0:00:02 > 0:00:06- Last time, Dilwyn Morgan - and John Pierce Jones...
0:00:06 > 0:00:10- ..sailed from Llanddwyn Bay to - Cardiff Bay in the Mistress Wilful.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13- A voyage of pleasure and peril.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- It's starting to get choppy.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21- Please, Dilwyn, I can't do it!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24- They laughed...
0:00:24 > 0:00:26- ..and quarrelled.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29- I don't understand. - Why did you do that?
0:00:29 > 0:00:30- It was stinking.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32- It was stinking.- - The (BLEEP!) cheese didn't stink.
0:00:33 > 0:00:37- Wales's picturesque coastline - provided the backdrop.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- This view will stay with us forever. - It's so remarkable.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48- This time, they're sailing - the Mistress Wilful to Ireland.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- In Swansea Marina, - the Mistress Wilful...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- ..is being prepped - for a new adventure.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- I'm about to start - getting this boat in order.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- I'm responsible for that - this year...
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- ..because Number 1 is hobnobbing - at the National Eisteddfod.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- He's meeting his friends - while I'm slaving away.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- While I'm here, enjoying myself...
0:01:28 > 0:01:34- ..he's meant to be tidying the boat - and making last-minute preparations.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- After last year, - I told him in no uncertain terms...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- .."John, - you have to do more this year."
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Last year, between you and me, - he didn't even make me a cuppa...
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- ..during the three-week voyage.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- Iwan, have you found the levers - at the bottom of the stopcocks?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Yes.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Yes.- - Turn them in the opposite direction.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Have you done that?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- Right then, pump it to see - if there's any water leaking.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- This year, I've left the navigation - completely up to John.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- He's decided - we're going to southern Ireland.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- Fortunately or unfortunately...
0:02:21 > 0:02:26- ..he's chosen a place called Bere - Island off the south Irish coast.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- We're more or less ready.
0:02:28 > 0:02:34- I've stocked the cupboards with - food. There's food in here too.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- And that's it. - I hope it'll please him.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- He's very particular about his food.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45- Fish and chips - and another portion of chips too.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- He picks at everything - and inspects it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- He washes his hands - before every meal.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- But he doesn't change his pants - for days when we're at sea.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- This is a taste - of what's to come, hopefully...
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- ..on the voyage.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- I'm going to eat well, - sleep well...
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- ..and live well.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Believe that - and you'll believe anything.
0:03:11 > 0:03:17- I don't know if you've noticed - but I've been on a healthy diet.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- I was very overweight last year.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- I'm three stone lighter now.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- He tells me he won - Slimmer of the Year in Llangefni.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Llangefni, - not the whole of Anglesey.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- I don't know what food awaits me.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- I haven't done any shopping - or preparation.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- I'll turn up - and hope for the best tomorrow.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- I had a food order from Number 1.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Spam, mince beef in gravy.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Total rubbish.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- I have a few reservations - about the voyage...
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- ..especially the first leg, - the 55-60 hours of sailing.
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- We're setting sail from Swansea, - across the Celtic Sea...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- ..to Bantry Bay.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- It will take about three days - to sail there.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Where is Taid going tomorrow?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- On the boat? Who's going with Taid?
0:04:17 > 0:04:18- John.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- John.- - Yes, with John.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- Do you want to come on the boat?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- Do you want to come on the boat?- - No!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- I don't blame him either.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- What makes me nervous - is sailing in the open sea...
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- ..with no land in sight - for about two days.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- It's about 300 miles.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- It will be an epic adventure.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- It's his boat - but he makes me do all the work.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- He just sits down - and does what he wants.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52- You rascal!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Cheers, John!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- The following morning - and Dilwyn's ready to go.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- But has John, or rather his son - Iwan, ensured the Mistress ready?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Good morning, John.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- Good morning, John.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- John! I'm here.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29- John?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- I'm here but you're not.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Dilwyn's not here. Alright, Inge?
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- John thinks - he's sailing to Ireland...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- ..with this electronic gear.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- He has a tablet - that does everything...
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- ..which works - great at home in Cardiff.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- Just in case, - I've brought the good old charts...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14- ..to get us to southern Ireland.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- I've worked out - the relevant waypoints...
