rather
enjoyed Michael being the captain.

676
00:30:42,580 --> 00:30:44,100
Ready to go about? Yeah.

677
00:30:44,100 --> 00:30:47,900
He's just charming and he's good
fun, and he puts up with me.

678
00:30:47,900 --> 00:30:49,220
That's what I like.

679
00:30:49,220 --> 00:30:52,060
Very good, John. There we are.

680
00:30:52,060 --> 00:30:55,980
We were colleagues
and...and distant friends,

681
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:59,380
but now mates, I suppose.

682
00:30:59,380 --> 00:31:01,540
I thought we could celebrate
tonight.

683
00:31:01,540 --> 00:31:02,700
Well, we ought to.

684
00:31:02,700 --> 00:31:04,060
What about me cooking you a meal?

685
00:31:04,060 --> 00:31:06,540
A signature dish? Sort of, yes.

686
00:31:06,540 --> 00:31:09,420
No, it's good. And it's something
from me to you.

687
00:31:09,420 --> 00:31:11,620
It's sort of a little present.
Aww.

688
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:14,340
You might reciprocate. Well,
we'll... I'll provide the wine.

689
00:31:14,340 --> 00:31:16,020
Oh, that would be nice.
What do you think?

690
00:31:16,020 --> 00:31:17,540
Something white and something dry,

691
00:31:17,540 --> 00:31:19,380
and something full
and something red. Yeah.

692
00:31:19,380 --> 00:31:21,020
Oh, that's very good.
What do you think?

693
00:31:21,020 --> 00:31:23,140
Did you learn that at school?
THEY LAUGH

694
00:31:27,140 --> 00:31:30,500
No, but what I did learn in school
is that tonight's destination,

695
00:31:30,500 --> 00:31:33,820
Dartmouth,
is home to the Royal Naval College,

696
00:31:33,820 --> 00:31:35,700
where Navy officers are trained.

697
00:31:37,180 --> 00:31:38,300
Hi ho.

698
00:31:40,180 --> 00:31:42,540
What a wonderful place
to arrive at. Yeah.

699
00:31:42,540 --> 00:31:43,980
Isn't it glorious? Yes.

700
00:31:43,980 --> 00:31:45,060
So pretty.

701
00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:47,780
It's very, very pretty indeed.

702
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:50,940
Dartmouth was also the birthplace
of Thomas Newcomen,

703
00:31:50,940 --> 00:31:54,340
inventor of the first
steam-powered pumping engine.

704
00:31:54,340 --> 00:31:55,780
Call it coincidence,

705
00:31:55,780 --> 00:31:59,140
but I know someone else who's
really good at generating hot air.

706
00:31:59,140 --> 00:32:01,500
What a pretty place.

707
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:06,020
Dartmouth is just one of the
absolute jewels of the West Country.

708
00:32:06,020 --> 00:32:09,460
And people who don't holiday in
England, well, they're mad.

709
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,680
We're in Dartmouth, spending one
last night aboard our trusty yacht

710
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,080
before our final day's
sailing tomorrow.

711
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,160
We've got supplies. Good God.

712
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,440
Is this all for one meal?
It... Get on. You'll love it.

713
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,080
Reassuringly heavy, John.

714
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,600
Oh, yeah.

715
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,240
We've proved that we can sail
Bonaventure on our own,

716
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,560
so to celebrate
that momentous achievement,

717
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,680
John's treating me to one of
his signature dishes.

718
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,440
Yeah. So, this is a dish I learnt
from one of my student friends.

719
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,640
A very nice girl called Pru. Mm.

720
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,840
And she cooked this for us
in her bedsitter. Really? Really?

721
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,560
And I was incredibly impressed,

722
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,400
and I thought,
"If only I could cook that,

723
00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,920
"it would be the way to everything."

724
00:32:59,920 --> 00:33:02,320
A way to... A way to what?
..relationships. Relationships.

725
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,080
Was Pru very special to you or?

726
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,400
Oh, she was, but she was
unfortunately tied up with

727
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,720
somebody I thought inappropriate,
but anyway...

728
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,920
Inappropriate in as much as
he wasn't you? Yes.

729
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,240
But she was lovely.

730
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:15,880
What happened to her? Do you know?

731
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,360
Well, yes, I'm afraid, you know,

732
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:20,200
she's gone to
that heaven in the sky.

733
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,960
Oh, really? Yes.

734
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,280
Sadly.

735
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,840
But her chicken...

736
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,280
Her chicken lives on. It lives on.

737
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,320
For you, right.

738
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,840
Special. Right.

739
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:39,080
Pepper and salt, that kind of stuff?
I think so.

740
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,600
Or are you kind of chef who objects
to... No, no, I don't.

741
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,160
It means that I've left it
at your discretion.

742
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,400
Well? Do you know, it's really nice.

743
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,840
LAUGHING: You see?

744
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,920
There we are.

