0:00:00 > 0:00:00- *
0:00:01 > 0:00:05- Last time, we left Dilwyn Morgan - and John Pierce Jones...
0:00:06 > 0:00:09- ..on Cape Clear, - off the southwest coast of Ireland.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12- The Mistress Wilful's engine - had broken.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- The pair - spent the night on the island.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24- The following day brought - glorious weather to the island.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- But the Mistress - was in a sorry state.
0:00:27 > 0:00:32- The tide isn't high enough to carry - us out of here. It's too shallow.
0:00:32 > 0:00:38- It's bad news in terms - of the engine. It needs parts.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43- The sensible option is to take it to - Baltimore, a famous sailing hub...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45- ..in this part of the world.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50- We know there'll be a specialist - engineer there to fix the engine.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55- We're lucky because we only have - to use the engine to go 100 yards.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- We'll hoist the sails in the harbour - and sail out to Baltimore.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- It wasn't easy to pack up...
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- ..and leave such a charming place.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11- A man came over to speak to me. He - was from Swansea, believe it or not.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- He had family ties with the island.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Both his parents are from here.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- We always find someone - with a Welsh connection...
0:01:20 > 0:01:25- ..which confirms the strong ties - between the Irish and the Welsh.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27- We're Celtic cousins.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- Many people - are very proud of that connection.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- I'll be sorry to leave this place.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- I'll remember it fondly.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- It's a very special place.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- It was time to fire up the engine - and hope for the best.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Come on.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06- The iPad is in place - and we've set our course.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- There's a stretch of water further - along between both islands...
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- ..with a strong tide but apart from - that, we're mostly sheltered.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21- I'll sail to the pontoon and use - the engine again to bring it inland.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- I'm quite sad to leave. - It's a wonderful place.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30- A really exceptional place.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- Their way of life - takes me back many years.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- It's an innocent existence.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- That's the joy of sailing.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Coming into places from the sea - feels very special.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- People of Wales, - I urge you to start sailing.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- We're privileged because these - waters are conducive to sailing.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Nevertheless, we must bid farewell - to this enchanting place.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- You must visit this island while - it remains unchanged and unspoilt...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- ..and before - it becomes commercialized.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- We're still travelling at six knots.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- The good old Mistress - is looking after us once again.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- I'm proud of the course I plotted - last night.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- It's working well.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- We're both in agreement.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- We're in accord, as they say.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Yes, we're in accord.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- And while the two seafarers - are in accord...
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- ..they sail onwards to Baltimore...
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- ..one of Europe's - main sailing capitals.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- We're at waypoint three.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- 0.5 miles.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Half a mile.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- The choppy waters - are at that waypoint.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- The bumps are on their way...
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- ..but nothing too major.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00- Once we're through this, the island - will shelter us to Baltimore.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- We'll hoist the sails - and enjoy ourselves.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- What was that - about no major bumps, Dilwyn?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Oop-a-daise!
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- They'd pay a fortune for something - like this at Blackpool!
0:04:22 > 0:04:23- It's getting very dangerous.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- There's a spectacular view up ahead.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- The channel will open up in a minute - to Baltimore Bay.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- We've made excellent timing.
0:04:41 > 0:04:46- 45 minutes and Baltimore's in sight. - The Mistress is powering on.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- We're reaching a good speed - compared to how much wind there is.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- She's doing eight now.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56- Here we are.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58- He's using an iPhone now.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- The iPad's died. - He's using the iPhone now.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- We're approaching...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- ..the mouth of Baltimore Bay.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- We wanted to sail - around these islands...
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- ..and do a bit of sightseeing...
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- ..but we could be stuck in Baltimore - for a few days, unable to sail.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- But that's how it goes.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- We'll see a bit of the town - and share the same breathing space!
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- I want to see - if I can recognize the berth.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46- Wow, what a busy place!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Wow, what a busy place!- - Fenders on this side.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- No, the other side. - The other side, John!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Do you know - where you're going, lads?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Make sure you have a rope ready.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Make sure you have a rope ready.- - Wait a minute!
0:06:07 > 0:06:08- Whoaa!
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- After all the excitement, they - arrive safely, thank goodness.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- I didn't enjoy docking.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- We came in too fast.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- I only had sails - from 100 yards away.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- When the time came, neither the - ropes nor the fenders were ready.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- We came in - faster than I'd bargained for...
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- ..because - I couldn't use much engine power.