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- ..but that's between you, me - and the Mistress Wilful.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- I'm not going to tell John anything. - I'm leaving it up to him.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- I need this to get in.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- (BLEEP!)
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- There's not - a single sausage in sight.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- There are - only vegetables in the fridge.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- The question is, - is his diet going to affect me?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- What happened?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Where have you been?
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- There was a lot of traffic - and the bakeries weren't open.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- Take this from me. - It's cutting into my shoulder.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- This? It's big enough.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Have you got it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- There's a lot of stuff. - Didn't you go shopping yesterday?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- I had to buy stuff that you eat.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Bacon and other unhealthy food.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- Bacon and other unhealthy food.- - Organic milk this time.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- There's so much food here - and nowhere to keep it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- I thought this would have been done - yesterday but it wasn't.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- We need to set sail - within the hour...
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- ..so that the tide will take us out - to the Bristol Channel...
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- ..and onwards to Ireland.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- He's awfully relaxed.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- That worries me, - and I get the feeling...
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- ..nothing much has changed - aboard the Mistress Wilful.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- It will all be left to Muggins here - as usual. But it's early days.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- He's had more practice than me - at the helm.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- I won't admit to much - but I admit that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- And off they go.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- John has left the cockpit at last.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- We're setting off - from Swansea Marina.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- I've already noticed - that he's a lot more agile on deck.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- It was hard getting him to do - anything up front on the last trip.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- But he's a lot more sprightly - on his feet this time round.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- I'm feeling good now.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- I'm a bit anxious.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- We're going to be caught in traffic. - Fishing traffic.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- There are trawlers from Europe here.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- We'll be sailing through them.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- Hopefully not until morning.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- They leave Swansea Marina - and set sail for the open sea.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- # Farewell to dear Llangyfelach #

0:10:00 > 0:10:04- The Mistress Wilful - is heading to Ireland.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- But the weather - is less than favourable.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- The aim was to sail from Swansea - Marina across the Celtic Sea...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- ..to Bantry Bay - in south-west Ireland.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- But will the storm - force them to change their plan?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- We've been hit by a sudden squall.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- Heading into the showers...
0:10:40 > 0:10:45- ..the wind picked up from 6mph - to 16-20mph in only five minutes.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- But we're OK, - we're carrying on towards Ireland.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- I'm going to steer for a while.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- That's better.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- INDISTINCT WEATHER FORECAST
0:11:15 > 0:11:16- Alright?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Alright?- - Yes, it's alright.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- There's more bad weather on the way - but nothing we can't handle.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Six is fine.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- They say it'll hit us - as we approach.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- We'll battle on and adapt - to the conditions as we go.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37- What do you mean?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- We might have to go further south - and turn towards Bere Island.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- It won't last very long, - according to the forecast.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- The worst of the weather has passed.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- I'm going to fetch warmer clothes - and grab my torch...
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- ..while you take the helm.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- One, two, three. I'm stiff.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- The sea's worse now.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07- It's engulfing us.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I'm not - enough of a helmsman for this.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- The waves are rising - but John's spirits take a dive.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- I've got a touch of seasickness. - I've never had it before.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- It's an awful feeling. - I'm a bit scared too.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Very scared, to be honest, - which doesn't help.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- I'm afraid - we're in for a long night.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Why did I decide to do this?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- I had to come down here.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- But I don't know - if I'm better or worse off.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Lying on my back is better for me.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- I feel better like this...
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- ..but I'm worried that I had to - leave Dilwyn up on deck on his own.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- Dafydd the cameraman - will have to keep him company.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- I'm going to stay here for a while.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- I've never felt like this before.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- It's half past five in the morning - and dawn is breaking.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15- It's been a long night.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Poor John has been ill...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- ..so he's....
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- ..in his bunk and Dafydd's - been keeping me company...
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- ..while I've been steering.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36- The wind has changed - in Ireland's direction...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- ..so we can't head to Ireland - at the moment.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- The weather forecast - said it would alter...
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- ..so it's wise to carry on - for a few more hours.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- It's a roller coaster of a ride - at the moment.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- The waves are higher than the boat.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- I'm feeling a bit better. - I was awful last night.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09- You were very poorly.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- You were very poorly.- - I was vomiting all night.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- I'm out of bed - but the sea's still choppy.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- I'm going to go for...
