-Last time on Codi Hwyl, Dilwyn

-Morgan and John Pierce Jones...

-..were going to sail from

-Northern Ireland to Scotland.

-But alas...

-But alas...

-

-There's a leak.

-But damage sustained by Mystique

-meant that wasn't possible.

-The only solution was to travel

-by ferry to Tobermory...

-..and the Highland Games

-on the Isle of Mull.

-In the true spirit of this series,

-we're carrying on.

-In Tobermory, Mull's main town,

-they managed to hire another boat.

-Dilwyn already knows that

-and has seen the boat.

-But John doesn't.

-Look at the smile on my face.

-I have a new baby.

-This new boat is lovely.

-She's 43 foot long

-and she's called Lotus.

-I have lots to learn.

-All the equipment is different.

-I'm looking forward to having John

-here to tell him the good news.

-John and I are going to sail Lotus

-around Scotland.

-I'm like a child in a sweet shop!

-I won't sleep tonight.

-I'll be reading.

-But not everyone gets excited

-about the same things.

-On his way to the harbour, John

-has gone to visit a cheese factory.

-There's a new boat in the marina

-and John's in a cheese factory.

-It's incredibly hot here.

-I'm about to faint.

-He keeps giving me more things

-to wear.

-This system takes me back

-to a boat I was on years ago.

-You have to come to the mast

-to raise the main sail.

-I've fallen in love with Lotus.

-Lotus and I. And him.

-This is mundane work.

-Not much skill is needed for this.

-I just have to fill this.

-I'm going to enjoy this cheese

-I've bought for us.

-Maybe it'll turn Number One's

-stomach and he won't want it.

-I'm going to enjoy it

-after doing this.

-I'm sweating buckets.

-I'm about two stone lighter.

-Well, I think I've prepared

-everything.

-Everything is in place.

-I do have some concerns. I'm worried

-about John's role in all this.

-It's a big boat and it's heavy.

-John hasn't even seen it yet.

-He's gone to get some cheese

-from somewhere.

-I'm not sure

-that's our priority today.

-But we'll see what happens.

-Aah!

-It's incredibly heavy.

-Anything must be possible

-after moving that!

-That's boiling lard, John.

-Careful!

-I've scalded myself!

-To start, they soak the cloths

-that cover the cheese...

-..in hot lard.

-Just level it out

-like you did before.

-John enjoyed his visit

-to the cheese factory.

-What will he think of the Lotus?

-What will he think of the Lotus?

-

-Oh, wow!

-Do you like it? Come have a look.

-I love it. There are lazy jacks.

-Aren't there?

-There's a lazy jack.

-I think that's the only lazy thing

-on her!

-Oh. Witty!

-Great. There's a little seat for me

-behind the helm.

-I won't have to

-put up with that knee pain.

-The main sail is controlled

-from the mast.

-That's different from Mystique.

-There's nothing in the cockpit.

-So there's plenty of space

-to sit in the cockpit.

-Is there a table or something

-so that we can bring food out?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-

-Well done, Dilwyn.

-Happy?

-Yes. There's a lot of space

-in the cockpit.

-But you have to struggle over there

-to raise the sails.

-Struggle...

-Struggle...

-

-Whoa!

-Whoa!

-He's seen the inside.

-The key word there is struggle.

-In the next hour, I'm going to have

-to explain everything.

-He'll have to work hard.

-What do you think of it, John?

-It's very comfortable.

-Very comfortable.

-There's plenty of room here.

-There's plenty of room here.

-

-Happy?

-Yes. Yes. I am happy.

-Do you want to start

-looking at the instruments?

-So you'll know what's what.

-Show me

-where I'm going to sleep first.

-There's a toilet and everything

-in here!

-He doesn't care

-about the instruments.

-He just wants to know

-where he's going to sleep!

-There's a remote control in there.

-There's a remote control in there.

-

-Yes. That's a jacuzzi.

-What?

-What?

-

-It's your jacuzzi.

-Don't talk rubbish! Jacuzzi?!

-What is it then?

-It's the anchor windlass.

-It's the anchor windlass.

-

-In my toilet?

-Yes, you can drop the anchor

-while you're doing your business!

-I like the shower.

-Do you want to do

-the instruments now?

-Yes, fine. Instruments.

-Some of these instruments have Not

-In Use on them so we can't use them.

-This radio is very similar to yours.

-These are all labelled

-so that's easy.

-That's fine.

-That's the same as mine.

-You have a full plotter.

-It's touch screen.

-In terms of depth...

-..he's said we always need

-five metres clear under the boat.

-No less than that on any occasion.

-Why?

-Why?

-

-That's what his insurance states.

-There is one thing.

-I thought it was crucial

-but we'll have to overcome it.

-There's no auto helm.

-If you need to adjust the sails...

-..one has to be on the helm

-and the other has to be on the mast.

-There is one other thing

-you need to realize.

-It might come as a bit of a shock.

-I'm the skipper from now on.

-Who says?

-I'm the one who signed the paper.

-I'm the skipper, you're first mate.

-You can't boss me around this time!

-Hmm. That went down well.