745
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,880
Very simple to do.

746
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:54,120
Mmm.

747
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,040
Mmm. Thank you, John.

748
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,640
Thank you. Thank you for the meal.

749
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,880
Yeah. Thank you for
your companionship.

750
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,120
Well... On this delightful voyage.
Thank you.

751
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,000
No, we've done it,
and this is a little celebration.

752
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,280
I'm kind of a shy person and...

753
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,760
I've noticed this.

754
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,640
I find that when
you can't say anything,

755
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,360
you...you give something.

756
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,920
You just make a gesture.

757
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,480
And that's what this
little repast is.

758
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,480
It's a gesture, just for friendship.

759
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,600
Mmm.

760
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,840
Now, we've got one thing that we've
not done, and that is there.

761
00:34:32,720 --> 00:34:35,320
I think we need to get real, John.
No, it's unfinished business.

762
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,480
No, it's unfinished business.
We need to get real.

763
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:38,840
We're going to do it.

764
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:39,920
It won't work.

765
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:42,040
We will succeed.
This time we will succeed.

766
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,040
I want you to wake up in the morning
and think,

767
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,800
"Hello, morning,
this is fish morning." All right?

768
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,560
This, apparently, is fish morning.

769
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:02,920
I couldn't actually give a toss
about fishing. Really?

770
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,880
But I hate the idea of failure.

771
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,080
Right, OK. Good.
This is our last chance.

772
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,320
Yes. Just beyond here,
there's several coves.

773
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,880
Yeah. There's one there, Dead Man's
Cove. That sounds like us.

774
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,600
That's got the right spirit of
optimism about it... It does, yeah.

775
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,680
..for a fishing expedition.
Yes. It should be Dead Fish Cove,
but there we are.

776
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,480
Anchors aweigh.

777
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,040
Armed to the teeth, John.

778
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,520
Choose your weapon.

779
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,240
Oh, I'll have this one, I think.
That's known as the Big Beast.

780
00:35:35,240 --> 00:35:37,960
The Beast? Are you going to
be casting that, John?

781
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,200
I am. I'm going to cast.

782
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,960
Well, I'm going to be
out of your way.

783
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:46,920
THEY LAUGH

784
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,440
Nearly fell in.

785
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:01,120
I've never had such bad luck fishing
except with you.

786
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,080
They used to call me Mr Lucky
when it came to fishing.

787
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,680
But oh, no.

788
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,280
No Mr Lucky today. No.

789
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,840
THEME FROM JAWS PLAYS

790
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,040
HE LAUGHS

791
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,920
What?

792
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,520
You've got one? At last.

793
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,680
MICHAEL CONTINUES LAUGHING

794
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,640
Jolly good. Now don't let go.
Now what do I do?

795
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:50,920
Yes, jolly good. That's it.

796
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,480
Oh, sea bass. Right.

797
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,720
Oh, gosh, OK.

798
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:56,840
Realising that we're probably not
going to need a bigger boat,

799
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,560
we decide to give Michael's tiddler
the gift of life

800
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,040
and return it to the waters
of Dead Man's Cove.

801
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,480
It's a bit small. Let him go.

802
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,280
I've got him, I've got him.
He's a bit small.

803
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:06,680
He's too small? He's too small.

804
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,080
Ooh!

805
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,000
Oh. The one that got away,
but we wanted it to go away.

806
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,320
We did.

807
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:13,640
That's wonderful.

808
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,560
Well done. That was really
quite thrilling.

809
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,720
We've delivered.

810
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:18,800
I'm so pleased.

811
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,560
It's...it's a bit like gambling,
isn't it?

812
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:21,760
If you get one,

813
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,000
you're hooked,
in every possible sense.

814
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,680
With the sweet fishy smell of
success in our nostrils

815
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,400
and reports of a good wind
on its way,

816
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,800
we set out
for one final sail together.

817
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,240
I'll take that. Thank you.

818
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:45,320
This will be a short jaunt
around Berry Head to Brixham,

819
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,480
part of the English Riviera.

820
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:48,600
That's a nice boat.

821
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,840
Where? Just ahead.

822
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,280
Oh, yeah, yeah. They look
very picturesque, don't they?

823
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,520
Mm. Out of the mist.
It's just fantastic.

824
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,800
What our lookout spotted is
a 19th century Brixham trawler.

825
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,720
They're known for
their distinctive red sails.

826
00:38:03,720 --> 00:38:06,960
A 400-strong fleet of them
once operated here.

827
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:08,440
Ahoy there.

828
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:09,520
Ahoy!

829
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,320
Where are you heading?

830
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,480
We're heading back to Brixham.

831
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,360
Oh, we're going there too.

832
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,000
Lovely boat.

833
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,160
Brilliant.

834
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,920
You're not bad-looking yourself.

835
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,280
THEY ALL LAUGH

836
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,720
Bye.

