Pennod 6 Codi Hwyl

-Subtitles

-Previously, we saw Dilwyn Morgan

-and John Pierce Jones...

-..sail to Milford Haven and Neyland.

-The River Cleddau could be

-in Africa. It's nothing like Wales.

-This was a car park earlier

-and now it's full of boats.

-We need to find our way home now.

-The pair are embarking on the final

-leg of their voyage to Cardiff Bay.

-There's a red sky at dawn.

-Isn't that a sign of bad weather?

-They say the wind will blow

-in a north-westerly direction.

-I thought it was northeast.

-It's northwest at the moment.

-We're right on the border

-so we might cop it.

-Cop what?

-A force six.

-It's eight in the north.

-They said last night

-it was going to be a scorcher.

-Yes, but that was

-the shipping forecast.

-Weather forecasts on TV

-aren't the real deal.

-They don't mean a thing.

-Look, John.

-I hope

-it'll be behind us all the way.

-There's nothing like

-the sun on your back.

-The refinery's flame

-is rising high in the sky.

-Wow, that's a dramatic sight.

-I'm looking

-for something to do this morning.

-Really? You want something to do?

-Would you fetch me a warmer jumper?

-I knew it!

-Fine.

-Sorry, I didn't get a chance

-to iron it this morning.

-It's fine, mate,

-just come over here...

-..and take over the helm.

-Where the hell are we going?

-See the island with the fort

-and the other opposite it?

-It's possible

-to sail between them with caution.

-I'd like to tick it off

-my list of achievements.

-I don't want you to do this.

-Please. Please.

-I think you might be right.

-If we'd discussed this

-last night with the locals...

-..my mind would've been put at rest.

-But please listen to me.

-I'm pulling rank now. OK?

-It's my boat and I don't want it

-running aground on these rocks.

-Thanks, Dilwyn.

-I have to admit, John,

-I'm not fully confident about it.

-Do you see that old Napoleonic fort?

-That was once a hotel.

-What a great place to live.

-What a great place to live.

-

-Far from it.

-I'd love to live somewhere

-like that. It even has electricity.

-It says in my little black book...

-..to watch out

-for the electric cables.

-I hold my hand up -

-I admit I'm out of my depth.

-I'm glad you admit it.

-You steer while I remove the

-sail cover. No point wasting diesel.

-See that green buoy in front of you?

-Head for that.

-Things are going perfectly

-as they hoist the sails.

-He's starting to understand

-the sails now.

-He's improved a great deal.

-It's a nice morning,

-if a little fresh.

-Dilwyn the Puffin

-by John Pierce Jones.

-Dilwyn looked like a puffin,

-dressed in all the gear

-With a fish hanging out of his mouth

-And a whale sniffing at his rear.

-He's completely lost it

-this morning!

-I didn't know you were a poet, John!

-There's a slight gale

-on the headland.

-As we come around it,

-I'll set the course.

-Once we're through there, we're

-more or less in the Bristol Channel.

-We're in the home straight now,

-and as we used to say in the Navy...

-.."Every turn of the screw

-brings me closer to you."

-He's a romantic at heart.

-Dilwyn

-fancies himself as a poet now.

-They approach the Bristol Channel.

-But John misses out.

-For a moment I thought

-the engine was on the blink...

-..because I heard a rattling noise.

-But then I noticed

-that the skipper-owner...

-..had put his head down

-for five minutes.

-He was going below to take a tablet,

-but he just wanted a nap.

-It's very quiet here at the moment.

-Bore da! Good morning!

-No response.

-Snob!

-John has a hungry look about him.

-Fair play, Dilwyn's

-preparing his food yet again!

-Do you want salad with it?

-Do you want salad with it?

-

-A little, please.

-No tomato.

-A little brown sauce on the side.

-Thank you very much, mate.

-Perfect.

-Would you like

-a tinned sausage sandwich too?

-That'd be a nice treat with sauce.

-I've one small question.

-Is there a tin opener on board?

-No.

-We've decided

-to drop anchor in Oxwich tonight.

-I don't know

-if there's a Welsh name for it.

-Apologies for not doing my research,

-S4C viewers!

-Carmarthen Bay and the surroundings

-are famous for dolphins.

-One of the reasons we've come here

-in daylight is to see the dolphins.

-Like the puffins,

-there's no sign of them.

-Where did you get that cap?

-Where did you get that cap?

-

-Pwllheli.

-Very nice.

-If you say so.

-It really does something for you.

-It stops water

-from running down my neck.

-There's nothing worse

-than getting soaked through.

-No, nothing worse.

-Please don't make me

-sail to Cardiff tonight.

-No, I won't. I want to go to Swansea

-Market to buy cockles tomorrow.

-Cockles it is then.

-During this voyage, we've not been

-anywhere close to England.

