0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Previously, we saw Dilwyn Morgan - and John Pierce Jones...
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- ..sail to Milford Haven and Neyland.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14- The River Cleddau could be - in Africa. It's nothing like Wales.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18- This was a car park earlier - and now it's full of boats.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20- We need to find our way home now.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31- The pair are embarking on the final - leg of their voyage to Cardiff Bay.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42- There's a red sky at dawn.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- Isn't that a sign of bad weather?
0:00:47 > 0:00:51- They say the wind will blow - in a north-westerly direction.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- I thought it was northeast.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55- It's northwest at the moment.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- We're right on the border - so we might cop it.
0:00:59 > 0:01:00- Cop what?
0:01:01 > 0:01:03- A force six. - It's eight in the north.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- They said last night - it was going to be a scorcher.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Yes, but that was - the shipping forecast.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- Weather forecasts on TV - aren't the real deal.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17- They don't mean a thing.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Look, John.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- I hope - it'll be behind us all the way.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- There's nothing like - the sun on your back.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- The refinery's flame - is rising high in the sky.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- Wow, that's a dramatic sight.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- I'm looking - for something to do this morning.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53- Really? You want something to do? - Would you fetch me a warmer jumper?
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- I knew it!
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- Fine.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Sorry, I didn't get a chance - to iron it this morning.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- It's fine, mate, - just come over here...
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- ..and take over the helm.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Where the hell are we going?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- See the island with the fort - and the other opposite it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- It's possible - to sail between them with caution.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- I'd like to tick it off - my list of achievements.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- I don't want you to do this. - Please. Please.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- I think you might be right.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- If we'd discussed this - last night with the locals...
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- ..my mind would've been put at rest.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- But please listen to me. - I'm pulling rank now. OK?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- It's my boat and I don't want it - running aground on these rocks.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Thanks, Dilwyn.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- I have to admit, John, - I'm not fully confident about it.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- Do you see that old Napoleonic fort?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- That was once a hotel.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09- What a great place to live.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10- What a great place to live.- - Far from it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- I'd love to live somewhere - like that. It even has electricity.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- It says in my little black book...
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- ..to watch out - for the electric cables.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- I hold my hand up - - I admit I'm out of my depth.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25- I'm glad you admit it.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- You steer while I remove the - sail cover. No point wasting diesel.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- See that green buoy in front of you?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Head for that.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Things are going perfectly - as they hoist the sails.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- He's starting to understand - the sails now.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- He's improved a great deal.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- It's a nice morning, - if a little fresh.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Dilwyn the Puffin - by John Pierce Jones.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- Dilwyn looked like a puffin, - dressed in all the gear
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- With a fish hanging out of his mouth
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- And a whale sniffing at his rear.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- He's completely lost it - this morning!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- I didn't know you were a poet, John!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- There's a slight gale - on the headland.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- As we come around it, - I'll set the course.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- Once we're through there, we're - more or less in the Bristol Channel.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- We're in the home straight now, - and as we used to say in the Navy...
0:04:35 > 0:04:39- .."Every turn of the screw - brings me closer to you."
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- He's a romantic at heart.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Dilwyn - fancies himself as a poet now.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- They approach the Bristol Channel.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- But John misses out.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- For a moment I thought - the engine was on the blink...
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- ..because I heard a rattling noise.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- But then I noticed - that the skipper-owner...
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- ..had put his head down - for five minutes.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- He was going below to take a tablet, - but he just wanted a nap.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- It's very quiet here at the moment.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24- Bore da! Good morning!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- No response.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- Snob!
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- John has a hungry look about him.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55- Fair play, Dilwyn's - preparing his food yet again!
0:05:55 > 0:05:56- Do you want salad with it?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Do you want salad with it?- - A little, please.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- No tomato.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- A little brown sauce on the side.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Thank you very much, mate.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Perfect.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- Would you like - a tinned sausage sandwich too?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- That'd be a nice treat with sauce.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- I've one small question.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Is there a tin opener on board?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38- No.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- We've decided - to drop anchor in Oxwich tonight.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- I don't know - if there's a Welsh name for it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Apologies for not doing my research, - S4C viewers!
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Carmarthen Bay and the surroundings - are famous for dolphins.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- One of the reasons we've come here - in daylight is to see the dolphins.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Like the puffins, - there's no sign of them.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Where did you get that cap?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Where did you get that cap?- - Pwllheli.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Very nice.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- If you say so.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- It really does something for you.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- It stops water - from running down my neck.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- There's nothing worse - than getting soaked through.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- No, nothing worse.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- Please don't make me - sail to Cardiff tonight.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- No, I won't. I want to go to Swansea - Market to buy cockles tomorrow.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Cockles it is then.
0:08:03 > 0:08:09- During this voyage, we've not been - anywhere close to England.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- True, right from the outset.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- But not any more.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Now we're in the home straight, - we're closer to England.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Those are the Devon hills - in the distance. We're almost home.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23- We'll pull in shortly.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- We'll pull in shortly.- - Once we pass the headland.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- That's Port Eynon Bay. - Oxwich is the next bay along.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35- Yes, we can shelter from the wind - and grab a bite to eat.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- It's a shame about the dolphins.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- Where are you, you rascals?!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Talk of the devil...
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- ..here they are.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57- Look at them.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- They're playing - right in front of the boat.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- They're everywhere. We said - we wanted to see them, and we have!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- They're chaperoning us - to the Gower.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- It's been worth coming here - to see them.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- There are dozens of them.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- There must be plenty of fish here.