837
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:25,000
Cheers.

838
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,400
See you in Brixham.

839
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,360
It is terrific, isn't it?

840
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,880
It's amazing how often the
very practical looks beautiful.

841
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,920
I think we'll gybe now, John.

842
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,320
Since we left Falmouth
four days ago,

843
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,560
we've sailed Bonaventure without any
help from our two professional crew.

844
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,240
I don't think we've got
anything left to prove.

845
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:54,120
Mungo, Stella, we're going to gybe.

846
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:55,480
All hands on deck.

847
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,200
Reunited at last, and to be honest,
I'm glad of the help.

848
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,640
Captain Buerk is a bit of
a slave driver.

849
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,840
A very nice one, of course.

850
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,200
Centre up the...the main sail.

851
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,440
Last gybe of the trip.

852
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:12,680
Make it beautiful. Yes.

853
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,280
Let's put the helm over.

854
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,360
Here we go.

855
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,360
Gybe release.

856
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,560
Gybe ho!

857
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,960
I think it's almost as fast
as we've ever been.

858
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,040
I think it is.

859
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,520
We're doing really well. Yeah.

860
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,600
This is right.

861
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,680
This is better than expected. Yeah.

862
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:47,600
This really is rather
a brilliant sail.

863
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,000
Shall I have a go on the helm
while we're doing this doing?

864
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,280
If you'd like to, yes. Why not?

865
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:54,400
OK, you've got it? Yeah.

866
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,880
OK.

867
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,000
She's yours.

868
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:00,440
Gosh. It's hard, isn't it?

869
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:04,360
I see why you were smiling when
you said, "OK, hand her over."

870
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,840
Yeah. When you said, "Hand her
over," yeah, yeah, yeah.

871
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,400
It's quite a lot... It is long.

872
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,320
Luckily, I'm incredibly strong.
Well...

873
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,600
But I imagine a weak person would
find that it's very difficult. Yeah.

874
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:28,360
We are steaming along.

875
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,720
How fast are we going? Seven knots.

876
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,240
One of the best bits of
sailing we've done. Yeah.

877
00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:35,600
And it's right at the end.

878
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:40,000
So, what was our shanty?
Oh, Johnny.

879
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,280
BOTH: # Leave her, Johnny,
leave her. #

880
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,480
THEY LAUGH

881
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,000
Well, you've got to get
the West Country.

882
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,720
WITH EXAGGERATED ACCENT: # Leave
her, Johnny, leave her. #

883
00:40:50,720 --> 00:40:51,920
Err. Oh. Oh.

884
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,480
THEY LAUGH

885
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,560
We need to avoid this motorboat
that's charging towards us.

886
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,920
No, it isn't, it's a yacht.

887
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:05,200
No, it's a yacht
and it's going away from us.

888
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,440
That's worrying, isn't it?

889
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:08,920
This is terrible, John.

890
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,840
Now, you've seen the rocks,
have you, John? Seen the rock?

891
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,720
This would be... My God...

892
00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,960
This would be quite a climax.
I have seen the rock, yeah.

893
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:21,320
Oh, good, good.

894
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,680
Yeah, do you want me to wear
away a bit? Wear away a bit.

895
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,040
OK. What about that?

896
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:28,600
I think that's perfect.

897
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:42,480
It's rather a sad moment,
but a glorious moment too.

898
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,880
It's been great. Absolutely great.

899
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,040
It is a bit sad,

900
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,560
but there are exciting things
on land too, you know.

901
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,640
Congratulations. Well done, Mungo.
Well done. Well done, Mungo.

902
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,440
Well done, Stella. Well done, Mungo.
Very grateful. Aww. Thank you.

903
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:07,080
Oh. I'd forgotten you. Oh, yeah.

904
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,520
Well done.

905
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,520
The four weeks with John
have worked surprisingly well.

906
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,120
And we are now shipmates

907
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,560
for now and forever.

908
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,760
There she goes.

909
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:26,760
Good boat.

910
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,440
Good trip. Very good trip.

911
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:35,800
I think this week we stopped being
just crew on the boat

912
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,240
and took control of it,

913
00:42:38,240 --> 00:42:42,480
which is where you get the fear and
where you get the satisfaction.

914
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,320
I feel a little bit sad,
but also pleased that

915
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,680
the gruelling four weeks,
a test really,

916
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,040
has been passed.

917
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,120
We've renewed a friendship
which went back 30 years,

918
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:54,720
and that's always exciting.

919
00:42:54,720 --> 00:42:56,680
You think, "Can we do it?

920
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,920
"Can we go back
to when we were young?"

921
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:00,040
Shipmate.

922
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,320
Mate.

923
00:43:06,720 --> 00:43:10,000
The sailing, the companionship...

924
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,400
HE LAUGHS

925
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,560
..the whole experience

926
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,680
has been absolutely brilliant.

927
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,600