-Everything to do with raising

-the sail, including reefing...

-..happens here.

-This fat red one.

-We could have called you that

-last year but you've lost weight.

-Ha ha!

-You need to loosen this one.

-It's similar to the cleat

-on Mystique.

-Yes, yes. Clutches.

-Pull that up.

-You just raise it like that.

-Up it goes.

-And it comes down like this.

-Under control.

-Don't let it go too fast.

-It falls tidily into there.

-Pole out.

-Clip it on

-and bring the sail down.

-Put this away as we did before.

-Just like that.

-Right. I'm OK now.

-Are you happy with that?

-Are you happy with that?

-

-Yes. Come on. Let's make a cuppa.

-Or shall we go out?

-And then you can make us one.

-This skipper job

-is going to be hard.

-I think the only solution is to show

-him out there how serious I am.

-It's going to be a challenge taking

-this boat out, just the two of us.

-He'll have to pull his socks up.

-And raise the sails...

-..as they take Lotus out

-to see how everything works.

-Released?

-Released?

-

-Yes!

-Well, this is my first experience

-of taking Lotus out for a sail.

-Is this a child's jacket?

-No. It's extra large.

-Could you pull in the fenders,

-please?

-It's the job I hate the most.

-No need to take them off. Just pull

-them in so that no-one sees us.

-Just pull them over the guardrail.

-Do you want me to bring up the step

-as well?

-No, the step is fine, thanks.

-Thank you.

-Where better to experiment with

-a new boat than in Tobermory bay...

-..and the Sound of Mull?

-He managed to close the guardrail

-on his own. That's something.

-Are you ready to take the helm?

-Are you ready to take the helm?

-

-No!

-Can I just enjoy the journey

-a little bit?

-The time has come for John

-to take the helm of the Lotus.

-How's it going?

-How's it going?

-

-Lovely.

-She's easy to helm.

-Easier than Mystique.

-There's a little bit of play

-in the helm of the Mystique.

-This one responds straight away.

-I'm quite glad

-we're not going very far.

-I don't think so. We'll only sail

-about 10 hours at the most.

-It's quite easy to helm.

-It feels nice in your hands.

-If you've done enough

-to get a feel for it...

-..turn us around

-so we can head back.

-We'll see how we come alongside

-and all that.

-The wind's quite strong.

-Do you want me to have a go?

-Yes. Do you want to take her in?

-Yes. Do you want to take her in?

-

-Yes, I wouldn't mind.

-Just to get used to her.

-It's nice to be back on the water.

-Heaven.

-This is the first time

-I've brought her in.

-Unfortunately,

-the wind is quite strong.

-At a time like this, being short

-on crew can be a problem.

-I'll try and find somewhere to bring

-her in as gracefully as possible.

-Are you ready, John?

-Are you ready, John?

-

-Well, yes.

-I'm not sure what I'm doing.

-As Dilwyn said, a crew of two

-on such a big boat...

-..means they need some help

-sometimes.

-The production crew

-step in this time.

-The wind was blowing

-in the worst direction.

-Thank you, John.

-Thank you.

-Throw it.

-I enjoyed being at the helm.

-She feels nice.

-But of course, we'll see how we go

-tomorrow when we sail properly.

-It was a great experience.

-I've just heard John say

-he's aware now...

-..of how difficult it's going to be

-with just two of us.

-With the size of the boat.

-We'll just have to take everything

-as it comes and make arrangements.

-We're going to enjoy it.

-John and Dilwyn

-are on the Isle of Mull.

-They're starting a new adventure

-on a new boat.

-OK, John.

-Released?

-Whoa! No!

-OK?

-OK?

-

-Let me tell you!

-Released?

-Released?

-

-Yes.

-Everything off. OK?

-That's a big boat.

-Well, goodbye to Tobermory.

-Goodbye, Tobermory. This is the

-second time I've sailed from here.

-The first time was 40 years ago.

-It was in the 1970s.

-Wow!

-It hasn't changed much.

-There are some fantastic,

-expensive restaurants.

-There was nothing like that

-back then...

-..just a few cafes and that hotel.

-Otherwise, it's the same.

-It was always very pretty.

-Goodbye to the lovely town

-and harbour of Tobermory.

-What's very different about

-my boat, Mystique...

-..is you don't have these blinds

-along the bottom.

-So far, I prefer my boat.

-Can you put the fenders away,

-please?

-Watch out!

-Do you want to close it now?

-Well done.

-The ropes go this side.

-Is there a brush for the floor?

-What?

-You can stick it up my bottom so

-that I can sweep the deck as well!

-They're going to sail past the small

-islands of Coll, Tiree and Staffa.

-They're aiming south

-towards the Ross of Mull.

-A journey of about six hours.

-OK?

-OK?

-

-Here you are.

-What's my course, captain?

-What's my course, captain?

-

-About 260.

-Because she's so light,

-you'll think she's going off course.

-You have to try and switch off

-your senses.

-That's difficult

-for a sensitive soul like me.

-You don't have to touch the helm

-much.

-I'll make us a cuppa

-and then we'll raise the sails.

-We're now in

-the Sea of the Hebrides.