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- Every time I see a dolphin, it - reminds me how incredible they are.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24- Yes, that's true.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I've never seen - so many in one place.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Eight, nine, 10, 11.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- As night-time approaches...
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- ..the pair shelter - in the Gower Peninsula.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- This will be a test for him.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- I've come out of the way - and left him to his own devices.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- If he gets this buoy, it'll be - the perfect end to a perfect day.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- He's enjoyed the sailing - and everything about today.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- I'll grab the buoy, even if I - have to pick it up with my teeth.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- There we go, - we're mooring in Oxwich Bay.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- It's beautiful.
0:10:15 > 0:10:15- .
0:10:16 > 0:10:16- Subtitles
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- We're all set to depart - and we've already hoisted the sail.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- We're ready to set sail around - the Mumbles headland into Swansea.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Ready, Number One?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Jibe-ho!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- The Mumbles headland is up ahead.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- They head for Swansea - before carrying on to Cardiff.
0:10:44 > 0:10:50- The more I spend time aboard the - Mistress and the more I sail her...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- ..the more impressed I become.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57- I don't know who I'll miss most - - the boat or the captain.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- The sailing's going well. It's - a perfect day for sailing today.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- But we've resorted - to using the engine.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- August is known - for its spring tides.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- We're crossing our fingers - that we'll reach Swansea by one...
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- ..or we won't get through.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Can you see the red buoy?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- No, my eyesight isn't good enough.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- For (BLEEP!) sakes.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Since we're behind schedule...
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- ..and I'm still unsure if we'll - make it to Swansea on time...
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- ..I'll steer within the red buoys...
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- ..which would normally - keep me at bay.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- According to this, there's a six - metre channel at the lowest tide.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- We'll have to take the risk.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- Be careful, lads.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- The sand - is on this side for a while.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- Yes, to the left. Oh (BLEEP!)
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- That was exciting. - My mouth's dried up.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- My mouth's dry too.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- But it went well. Yay! - We passed through the small channel.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- You can see the town clearly - from here. The university too.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Swansea folk - are very welcoming and friendly.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33- It's about 12.15pm...
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- ..and we're meant to be there - at one, so I'm not sure.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- It was a close call, - but they arrive on time.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- Tawe Lock, Tawe Lock. - This is the Mistress Wilful. Over.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- I can't hear a thing.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- "Mistress Wilful, Tawe Lock. - Good afternoon."
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- Good afternoon, sir. - We'd like to get into the marina.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Is that possible? Over.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- INAUDIBLE
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Turn off the engine.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- I understood none of that, sorry.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Turn off the engine then.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- I understood none of that.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- This is the Mistress Wilful. - Mistress Wilful, Tawe Lock.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Could you repeat that, please. Over.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- "Yes. - The lock's down at the moment."
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- "I've got two vessels outbound.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- "Once they're clear of the lock, - I'll give you the green light."
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- Thank you, sir. Over.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I looked like - a complete buffoon just then.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- I won't say a word. - You've learnt your lesson.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57- What lesson's that?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- You have to prepare.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- I thought you already had. - I thought you were going to do it.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09- I was going to take her - wherever you wanted me to take her.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Sorry, I didn't realize that.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- I didn't have the book.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- It's your book, don't forget.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- I know it's my book, but since - we were coming into here...
0:14:20 > 0:14:25- ..I thought you were going - to take control of the situation.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Doesn't matter, lads, - you've arrived safely.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- He's annoyed for some reason.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- I'm not sure why. - He's gone very niggly.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- He only half tells me things.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- He's curt if I don't understand. - I don't know what's wrong.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- We've arrived safely - in Swansea marina.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- I'm just going to moor her...
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- ..and I'll try and get him - to treat me to a coffee.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- We've had quite an adventure today.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11- We've been - very adventurous on our final leg.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- It's nice to see them relaxing.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- John wants to - show Dilwyn around Swansea Market.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32- Come through here.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Come through here.- - I've never been here before.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Penclawdd cockles.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45- Penclawdd cockles.- - Laver bread too.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- I love them. - I was brought up on them.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- You know what they say, don't you?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- Cockles, eggs - and thinly-sliced oatbread
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- Makes the girls in the yard - shake their rear ends!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Malltraeth girls, that is.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- John's grandmother - taught him that poem!
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- That's home-smoked bacon.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- He likes nothing more than...
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- That corned beef pie down there.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- Don't eat it yet - because there's food on the way.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- We'll keep it as a treat for later.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- Cockles, please.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Do you like those?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- I prefer the others to those.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- I wouldn't eat those.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30- They look disgusting.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- They look disgusting.- - Have you eaten cockles before?
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- No, never.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- They just taste like sand.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- I'd much prefer a piece of pie. - I don't want any more.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- They're full of sand.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- He's wolfing them down.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- He's using his hand as a scoop.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- I'm enjoying these cockles.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- I'd prefer to eat this pie but I - can't because he's making me food.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- I don't know what he's cooking.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- I hope to God it's not cockles!
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- You're in your own little world - on the boat. You're in a bubble.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- When you come back to civilisation, - it takes a while to adjust again.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- The only time - I felt uncomfortable among people...
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- ..was when we stopped - at Cresswell Lodge.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Cresswell Quay.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- I had to get out of there. I had to - sit aboard the Mistress alone.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- I didn't like - any of the people there.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- Strange, isn't it?
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- I know we've spent all the money...
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- ..but I'm slightly concerned because - you're cooking for me tonight.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48- All we have - is a packet of smoked bacon...
