-Previously

-In the last series, Dilwyn Morgan

-and John Pierce Jones...

-..sailed across Ireland's southeast

-coast in the trusty Mistress Wilful.

-It was a voyage

-full of trials and tribulations...

-..not forgetting

-unforgettable scenery.

-After one storm too many,

-John made an astounding decision...

-..that's completely unexpected.

-In Bala, Dilwyn's trying

-to come to terms with the news...

-..that John's

-about to buy a new boat.

-John's decided

-that he needs a better boat.

-One that's bigger and

-more comfortable than the Mistress.

-He's taken it upon himself

-to look for one...

-..without consulting

-Number One, as he calls me.

-He's gone to Ireland of all places,

-to buy this boat.

-It happens to be in Bere Island...

-..where we

-started our voyage last year.

-He's gone by himself, if you please,

-to see the boat.

-John's brought his son Iwan

-along for the ride.

-We're going from

-Castletownbere harbour...

-..across to Bere Island...

-..where we

-started our voyage last year.

-I'm hoping to see

-my new boat for the first time.

-It's easier

-reaching Bere Island this time.

-By ferry and car, rather than

-crossing the Celtic Sea in a boat.

-The last time we came here...

-..we were exhausted

-after our 78-hour stormy crossing.

-I remember coming through

-that small channel in the morning.

-I was so tired

-and relieved to see this place.

-I'm pleased to see it today too,

-but for different reasons.

-I'm seeing my new boat.

-I'm trying to read up

-on the boat he's fancied.

-It's considerably bigger

-as it's a Bermuda sloop.

-It's similar in terms of its sails

-and the familiar type of sailing.

-It's a bigger boat at 36 feet.

-They're meant to be luxurious.

-I've never sailed one

-but it's more like a caravan...

-..when compared to the Mistress.

-I'm sure John would be happier

-in a caravan.

-Here she is.

-This is the first glimpse

-of my new boat.

-The Mys.

-Not the Mistress but the Mystique.

-Looks good, doesn't she, Iwan?

-We've driven four hours to see this?

-You'd prefer me to buy a motorbike.

-You'd prefer me to buy a motorbike.

-

-Yes.

-I'm going to take a closer look.

-This is an impressive boat.

-I'm climbing on board

-for the first time to take a look.

-The Mystique. Miss Mystique.

-This is right up his street.

-"The main cabin

-is a comfortable living space.

-"L-shaped dining area."

-Good grief!

-It's very different

-from the Mistress.

-A stove. I have to look after

-my stomach, first and foremost.

-"A roomy cockpit

-with teak seat tops and teak grates.

-"Wet bar, ice maker...

-"..and a cocktail table

-for cockpit."

-This is where I'll eat

-Number One's feasts, isn't it, Iwan?

-"V-berth hanging locker. Double

-berth." Guess who's in the double?

-This is called the owner's cabin.

-The owner's cabin.

-It doesn't mention the type of sails

-or the equipment on board.

-It mentions nothing about safety

-equipment or the sails' condition.

-But it mentions

-that it has an en suite.

-I feel as if the basics aren't here

-for a sailing boat.

-Sails?

-Life raft? Engine?

-But I'm given a lot of information

-about the stove and the beds.

-I know I've said it before

-but I'll say it again.

-I can imagine myself

-in my dressing gown with a cuppa...

-..while Number One

-is soaking wet out on deck.

-I only hope

-he's doing the right thing.

-If he's selling the Mistress,

-I'll have a lump in my throat...

-..because

-we've been through a lot together.

-I love the Mistress,

-I have a close bond with her.

-She's like a member of the family.

-I'm sad to let her go.

-Then again,

-this fulfils a dream of mine.

-Brum-brum!

-Brrrrr!

-Some weeks later in Cardiff Bay,

-it was time for Dilwyn and John...

-..to bid farewell

-to their trusty Mistress Wilful.

-Here she is, the Mistress.

-She's looking good.

-Fair play.

-It's time to vacate the Mistress

-now that I've sold her.

-Dilwyn's helping me remove

-personal items that we'll need...

-..and leave her empty...

-..because a new owner will

-now enjoy the Mistress' pleasures.

-Well, ta-ta. She's looked after us

-well, I must say.

-I have a lump in my throat.

-I'll be sad to see her go.

-He has these grand ideas

-and that's the end of that.

-She's been very loyal.

-She's looked after us through gales

-and fierce storms, hasn't she?

-Yes, we've come a long way

-on board the Mistress...

-..since that morning

-we set sail from Porthmadog.

-We jumped on the boat in Porthmadog

-and off we went.

-I'll miss her,

-like I'd miss an old friend.

-Hopefully

-she'll be given a good home.

-Come on, Dilwyn,

-help me clear out this food.

-Will you give it a once over?

-It has the same old smell.

-Ready meals.

-Cheese, biscuits, sausages.

-Start from the beginning.

-Remember you're clearing it out,

-not making a mess.

-They'll do for the new boat.

-Two rusty tins of peas?

-Two rusty tins of peas?

-

-February 2014.

-This has been around Anglesey,

-along the Welsh coast...