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- I'm going to go for...- - A nap?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Yes. Shout if you need me.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- I will, don't you worry.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- Dilwyn had very little sleep.
0:14:33 > 0:14:39- The wind is changing, forcing them - to change course once again.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- Oh, dear! Poor John!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Dolphins appeared to cheer them up.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- The Mistress is now on autopilot.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- As you can see, - we're using autopilot now.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- The autopilot's taking over - for a few hours tonight.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- A handkerchief sail - is keeping the momentum.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- We need to charge the batteries...
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- ..because we've used them a lot - over the past few days.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- It's a matter - of keeping watch tonight.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- The engine and autopilot will guide - us across the Celtic Sea tonight.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- After hours of sailing - in harsh conditions...
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- ..they had to veer off course - for a while...
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- ..before catching sight - of the Irish coast.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Number 1 is lying on his bunk...
0:15:48 > 0:15:52- ..while the autopilot - is hard at work.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- It's keeping us on course.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- We're sailing along the coast - of Cork. Kinsale is in the distance.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- We're heading to Fastnet - in that direction.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- It was somewhere around here - that the Lusitania was sunk.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- May they rest in peace.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- It prompted America's involvement - in the First World War.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- It was a passenger liner...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- ..though the Germans - believed otherwise.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- They claimed - it was carrying weapons.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- I have a German propaganda medal - at home.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- The Germans claimed - they had a right to sink it.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- A picture of the Lusitania - on one side, and on the other...
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- ..the grim reaper selling tickets...
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- ..with the Lusitania - carrying arms in the background.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Captain? Captain?
0:16:54 > 0:16:55- What?
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- What?- - You've forgotten something.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- We're in Ireland.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05- Do you want to raise - the courtesy flag?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- You see to it, Number 1.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- # Amhran na bhFiann - The Soldier's Song #
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- JOHN HUMS THE IRISH ANTHEM
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- You're not meant to sing the anthem.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- It's a courtesy flag, - not a burial at sea.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- It's on the wrong side, lads.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- The dolphins continue to follow - but there's bigger company nearby.
0:17:31 > 0:17:32- There she blows.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33- There she blows.- - A great sight!
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- There are two whales, maybe three, - over there.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- It's not something - you see every day.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- I've never seen one - in British waters before.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51- As we've sailed this stretch of sea, - looking for Fastnet Lighthouse...
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- ..we've seen whales, - dolphins, porpoises and birds.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- We've been greeted - with a warm welcome.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- A sight worth seeing.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- It's our third night - on board the Mistress.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- We were meant - to be on Bere Island tonight...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- ..but the weather put paid to that.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- We're sailing on autopilot again - but for a different reason.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- It's gone from one extreme - to the other...
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- ..from strong winds - to no wind at all.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32- We're about - ten miles from Fastnet Lighthouse.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- From there, - we'll head for Mizen Head...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- ..and Bantry Bay.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- With Bantry Bay ahead of us, we're - heading for the Atlantic tonight.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- That'll be an experience, won't it?

0:19:05 > 0:19:08- He's gone below to the cabin...
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- ..and hung a photo of - his Uncle Owen on the wall again.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- It's been up once, but he took - it down during yesterday's storm...
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- ..and wrapped it in a towel - to keep it safe.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- He's now hung it back up.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- I'm not quite sure - if he talks to it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- Now that we're approaching - the Atlantic...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- ..Uncle Owen is back up - and John's staring at him.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55- We were meant to be here - in daylight.
0:19:55 > 0:20:01- That's how it goes. It's quite - a turbulent stretch of water.
0:20:01 > 0:20:06- There's barely any breeze - as we pass the perilous Fastnet.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- A famous race was held here. - In which year was that?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Some time in the 1980s?

0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Lessons were learnt from that race.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Yes, that you should - stay with your boat...
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- ..instead of panicking - and going for the life raft.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- They found many boats the - following day with no-one in them.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- The men had drowned - trying to find the life rafts.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- The boats were fine.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04- What would Uncle Owen say now?
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- He'd say, "Look at those old codgers - in a 50-year-old 27-foot boat."
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Do you know any good jokes - about the Atlantic?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- No.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20- I'm glad we're in a boat, - sailing on the Atlantic.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25- Do you remember the story of the bus - that tried to cross the Atlantic?