0:06:33 > 0:06:39- The wind's blowing us on the berth, - so I'm not happy about that.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- I'm trying to tie it using - the fenders we already have...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- ..hoping we'll be able - to leave her overnight.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- What do you mean?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I can't leave her if she's - going to scrape against the side.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- That one's fine there. - Why isn't ours?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- That's a 40-foot boat.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02- He's fussy about things like that - but approaches the quay any shape.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- I'm ready to go to the hotel.
0:07:05 > 0:07:11- I'll get a lift while Dilwyn's - going to wait for the engineer...
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- ..because he knows more than me.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- The boat is in such a mess.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Half-empty water bottles.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- This is John's bunk.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- When he comes down here, - he snacks on crisps and things...
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- ..and stuffs them in the holes.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- He's gone now but I'm not happy - at all with where the boat's moored.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- It's tied against a solid wall...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- ..and the wind's blowing it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- John seized the opportunity - to take a break.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Dilwyn, on the other hand, - struggled with the engine.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- But someone came to his aid.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58- I am worried because if it's - a big job and needs parts...
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- ..I don't know - how long we'll be here.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- We might be talking a matter of days - or even longer. I'm not sure.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Paddy the engineer, which is - a great name for an Irishman...
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- ..is trying his best.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- Only time will tell.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- While Dilwyn's lying on his belly...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- ..John's stuffing his.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- It's worth coming to Casey's pub - in Baltimore...
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- ..just for the apple scone - and home-made jam.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36- Delicious!
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- We have to move to the outer edge, - which isn't easy with no engine.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- There are two large boats - coming in to dock behind us.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49- It's all going on!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Paddy the engineer - has located the problem.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- There are two water systems - in a boat's engine.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Clear water and saltwater.
0:09:03 > 0:09:09- A hole in the heat exchanger - is causing the clear water to leak.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- The smoke - comes from the engine overheating.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- He's going to remove the part, take - it to his workshop to weld it...
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- ..and bring it back - first thing in the morning.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- We should be fine after that.
0:09:30 > 0:09:30- .
0:09:33 > 0:09:33- Subtitles
0:09:33 > 0:09:34- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Another day dawns - over Baltimore Bay.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- Will the Mistress - set sail today, I wonder?
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- Is the surprise you have - in store for me to do with sailing?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Yes, it is. See this?
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- Towelsail Yawls is a book about - the history of lobster fishing.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- I spoke to the woman at the B&B...
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- ..and she said she knows the author.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- He's coming here to meet us...
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- ..and bringing one of the lobster - fishing boats he's built...
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- ..so we can go out on it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- I thought you were taking me out - for a nice lobster meal.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- No, not quite, - but you'll learn how local lads...
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- ..fished for lobster.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- They were formidable sailors.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Welcome aboard.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34- Welcome aboard.- - Thank you.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- I'm chuffed - I've been able to arrange this.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- They'd put up a tent at the front - and live in it for seven weeks.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50- They'd put clay on the floor - and light a fire to cook food.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Just thinking of living in - a confined space for seven weeks...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- It's a beautiful boat.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Don't tell Number 1 - but I'm looking forward to this!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- They set off - for a new adventure in the yawl.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- Coming out in a traditional boat - like this in its native home...
0:11:14 > 0:11:19- ..makes this an unforgettable - experience for me.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- I've a keen interest - in maritime history...
0:11:24 > 0:11:29- ..and people's way of life - along different coastlines.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- This is great for me.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- It's not meant as a treat for John.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- This is something for me - but I wanted him to come along too.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- We're going to hoist the sails - in the traditional way in a moment.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Come on them.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Do you want this? Have you got it?
0:11:55 > 0:11:56- Yes.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- I'm enjoying this now.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- I'm really enjoying the peace.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- It differs from the Mistress.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- There's more room - to walk around on this.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- I can't describe the experience, - to be honest.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- It's something - I've always wanted to do.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- There are - your mates from Skomer, Dilwyn!
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- Are those your children?
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- The seals, you mean?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- It sails so smoothly.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- This is proper sailing. - You can hear the blocks squeaking.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- # All the blocks are squeaking
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- # Dilwyn Morgan's shouting #
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- I wish I didn't have to return - to the Mistress.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- But I wouldn't like to sail back - home in this either. No, thanks!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- They reach the furthest point - of the River Ilen...
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- ..where traditional boats are made.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- Do you see this? - This boat is being rebuilt.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- It was built - in this shipyard originally...
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- ..and sailed - all the way to the Falklands...
0:13:37 > 0:13:42- ..by two men from Cape Clear - at the beginning of last century.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- It was utilised out there - for most of its life...
