-We're more or less surfing.

-It's incredible.

-This is the Mistress at her best.

-Previously, contented sailors Dilwyn

-Morgan and John Pierce Jones...

-..reached Skomer Island.

-..reached Skomer Island.

-

-We aim to cross Jack Sound tomorrow.

-This week,

-they set sail on another adventure.

-We're leaving Skomer Island after a

-wonderfully interesting time there.

-It was remarkable

-and a real honour being there.

-We're in somewhat of a rush...

-..because we have to cross

-Jack Sound first thing.

-We're running late and

-it's a very dangerous crossing...

-..due to the sound's strong current.

-There are rocks and stones

-that we have to negotiate too.

-The weather forecasters

-have got it wrong yet again.

-The Mistress is heading eastwards...

-..towards its journey's end

-in Cardiff Bay.

-That's the intention, at least.

-We're crossing the sound now.

-We're turning into Jack Sound,

-as it's known.

-It's very treacherous water.

-Thanks again, weather forecasters.

-Over there is Little Sound,

-which is also viable...

-..but we've been warned against

-crossing it since we're not locals.

-Like every good captain, I've handed

-over the reins to Number One...

-..to get us across Jack Sound.

-It's incredibly dangerous.

-Even more dangerous

-than Bardsey Island and Ramsey.

-The jaws of the rocks

-are jutting out.

-Number One is unusually silent.

-He's concentrating deeply...

-..on the job at hand...

-..which is to steer us safely

-through Jack Sound.

-There's danger ahead.

-Once we're out of here,

-we'll hoist the sail.

-We've used so much of the engine...

-..we need to refuel.

-We've decided...

-..to shelter at Milford Haven.

-I'd say that's a blessing.

-Thanks to Dilwyn's

-sailing prowess...

-..the Mistress

-has safely crossed Jack Sound.

-Can we get a smile now?

-As you can see,

-I'm happy and talkative once again.

-I can tick off Jack Sound

-in my little black book.

-Right, John, the time has come.

-I'm going to hoist the sail. I

-thought I'd start with a small one.

-We're still using the engine.

-Yes, we are. I'll hoist a small

-handkerchief to keep her stable.

-After that,

-I'll treat you to a cuppa.

-A nice cup of tea.

-Which course are we taking?

-Which course are we taking?

-

-130.

-Get us up to 180

-once I've hoisted the sail.

-Shout out 180 when we get there.

-We're at 130 now, Number One.

-Spot-on.

-Splice the main sail!

-Whatever that means.

-I'm not sure John knows either.

-180, please.

-OK, 180!

-OK, 180!

-

-Thanks!

-We're up one reef instead of two

-like before. It's still very choppy.

-You look like a puffin.

-A puffin!

-If you go in the fridge...

-..you'll find

-some stale bread rolls.

-Pass them here and I'll throw them.

-Don't throw them. They're fine.

-They're wrapped in plastic.

-They'll last for months.

-You can tell you were born with

-a silver spoon in your mouth!

-We could join the circus.

-We're leaving a trail of buns.

-Those are for the mackerel.

-Hey!

-He's chuffed

-now he's got us through Jack Sound.

-Yesterday and the day before...

-..he had a face like tripe.

-I admit that.

-It's odd

-how the sail stabilises the boat.

-Yes, it steadies it instead

-of it being like a pendulum.

-When the boat's balanced, you

-should be able to steer like this.

-When you see someone

-holding on for dear life...

-..you know the sails are all wrong.

-The longer a man lives,

-the more he sees and learns.

-We've left Skomer

-and Jack Sound in the distance...

-..and we're slowly approaching

-the tip of St Ann's Head.

-St Ann has a pimple

-right on the tip of her nose.

-The wind

-is against the tide once again.

-It's bound to happen here -

-the tide is leaving Milford Haven...

-..in a northerly direction.

-Both will meet at Ann's pimply nose.

-Yes, at Ann's pimply nose.

-We expect big waves every time

-we pass the tip or the head.

-Yes, you should

-take that as the norm.

-And if you can avoid tips...

-And if you can avoid tips...

-

-The better it'll be.

-The secret

-is to keep far enough away.

-How's that?

-That's nigh on perfect, John.

-I can't turn at the moment

-because we've got company.

-I don't want to jibe in front of it.

-It wouldn't go down well

-in the club.

-I was coming along

-in the catamaran...

-This chap

-was jibing along all over the shop!

-In his very old Halcyon 27.

-In his very old Halcyon 27.

-

-Yes, old boy!

-The name was Mistress Wilful.

-If you see her, keep well away

-from them. They're absolute idiots.

-A couple of buffoons!

-We're out in the haven now.

-This is a new experience for me.

-I've never steered in the fog.

-Number One

-is getting himself together.

-Are you alright, John?

-Are you alright, John?

-

-Yes, I'm fine.

-Remember

-to keep a lookout behind too.

-Big ships come from behind...

-Crikey! There's one coming!

-There's a huge one coming

-on our bow. Come and help me.

-I'm serious now.