-True, right from the outset.

-But not any more.

-Now we're in the home straight,

-we're closer to England.

-Those are the Devon hills

-in the distance. We're almost home.

-We'll pull in shortly.

-We'll pull in shortly.

-

-Once we pass the headland.

-That's Port Eynon Bay.

-Oxwich is the next bay along.

-Yes, we can shelter from the wind

-and grab a bite to eat.

-It's a shame about the dolphins.

-Where are you, you rascals?!

-Talk of the devil...

-..here they are.

-Look at them.

-They're playing

-right in front of the boat.

-They're everywhere. We said

-we wanted to see them, and we have!

-They're chaperoning us

-to the Gower.

-It's been worth coming here

-to see them.

-There are dozens of them.

-There must be plenty of fish here.

-Every time I see a dolphin, it

-reminds me how incredible they are.

-Yes, that's true.

-I've never seen

-so many in one place.

-Eight, nine, 10, 11.

-As night-time approaches...

-..the pair shelter

-in the Gower Peninsula.

-This will be a test for him.

-I've come out of the way

-and left him to his own devices.

-If he gets this buoy, it'll be

-the perfect end to a perfect day.

-He's enjoyed the sailing

-and everything about today.

-I'll grab the buoy, even if I

-have to pick it up with my teeth.

-There we go,

-we're mooring in Oxwich Bay.

-It's beautiful.

-We're all set to depart

-and we've already hoisted the sail.

-We're ready to set sail around

-the Mumbles headland into Swansea.

-Ready, Number One?

-Jibe-ho!

-The Mumbles headland is up ahead.

-They head for Swansea

-before carrying on to Cardiff.

-The more I spend time aboard the

-Mistress and the more I sail her...

-..the more impressed I become.

-I don't know who I'll miss most -

-the boat or the captain.

-The sailing's going well. It's

-a perfect day for sailing today.

-But we've resorted

-to using the engine.

-August is known

-for its spring tides.

-We're crossing our fingers

-that we'll reach Swansea by one...

-..or we won't get through.

-Can you see the red buoy?

-No, my eyesight isn't good enough.

-For (BLEEP!) sakes.

-Since we're behind schedule...

-..and I'm still unsure if we'll

-make it to Swansea on time...

-..I'll steer within the red buoys...

-..which would normally

-keep me at bay.

-According to this, there's a six

-metre channel at the lowest tide.

-We'll have to take the risk.

-Be careful, lads.

-The sand

-is on this side for a while.

-Yes, to the left. Oh (BLEEP!)

-That was exciting.

-My mouth's dried up.

-My mouth's dry too.

-But it went well. Yay!

-We passed through the small channel.

-You can see the town clearly

-from here. The university too.

-Swansea folk

-are very welcoming and friendly.

-It's about 12.15pm...

-..and we're meant to be there

-at one, so I'm not sure.

-It was a close call,

-but they arrive on time.

-Tawe Lock, Tawe Lock.

-This is the Mistress Wilful. Over.

-I can't hear a thing.

-"Mistress Wilful, Tawe Lock.

-Good afternoon."

-Good afternoon, sir.

-We'd like to get into the marina.

-Is that possible? Over.

-INAUDIBLE

-Turn off the engine.

-I understood none of that, sorry.

-Turn off the engine then.

-I understood none of that.

-This is the Mistress Wilful.

-Mistress Wilful, Tawe Lock.

-Could you repeat that, please. Over.

-"Yes.

-The lock's down at the moment."

-"I've got two vessels outbound.

-"Once they're clear of the lock,

-I'll give you the green light."

-Thank you, sir. Over.

-I looked like

-a complete buffoon just then.

-I won't say a word.

-You've learnt your lesson.

-What lesson's that?

-You have to prepare.

-I thought you already had.

-I thought you were going to do it.

-I was going to take her

-wherever you wanted me to take her.

-Sorry, I didn't realize that.

-I didn't have the book.

-It's your book, don't forget.

-I know it's my book, but since

-we were coming into here...

-..I thought you were going

-to take control of the situation.

-Doesn't matter, lads,

-you've arrived safely.

-He's annoyed for some reason.

-I'm not sure why.

-He's gone very niggly.

-He only half tells me things.

-He's curt if I don't understand.

-I don't know what's wrong.

-We've arrived safely

-in Swansea marina.

-I'm just going to moor her...

-..and I'll try and get him

-to treat me to a coffee.

-We've had quite an adventure today.

-We've been

-very adventurous on our final leg.

-It's nice to see them relaxing.

-John wants to

-show Dilwyn around Swansea Market.

-Come through here.

-Come through here.

-

-I've never been here before.

-Penclawdd cockles.

-Penclawdd cockles.

-

-Laver bread too.

-I love them.

-I was brought up on them.

