After we arrived in the Isle of Man, the racing boats arrived, rafted up, partied and left for another race. We stayed on and sampled the delights of Douglas and some of the touristy stuff such as the horse trams and Manx Electric Railway

than that we'll just say we had a great
time and it was lovely having them
aboard sassy lass here comes the horsie

I was 11 years old
[Applause]
we use the horse-drawn trams to take us
to the electric tram which we then took
up the coast to Ramsey because there was
some wearing balls up there we wanted to
have a look at
[Music]
[Music]
even in Ramsay at the puck ends of the
isle of man at the top of the map there
is civilization apparently these two
gentlemen are king godred and his son
king olaf godred is credited with
creating the Isle of Man in 1079 and his
son then ruled for 40 years afterwards
before being assassinated by his own
nephew so happy outcome he was
assassinated here in Ramsay I neither
the hobbits own here somewhere
there's only a matter of time well I
don't think we're coming into Ramsay
Harbor
[Music]
and this is the outer harbor
bill not your friend no I don't think I
fancy putting my yacht here in Nestle's
a build Kiera
[Music]
right so Gator what if we find out well
we're in Ramsey and just ask the local
experts and there are three warring boys
just on the outside of the pier and they
are going to be absolutely perfect for
us because we killed ball up here and
then you can take the tide right over to
whites even whitehaven yep witches won't
want to go so this is where we are
that's where we're going to this is
quite literally the end of the line
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
it's pretty much midnight here on salty
lights and I need well maybe you are but
it's blowing only out here so at the
moment Beverly is outside checking
fenders I'm glad I managed to not pick
that store up and this is another kind
of rock'n'roll
[Music]
