Beverly and I are currently in health

which is just north of Dublin and there

is an absolute thriving trawling

industry here which means if you like

fish

there's fish markets and lots of fish

restaurants

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

behind me it's islands I and personally

I think it looks like a Westie a little

Scottish resting

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

the coldest marchello tar on the streets

and each which kim's rather a surprise

to me because I have a certain marchello

tires really find in South Hampton and

south coast they were originally built

to keep Nepal unite the idea being that

a fixed fortress with fixed cannons had

fixed lines of fire and then you exactly

where you were have you crossed one of

their lines of fire they could sink Lee

it was very hard to check a port with

one of these tires defending it but this

one's made of concrete not stone so it's

obviously much more modern

[Music]

[Music]

so then Beverly what are you doing today

well for my I don't know it's punishment

enough but I mean sent up the mast

because I've got a person Sherratt

because we have new fly coins new new

anchor light heist and we've been here

all week with no courtesy flag up and

guess who's got the chipper fix it

so it's up the maths for me

[Music]

I'm up the mast not have got company

somebody's come up to inspect the

standing rigging

[Music]

the reason for Beverly going up the mass

today is in evidence

we now have a courtesy flag up and we

have our anchor shape up

alright gainer what just went wrong

there had this beautiful passage plan

all sorted we're gonna go to the scary's

or fortunately the weather is just not

with it because we've currently got wind

coming from the north which means that

the scary is is gonna be a leeward sure

so plans go out the window

yep night correctly wrong but the scary

was absolutely brilliant for every wind

direction except one

and that wind direction is the one we've

got correct on the forecast my favorite

though forecast says the wind's coming

90 degrees different direction yeah but

the problem is then you seem to get

localized weather and things like that

it gives you an overall plan it's not

very good on the small scale no so we've

got another plan and we're going to go

out all of it hop skip and a jump to

islands I and Park up the back of it

which apparently will be good for the

wind direction we've got so we expect

the wind direction to change anytime now

today's push its plan is a very simple

one we're going from here to here and

it's not very far it's about three or

four nautical miles and there's next to

no end and there's very little tide and

we can see we're recording before we

leave so that's pretty much the passage

planning done as you can see from the

scale in this map compared to my pencil

this is not very big this is the same

passage on a much bigger scale so we

start from dying here in height we could

run in the back of Ireland's eye we come

up past malahide and we're planning to

curr next to this Martello tower in

about two meters of water and the reason

we're doing this is because the wind is

a slight north westerly component so

this headland will give us some shelter

please we wanted to go to it's a little

further up was scary's and we wanted to

anchor in here and unfortunately for

that wind direction as you can see

scary's is a leisure and is not a good

anchorage there was an island lam bay

island halfway up there are some eye

creatures on it but unfortunately

they're on this side on the top side and

there's a fairly open one on this side

and they're all quite rocky and we

didn't quite fancy any of them so we

decided to skip that and instead we're

heading for the this shallow water near

the March avatar and that's what we're

going to do instead

how don't seem to be able to get

anything right I'd really do try my

little best but we were pulling up the

anchor this morning and we've got a ball

on it so that we could see where the Ben

van thing was the anchor was and Bev

said one thing I don't want you to do is

to drive the putty ball so I went back

to get the anchor so the boat ready and

by the time I came back basically we've

gone over the ball basically our moral

of this story is we've got to get

everything ready and just just so

annoying so what we're gonna have to do

is call for assistance again we've got

the mooring ball off the anchor so now

it's just stuck and we've dropped the

anchor again so that we are at least in

we're relatively safe as in we've

stopped but I've no idea how this one's

going to end up but not done everything

right again

that's what sailing sometimes is about

steep learning curve on the end of this

yellow line is our mooring ball

underneath the prop

so it's on the end of that yellow line

somewhere over there a boat school

nothing I'm just talking somewhere over

there a boat it's coming to rescue us

okay give us a tow it's a cracking dawn

absolutely lovely this is our wake at

the moment and the only reason we have

that wake his foodies office yes

somewhere in there we being towed oh

[Music]

we've got the line has come back off the

boat

and it's on the two cleats at the front

and up there is the health lifeboat we

really do need to raise that five

hundred pounds for them because they

really are very nice people

yeah but that's gonna take us the least

five years to get there anyway we're

being towed

absolutely crackin morning beautiful how

the Sun is just starting to pick out the

most fantastic speed oh then it comes

soon to speak to me yeah

[Music]