-You know what they say, don't you?

-Cockles, eggs

-and thinly-sliced oatbread

-Makes the girls in the yard

-shake their rear ends!

-Malltraeth girls, that is.

-John's grandmother

-taught him that poem!

-That's home-smoked bacon.

-He likes nothing more than...

-That corned beef pie down there.

-Don't eat it yet

-because there's food on the way.

-We'll keep it as a treat for later.

-Cockles, please.

-Do you like those?

-I prefer the others to those.

-I wouldn't eat those.

-They look disgusting.

-They look disgusting.

-

-Have you eaten cockles before?

-No, never.

-They just taste like sand.

-I'd much prefer a piece of pie.

-I don't want any more.

-They're full of sand.

-He's wolfing them down.

-He's using his hand as a scoop.

-I'm enjoying these cockles.

-I'd prefer to eat this pie but I

-can't because he's making me food.

-I don't know what he's cooking.

-I hope to God it's not cockles!

-You're in your own little world

-on the boat. You're in a bubble.

-When you come back to civilisation,

-it takes a while to adjust again.

-The only time

-I felt uncomfortable among people...

-..was when we stopped

-at Cresswell Lodge.

-Cresswell Quay.

-I had to get out of there. I had to

-sit aboard the Mistress alone.

-I didn't like

-any of the people there.

-Strange, isn't it?

-I know we've spent all the money...

-..but I'm slightly concerned because

-you're cooking for me tonight.

-All we have

-is a packet of smoked bacon...

-..a slice of pie, which I'm not

-allowed to eat today...

-..and two blinkin' penny ducks.

-Don't worry, I've brought you here

-to get you off the Mistress.

-When we get back, there'll be

-a surprise waiting for you. OK?

-What kind of surprise?

-Knowing John, it could be anything.

-You don't know

-what to expect, do you?

-No, and that's what bothers me.

-What's the treat?

-Catrin Thomas.

-I'm a married man!

-I'm a married man!

-

-No, no, no!

-Catrin has her own catering company

-called Pantri Catrin.

-I've arranged for her

-to come here...

-..and prepare us a meal...

-..as a thank you

-for joining me on this journey.

-It's a parcel of hake

-with chorizo...

-..and peppers cooked in the parcel.

-And we eat it in the parcel?

-Yes, I've made couscous too.

-This is wonderful, Catrin.

-Thank you.

-After an early night...

-..they leave Swansea

-on the final leg of the journey.

-We're heading from

-the River Tawe to Swansea Bay.

-We're sailing downriver...

-..to the bay and heading home...

-..to Cardiff.

-You can still see the moon.

-We're out in the bay now...

-..and it's characteristic

-of the South Wales coastline.

-The beautiful Mumbles headland and

-the Gower Peninsula on one side...

-..coupled with heavy industry

-on the other.

-You witness two extremes in the bay.

-It's important that the boat

-is clean on arrival.

-A clean boat

-is the mark of a good sailor.

-My day will comprise of cleaning

-and tidying up...

-..to prepare the boat

-for its arrival.

-I haven't been at the front

-of the boat in a while...

-..due to the adverse weather or

-the different chores I've had to do.

-It's a beautiful sunny morning.

-It's the final day

-and I'm filled with mixed emotions.

-One of my greatest pleasures is

-seeing how much John has improved.

-I enjoy seeing him smile.

-There have been times

-when he's been grumpy...

-..but hopefully

-he's enjoyed himself overall.

-It's the end of another chapter...

-..for Codi Hwyl II.

-When I first bought the boat...

-..I thought I'd spend

-the first year in this country...

-..and then, next year, I'd sail to

-France, Spain and the Mediterranean.

-No, John.

-That's not going to happen

-for many years, if at all.

-But I'm beginning to understand that

-just sailing around Cardiff Bay...

-..with the sails hoisted

-is the reason I bought the boat.

-Cardiff is just coming into view.

-So it is.

-It's hard to believe,

-but the journey's end is in sight.

-I can see the floodgates to the

-bay are open right in front of me.

-Llanddwyn Island feels like

-a million miles away.

-Cardiff Barrage, Cardiff Barrage.

-Mistress Wilful. Over.

-Good afternoon, sir.

-We're coming into the outer buoy.

-Can you advise us

-of locking in times, please?

-"Lock number three. Over."

-"Lock number three. Over."

-

-Lock number three.

-Both sets of families are there

-to welcome them into Cardiff Bay.

-Give him a thumbs-up, Iwan.

-You sat on my hip!

-Sorry!

-We've had lots of adventures,

-haven't we, mate?

-This is incredible.

-The Mistress

-is ready to be put to bed.

-It's been one heck of a voyage.

-There's been the occasional quarrel.

-But for John and Dilwyn...

-..it's been a great deal of fun.