-..and across to Ireland.

-Take it back to Ireland

-and make a sandwich out of it.

-These tins are a part of us.

-He has an obsession

-about not wasting food.

-Do we need a bigger dragon

-or will this do?

-It's fine.

-It's fine.

-

-We'll need this too.

-We've enough pasta

-to sail around the world...

-..not to mention Ireland.

-Everything I touch

-has a story to it.

-There's a bit of water left

-in this bottle. Shall I keep it?

-They're even taking the engine.

-Will there be anything left

-for the new owner?

-I hope you'll be looked after.

-That's all I have to say.

-Oh, well, onwards to the Mystique.

-Mystique.

-I hope the Mystique

-doesn't become a mistake!

-Let's go before I start crying.

-Go on.

-After their farewell, they must once

-again turn their sights to Ireland.

-A boat and a new adventure

-awaits them at Lawrence Cove Marina.

-Bere Island and a voyage

-without the Mistress beckons.

-It's lovely being back. We're

-surrounded by beautiful scenery.

-There's an air of excitement.

-We've travelled

-across Ireland in the car...

-..and he's been shouting at me

-to hurry, no time for a cuppa.

-Now he tells me I don't get to see

-the boat until tomorrow...

-..because it's not

-in the right place in the marina.

-It's been a long day, so we're

-going to see the Mystique tomorrow.

-It'll be at the side of a pontoon,

-so we'll see her in all her glory.

-Number One isn't impressed.

-He's a bit miffed.

-Are you sulking?

-Are you sulking?

-

-No. I don't care. It's your boat.

-It's just that I was

-so close to seeing it...

-And yet so far, Dilwyn.

-The ferry goes past the marina,

-so I have a feeling I'll see her.

-I'm not sure

-if I've seen her or not.

-He's not letting on at all.

-I don't think she's here.

-I think she's at the front.

-Shall we go and check?

-Shall we go and check?

-

-No.

-Just in case you're disappointed.

-Patience is a virtue, Dilwyn...

-..although the Mystique

-does look very attractive.

-The following day,

-the weather was perfect...

-..for Dilwyn to inspect the Mystique

-for the first time.

-Where is she?

-Where is she?

-

-I don't know.

-It feels odd being back here.

-I thought they would've moved her

-for you to see her in all her glory.

-Here she is.

-She's much bigger than I imagined.

-Quite a boat, John. She's wide.

-Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

-Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

-

-Comfortable.

-She'll be carting us around

-from now on.

-It has a lovely wide beam.

-The mast is taller than I thought.

-Motor sailers usually have small

-sails as a secondary measure...

-..but I'd say

-this'll get the best of both worlds.

-I look forward

-to taking her out for a spin.

-Before that, it's time to get on

-board to see her in all her glory.

-There's plenty of room in here.

-Look, there's a sink...

-..and a stove with a proper oven.

-Look over here.

-There's a fridge freezer.

-Dilwyn!

-I'd say this is the radar

-and this is the GPS?

-The GPS plotter, yes?

-Those cushions weren't here before.

-Where are her batteries?

-I don't know, I haven't seen them.

-Where's her engine?

-He's just asked where's her engine!

-They say there's an ice maker in

-the cockpit. I wonder where it is?

-He's talking about

-an ice maker and a fridge!

-I haven't been in the cabin

-with the cushion.

-The bed's in place.

-Oh, look at that!

-It's difficult to compare it

-with the Mistress technically...

-..because it was simple,

-with a basic GPS...

-..but I'm already picking up

-all kinds of new things.

-The engine and radar

-are unfamiliar to me.

-I'm going to start

-poring through these books...

-..to pick up

-as much information as possible.

-I'm meeting the former owner

-with a list of questions.

-How the batteries charge,

-how the sails work...

-..and any problems

-he's encountered...

-..and John's gone to lie down.

-You've got yourself a lot of boat.

-It sizable.

-Obviously

-I don't know how it sails yet...

-..but it's a different world

-for you - it's a step up.

-I'm pleased for you because going

-from buying a boat in Porthmadog...

-..to this, you've got yourself

-a yacht now, John.

-The time came to move the boat,

-test the equipment...

-..and hoist the sails

-for the first time.

-This will be tight. It's only

-been raised five or six times.

-You need a bit of Vaseline

-on the front of your luff.

-I don't have any Vaseline.

-I don't have any Vaseline.

-

-Some soap will do.

-Thank you.

-A little soap on your luff

-if things have dried out.

-If things don't go in properly.

-Are you lathering your luff?

-Are you lathering your luff?

-

-Yes, my luff's lathering up nicely.

-It's tight.

-Lather the bloomin' luff a bit more.

-Take it easy.

-He's wild. OK, keep going.

-I can't do that.

-I can't do that.

-

-One sail's been hoisted, at least.

-Heave!

-Once more. Try to pull it now, John.

-How do you get it

-back in its place, lads?

-Keep going.

-Keep going.

-

-No, I have to wait.

-Stop then. Whoa, stop. Stop.

-It's a new sail...

-..but for some odd reason

-it was bought eight years ago.

-It's only been hoisted

-about five times.