-It's heading towards us.

-It's alright, keep going.

-It's alright, keep going.

-

-No, it's heading for Pembroke Dock.

-It's an Irish ferry.

-He knows we're here.

-The ship

-emerged from the fog like a monster.

-The Mistress looks like

-a toy boat in comparison.

-Grab hold of it, Dilwyn!

-I couldn't turn it then.

-It was really hard

-fighting against it.

-It's dragging us

-to the main shipping channels.

-Yes, for a little while.

-Remember to look behind you.

-I don't have eyes in the back

-of my head, so you have to help me.

-I'm not a lone sailor after all.

-I'm not a lone sailor after all.

-

-What would you do if you were alone?

-I'd never sail on my own.

-That would never ever, ever happen.

-They approach

-the busy port of Milford Haven.

-Did you work on ships like these

-when you were at sea?

-Similar ones to these, yes,

-but I worked on a variety.

-General cargo ships to begin with.

-To where did you travel?

-From Bombay

-to Karachi in Pakistan...

-..and around the Persian Gulf.

-Usually we'd unload the cargo there.

-I'd say this ship

-is carrying petrol or diesel.

-You can usually tell...

-..just by looking at its lifeboat.

-Say there's a fire

-or it explodes...

-..the lifeboat

-is strategically placed.

-It'd submerge right away...

-..like a submarine

-before rising to the surface.

-It's a sign that the ship

-is carrying hazardous cargo.

-The town of Neyland is over there.

-Having safely left the harbour, the

-boat is moored in Neyland marina...

-..so that the engine can be

-refuelled and the men can rest.

-I'll control the speed,

-you take control of the helm.

-Here we are,

-we've finally arrived in Neyland.

-I don't know

-the Welsh name for this town.

-We're moored

-in a lovely pontoon in Neyland.

-We're safe in a cosy little marina.

-There are far more expensive boats

-than the Mistress in Neyland marina.

-The men are keen to sample

-how the other half live.

-How are you, Mike?

-Nice to see you. This is John.

-I hear

-you've got a bit a treat for him?

-Yes, having done the sailboat bit...

-..with strings and sails flapping...

-And hanging on for dear life.

-And hanging on for dear life.

-

-Cockney, John?

-I want to introduce you

-to a different world of boating.

-That's to go in a substantial

-high-end quality motorboat.

-It's been hand made

-by him individually.

-I hope he doesn't give him any ideas

-about building his own boat.

-Thanks very much.

-Blimey!

-Look at this - instead of

-hitting my head in the Mistress...

-..and undressing like this

-to get into bed...

-..there's a huge double bed in here.

-It's like a hotel.

-It's better than most hotels.

-Dilwyn, come down here and have a

-look where you'd prepare my food...

-..and where you'd tend to me

-and things like that.

-Goodness me, John!

-I've never seen

-a microwave on a boat before.

-I could cook for him all day here...

-..instead of roughing it on the

-Mistress, trying to prepare food.

-An oven and a fridge.

-It has a fridge, John.

-A proper functioning fridge.

-Not a box we have to

-plug into a cigarette lighter.

-It's a lovely bed.

-I'd have no trouble sleeping with

-all this room. That folds across.

-It's a king-size bed.

-John, I'm in the toilet now

-and it's incredible.

-There's a sink

-with hot running water.

-It's a wet room, so you can have

-a shower when the door's closed.

-This is one of its

-most remarkable features.

-This shows owner Chris's

-devotion for his boat.

-This isn't glass,

-it's a piece of metal he's found...

-..that he's polished by hand.

-It says it all

-about the man and his boat.

-This is the life.

-It's a little different

-from what you're used to, lads.

-I'm about to go out

-and sit beside Lord Muck.

-It's a pleasure

-seeing him enjoying himself so much.

-I might persuade him to buy this,

-not that I dislike the Mistress.

-I love the Mistress, but I love

-this too. How's it going, John?

-It's wonderful.

-We can sit at the back of this

-and do nothing but enjoy ourselves.

-It's a different world.

-How much does a boat like this cost?

-How much does a boat like this cost?

-

-It's strange that you should ask...

-..because it's currently for sale,

-as it happens.

-I received this from the brokers,

-Boatshed Wales.

-It's yours to take away today

-for the discounted price of...

-..brace yourself, it sounds a lot,

-but actually it isn't, 145,000.

-In reality, where would you

-take something like this?

-If you filled her up with diesel...

-..I'd say

-you could go 250-270 miles...

-..which would take you

-to Ireland and back.

-You could head to the Mediterranean

-if you wanted...

-..although you'd have to refuel.

-You could easily live on it

-for the summer.

-Exactly.

-You'd have your own mobile home.

-Dilwyn fancies himself as a captain

-on this remarkable boat.

-Dream on, Dilwyn!

-I'm not a modern boat sort of man

-but I'm really taken with this.

-The only thing that'd bother me

-on long voyages...

-..would be not having anything else

-to do apart from tend to John.

-But he's enjoying himself. He's

-far more confident on board her.

