    Once again - brilliant. Videography gets better and better and with a poem thrown in, count be better. No mental health adverts, no super potions to drink every morning and no diet courses. Stay true

    Finally an episode where you were not getting beaten up by the sea. It looked like perfect sailing conditions. The poetry is getting better. Have you thought of writing a book about this round the world adventure and lacing it with poetry? Imagine, Internet sensations turned best selling authors.😁

      @@TheSailingBrothers yes of course
      I have very much enjoyed seeing how the two of you have matured in terms of your seamanship. From Biscay to windy channels of canneries and on.
      The gold in the channel in my humble opinion is the innocent and possibly naive risks associated with the adventures at hand (Learn fast or else). Also like so many out there i feel that the two of you experienced a life that didn’t meet your expectations but you had the courage to risk everything to see what was at the end of this flat earth.
      And its mahi mahi as it’s the fish that tastes so good they named it twice!

      @@TheSailingBrothers There was a cheeesy horror film from the 1970s starring Doug McClure about a helicopter crew attending a drifting yacht with only a traumatised female survivor on board and dead crew + a dead priest (!)... As a kid it scared the life out of me (Spoiler, the woman turns out to be the devil who originally came on board as a priest that the yacht's crew rescued...blah blah) but I saw it again recently and it was of course as tame as hell. But when I heard the voice of PL on your episode my mind immediately went back to that movie and I started writing the script in my head: two Welsh brothers out in the idyllic pacific blogging their voyage... when from below comes a familiar voice - "Hello, Daaaaave... is that Daaaave?" :D

My old yanmar leaked so much oil, pumping the bilge was like a mini exxon valdez. Ended up dragging it out of the boat and putting in a new beta 30.