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- ..and then someone brought it back.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54- It's in the exact place - it was built many years ago.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- They've stripped it bare...
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- ..and are rebuilding it with planks.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- It's custom made?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Yes, they have to cut them - in different sizes.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- It's a real skill.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Let's head for home.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- Let's head for home.- - What an amusing afternoon.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- Very interesting. Thank you.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- Very interesting. Thank you.- - You're welcome.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- After an interesting afternoon...
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- ..what's the latest - with the Mistress' engine?
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- I spoke to the bloke.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- We can't move her today - but she'll be tip-top by tonight.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- The bad news is we can't move her...
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- ..but the good news is that - it won't cost as much as I thought.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38- You were worried about that.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- You were worried about that.- - I thought he'd bleed me dry.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- But it's only going to cost - 80 euros, around 50.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49- What bothers me is that - we've come all this blooming way...
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- ..to one of the - best sailing locations in Europe...
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- We're going to miss all that.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- We're going to miss all that.- - I think I've found a way round it.
0:14:58 > 0:15:05- Go back to the Mistress, fetch my - sailing gear, forget my Wellingtons.
0:15:05 > 0:15:06- Do I need mine? Am I coming?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Do I need mine? Am I coming?- - Of course you are.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- I'll meet you at the shed - near the Mistress.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- I want to go and see someone.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- What does John have planned?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- I've hired this.
0:15:26 > 0:15:27- What, this?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- What, this?- - Yes, for a few hours.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- No way! Don't lie!
0:15:32 > 0:15:36- We're going to sail - around the islands with its owner.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39- He charters this - and I've hired it for four hours.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41- A 50-footer just for us two?
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- You've no idea - what this means to me.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46- This is what you call a boat.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- This is what you call a boat.- - I'd like one like this.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- We're wasting time. - I've paid for four hours.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- We'd better go - instead of wasting any more time.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- It's almost twice the size - of the Mistress.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04- Do you want to take her?
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Do you want to take her?- - No, you take her now.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- For a 50-foot boat, - it handles better than the Mistress.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- You can steer it like a car.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- John's sitting there like a lord.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- He'll want - a bigger a boat after this.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Hopefully!
0:16:25 > 0:16:29- If I were teaching you to drive, - I could take over.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- Don't!
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- It's like dual controls on a car.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- If you go the wrong way, - I can tweak it.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Don't!
0:16:41 > 0:16:46- It's nice having other people do - all the work, hoisting the sails.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- It's easy to steer - when it's powered by the engine.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56- It's like driving a car, but it's - harder when it's powered by wind.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- I enjoy being at the helm.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Do you, Dil?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Yes. It's going well.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- I'm doing nothing.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- I'm excess baggage.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- He's usually shouting at me - to fetch him a cuppa or a scone.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- A cuppa would be nice, Dilwyn.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- A 50-footer costs around 150,000.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- JPJ Pugwash...
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- ..is in control.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- He's told me to go down below, - so off I go. Let's see what happens.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- I enjoy being up here by myself...
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- ..steering this large boat.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- You feel responsible - and you can feel the entire boat...
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- ..the whole 50 feet of it, - in your hands.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- It's incredible, to be honest. - Incredible.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- I have to check how we are for tide - but we should be OK.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17- We're fortunate - to be sailing on Con's boat...
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- ..because he's taking us to places - we wouldn't be able to go.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- He's taking us around the islands - that have narrow passages.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- He says - even local sailors don't go there.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34- There are spectacular views - to be had, so we're fortunate...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- ..to have this experience.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- I have to admit...
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- ..the thrill I get from sailing...
0:18:50 > 0:18:54- ..is when I'm under canvas, - the wind in my hair...
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- ..and I'm surrounded by sea.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- You also see - some spectacular scenery like this.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- We're heading - to the island in the distance.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- It's a particularly narrow channel.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- I'd never have the chance - to do this with John...
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- ..but since I'm with a local expert, - I'm going to sail through it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- That's what makes sailing for me.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- You use the wind - to sail the boat...
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- ..to difficult, remote areas.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- I can't explain how I excited I am!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- This is incredibly exciting.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- It's not much wider than the boat.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- I wouldn't do this in the Mistress.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- OK.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- I'd go through it again.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Good.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Time for the grand tour.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- I want to show him the difference - between the Mistress...

0:21:39 > 0:21:43- This boat is called Inishbeg.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47- Do you know what that means? - What does Inishbeg mean?