-It's part of the Atlantic really.

-John is doing well at the helm.

-I tried to explain

-that the bow moves easily...

-..because it's a light boat.

-If you're not very experienced,

-you tend to turn the helm too much.

-We'll see how he is

-after about six hours!

-The chef, oh sorry,

-the captain has arrived.

-Are you happy?

-Like the proverbial pig.

-Here you are, John.

-Coffee?

-Have you got it?

-Have you got it?

-

-The Welsh for Hebrides is Heledd.

-The name is related to halen,

-which is salt.

-There are also references to Heledd

-in our early poetry.

-She suffered greatly and wept so

-much, the salt had an effect on her.

-That's where the name comes from.

-Think of the word hallt as well,

-which means salty.

-He's in his element today.

-He's so glad to be

-back on the water.

-He was a grumpy old man in that van.

-He was worried about his boat.

-He's more settled today.

-And his stomach is better.

-Do you want another?

-Croissant?

-Well, we've come out

-of the Sound of Mull.

-The weather is fine. We're going to

-try and raise the sails.

-John can take the helm under canvas.

-We'll see how it goes.

-Are you ready to try?

-You say when.

-Are you starting now?

-Are you starting now?

-

-Yes. That way.

-We've raised the sails.

-We had a lot of problems

-and everything went wrong...

-..but we're under sail.

-We're sailing around

-the coastline of Mull.

-It's going quite well

-and I'm enjoying myself. New toy!

-And a really big sail!

-We're going to jibe now,

-down between these islands.

-Fine.

-Fine.

-

-Are you ready?

-Yes!

-Yes!

-

-Jibe ho!

-In it comes.

-Ready?

-Here we go.

-Let it out now.

-I can't. It's stuck.

-Let it out now.

-OK. Thanks.

-Dilwyn wants to raise

-the front sail.

-It will make the boat

-go much faster.

-We're going back to six now.

-This is racing speed!

-Look at that smile.

-He loves this.

-The lad from Pwllheli

-speeding on the telly!

-She's going well now.

-I'm going to do a little detour now.

-We want to see a little island

-called Staffa.

-There's something very interesting

-on Staffa...

-..but I'm sure you'll hear

-all about that in a minute.

-That's where you'll find Fingal's

-Cave which is very famous.

-It was first discovered by

-Scottish author James Macpherson...

-..in the early 18th century.

-It's amazing

-according to the description.

-If you take a boat into the cave,

-you'll come across a big hall.

-It produces the most amazing sound.

-It's the purest echo

-you'll ever hear.

-That's what inspired Mendelssohn

-when he composed The Hebrides.

-After that, many people came

-such as Tennyson, Wordsworth.

-Turner came as well to paint it.

-Queen Victoria came as well.

-She came here just so that people

-could see her going in.

-I'm not sure how she got there.

-But that's the famous Fingal's Cave.

-Thanks, John.

-Lotus is too big

-to go into the cave...

-..so we'll have to take his word

-for it!

-I've been in touch with a man

-in the next place.

-I promised we'd visit him.

-He's Welsh. He's called Rhyddian.

-Rhyddian Knight.

-He has an outdoor place...

-..where you can live from

-what you can forage on the land.

-He has a school where he teaches

-children how to live in the wild.

-He says there's a Welsh woman

-who works there.

-He doesn't speak Welsh

-but he's from Wales.

-He has a good Welsh name, Rhyddian.

-Shall we go there?

-Are we dropping the anchor?

-Yes. We'll have to.

-Yes. We'll have to.

-

-OK.

-They have to take down the sails

-to go into Camas bay.

-I'll turn her back round.

-My mouth is dry. I'm a bit nervous

-because we're so close to land.

-It's an unfamiliar place

-with an unfamiliar boat.

-A touch of reverse.

-OK. Take it out of gear.

-We've anchored in a rather pretty

-bay and it's quite sheltered too.

-We're just around the corner

-from Bun... Busnesan.

-No. Bunessan.

-Is that what it's called?

-Is that what it's called?

-

-Yes.

-That's where we'll be mooring

-tonight.

-We've come here

-and John's going to go to land.

-He's going to meet Rhyddian.

-He's going to meet Rhyddian.

-

-Because he's making a fuss.

-He's making a fuss

-and wants to stay here.

-Real sailors can leave the boat

-and go to land.

-That's the idea of cruising.

-You drop the anchor, go to land

-and then return - but not him!

-I'm going to stay here.

-I really want to go with John,

-of course.

-But I'm going to stay here

-to clean and tidy up.

-Lies!

-Don't listen to him. He just wants

-to sit here and lie down.

-There really is no need

-for him to stay here.

-Those of you who sail

-will know that.

-So there we are.

-Unfortunately, I won't have

-the chance to see land here.

-I'll have to stay on the boat.

-I hope John has a dry landing.

-Next time, we'll meet

-the Welsh people of Camas.

-We'll also take a trip

-to Bunessan...

-..and discover

-the islanders' sad history.

-There's a very strange feeling here.

-Terrible.

-And we'll go on a pilgrimage

-to the holy Isle of Iona.