-Dilwyn's lowering the sail

-to see what's wrong.

-Once we put

-the weight of the sail on this...

-..this is meant to stay put

-and this is meant to turn like that.

-But once it bears the weight

-of the sail, this turns with that.

-The rope which hoists the sail

-twists and stops it turning.

-We don't have to sail.

-Can't we just use the one sail?

-John thinks we can go without this

-sail and just use the main sail.

-I know he thinks this is

-a motor sailer, but it scares me...

-..that he thinks we can make do

-with one sail and an engine.

-It wouldn't be practical

-and I wouldn't dream of doing that.

-You're not willing

-to do a lot of things.

-Codi Hwyl means hoist the sail.

-The programme's

-not called Ignite the Engine.

-John needs to be patient

-and stick with me a while longer.

-It'll dawn on me soon. I hope so,

-otherwise he'll be annoyed.

-He'll want food in a minute too.

-Come and hoist this for me.

-No.

-No.

-

-He's lost all interest now.

-He just wants to

-fire up the engine now.

-John's finally going to lend a hand.

-Go on. That's it.

-Keep going.

-Keep going. Keep going.

-It works.

-Perseverance has paid off.

-Well done.

-Once more?

-Once more?

-

-BLEEP

-I take it you've had enough now?

-I feel a bit of a prat

-for being so annoyed and angry.

-I'm not all bad, you know.

-We'll finish clearing the boat

-and get it ready for first light.

-We'll go out and do the proper

-trials tomorrow, but I'm pleased.

-Here's hoping that the Mystique

-will be better behaved tomorrow.

-It's morning, and Dilwyn and John

-take the Mystique into the open sea.

-How will it fare?

-It's perfect weather.

-Hopefully the boat is too.

-Well done, John.

-This should be her speed.

-Before departing,

-John wants to steer from inside.

-You take the helm...

-..and I'll go downstairs

-and try it out in the pilot's seat.

-He's imagined himself being able

-to steer and control the boat...

-..from inside the cabin below.

-I think that's what sold the boat.

-The fact there are two helms.

-One for me in the wind and rain...

-..and a comfortable one for him.

-He'll yell at me to take over.

-Are you steering?

-Yes!

-He's enjoying himself

-steering from inside.

-We can't raise the sails for a while

-because we're too close to shore.

-The wind'll push us onto the island

-if we mess around here.

-It's glorious here.

-Look at the view, John.

-It's spectacular.

-Watch where you're going

-and forget the view.

-We're leaving the Bere Island

-headland and heading for Bantry Bay.

-We're aiming for the bay...

-..then we'll turn around

-so we're facing Bere Island...

-..so we can practise

-with the sails up.

-I'll hoist the main sail first

-to see how it looks.

-Say "Good luck, Dil."

-Say "Good luck, Dil."

-

-Good luck, Dil.

-The wind has picked up now that

-you've started to hoist the sail.

-It always happens.

-It sounds very squeaky, lads.

-What's wrong?

-It's stuck.

-It's stuck.

-

-We can't get the sail out.

-It's getting stuck

-in the same place.

-It hasn't been up for a year.

-It hasn't been up for a year.

-

-The prior owner's had trouble...

-..unfurling the sail

-and he used a long piece of wood...

-..to poke it,

-like you'd poke geese with a stick.

-But I'm not very keen to do that...

-..because people at the sailing club

-would make fun of me.

-I don't care about that,

-as long as you get it up.

-Another thing to fix.

-Has John bought wisely?

-I think Number One's

-starting to lose patience.

-A stick.

-A stick.

-

-He's resorted to using a stick.

-What do you think of that,

-Pwllheli Sailing Club members?

-If a sail doesn't hoist,

-use a stick.

-Remember what I told you yesterday?

-I told you

-we should just use the main sail.

-Can I say something?

-I apologize

-for my foolish behaviour.

-I was very inconsiderate.

-That's the closest

-you'll ever get to an apology.

-Almost there.

-You sure there's no more give?

-Yes.

-Victory at last.

-Teamwork is what I call that.

-Yes!

-Is there any tea-making stuff here?

-Is there any tea-making stuff here?

-

-Yes, I think so.

-Are you going to make a cuppa?

-You won't get a bleep from me.

-We'll try and raise

-the other sail...

-..and we'll aim for

-15 minutes of sailing.

-Things eventually fall into place.

-Look, we're sailing.

-I compared the Mystique

-with going on a first date...

-..not that I remember

-that long ago...

-..but she's

-been playing hard-to-get.

-She's been difficult with her sails,

-not that it's her fault.

-She's been idle for a while.

-Like every female, she's made

-her mark early in the marriage.

-Hopefully

-she'll improve as we go on.

-It's the preparation that counts...

-..because we're going to a place

-that's quite dangerous...

-..and windy with no shelter.

-John, Dilwyn and the Mystique are

-ready to set off on a new adventure.

-But where to?

-It'd be a pity to head for home

-without taking in all the sights.

-Valentia Island for starters.

-I've hired two bikes

-from a nearby shop.

-Bikes?

-Welcome to

-the Wild Atlantic Way, John.