-It's a safer boat than the Mistress.

-He's gone to sit on the bow.

-Tonight I'd like to persuade John...

-..to let me take the Mistress

-along the River Cleddau.

-I've heard

-it's possible to go upstream...

-..and stop off somewhere

-for a bite to eat and a pint.

-I haven't mentioned it yet...

-..but I'll ask him when we're

-on land, seeing as we're here.

-After a decadent hour,

-they return to the marina...

-..and back to earth with a bang.

-Another little adventure

-is about to begin.

-We're sailing upstream, which

-isn't ideal for a boat this size...

-..with a high keel.

-We require at least two metres

-of water beneath us...

-..but we're heading

-up the River Cleddau.

-This is like taking Tom Sawyer

-on a boat trip along the river.

-I'm looking forward to it.

-It's not a voyage

-or a shipping channel...

-..we're just going to

-navigate our own way there.

-He's not looking forward to it much.

-I hope nothing goes wrong

-and we get stuck...

-..or I'm going to be in big trouble.

-Are we ready?

-Take the helm for a moment.

-Take the helm for a moment.

-

-Where am I going?

-Just keep it like that.

-Where to?

-Where to?

-

-Somewhere.

-Under the famous bridge, John.

-What if we get stuck?

-The tide is picking up,

-so we wouldn't be stuck for long.

-But we're on the home straight

-to Cardiff now.

-We could do without this nonsense.

-You can tell them in the club...

-You can tell them in the club...

-

-I've no interest in that.

-There's a lot of good food there,

-so I take it you don't mind?

-This is the best thing

-about sailing for me...

-..when there's a small risk that

-something might go wrong and so on.

-When we get home, we can say

-we sailed up the River Cleddau.

-The only thing I want to avoid...

-..is touching the bottom or getting

-stuck because I'll be in for it.

-We're trying to keep to this channel

-to have depth under the boat.

-We must be in a depth

-of at least two metres.

-John's enjoying himself now.

-He's revelling in the views.

-It's nothing like a river.

-It looks like something in Africa.

-It's nothing like Wales.

-You expect to see a few crocodiles

-or a hippopotamus in the river.

-We'll never forget this view.

-It's something special.

-Yes, it's an unforgettable sight.

-There's so much mud and dirt

-in the river...

-..the tool measuring the depth...

-..is jumping

-from four metres to two.

-We've reached our limit

-at the moment.

-Is this the pub you want to go to?

-Yes. I hope we can moor the boat

-at the side of the pub.

-We'll have a pint

-and a packet of crisps...

-Hey, hey, we haven't come

-all this way for a packet of crisps.

-I haven't been

-completely honest with you.

-They don't serve food.

-We're down to 1.3, 1.5.

-I'm starting to worry now.

-We're down to 1.3m and we could

-run aground in this depth.

-2.1, 1.9.

-You dragged my boat all this way

-for a pint and a packet of crisps.

-No, just to say I've been here.

-This pub hasn't changed

-for many years.

-There's a convenient parking place

-for the Mistress.

-It's a beautiful place.

-I've never been in a place

-like this in all my life.

-I've seen similar places

-in England in films and so on...

-..but this is a traditional

-Welsh village with a pub.

-I've something to confess.

-I've never been

-anywhere like this before either.

-I've certainly never

-steered a boat as big as this...

-..through a narrow channel

-in the river.

-But thank you very much,

-I've really enjoyed it.

-Are you sure

-you're OK to drive us home?

-It's very good.

-Please don't drink too much.

-I'll have one more. One more jug.

-I'll go and get another.

-Cheers, Mistress.

-A very rare event for a sailboat...

-..to come up here at all.

-It's been a very long time

-since a sailboat has braved it.

-And now you tell me?

-That just makes me feel

-so incredibly good.

-And I feel so incredibly bad

-that I was tricked into coming here.

-The local boys have told me

-that in about 15 minutes' time...

-..the water will flood the bank...

-..and the Mistress

-will be level with the car park.

-I'd like to see that

-before we set off.

-John is sulking on board...

-..because he wants to go to bed

-in order to set off early tomorrow.

-It'll literally only take 10 minutes

-for the water to flood the wall.

-Everybody

-wants to see this happen, Dilwyn.

-I've never seen this before.

-The water is flooding the car park.

-It's completely surreal.

-People

-are moving their cars and so on.

-We're setting off now.

-It's been interesting.

-There are too many people here

-for my liking, but there you go.

-Each to their own.

-We're setting off

-from a proper car park.

-We're literally leaving a car park.

-There were cars here earlier.

-I don't know how to describe it.

-Incredible or bizarre?

-It was remarkable, wasn't it?

-I've never experienced

-anything like that before.

-Well done.

-That's a feather in your cap.

-And yours. We did it together.

-We have to find our way home now.

-Bore da! Good morning!

-You'll get through

-if you're careful.

-Go that way!

-Tawe Lock, Tawe Lock,

-this is the Mistress Wilful. Over.

-I can't hear a thing.

-How are you, you rascals?!
