Super film - well found! ... 4 miles in a Wayfarer used to be enough for me ... what a guy!

Brilliant - Thanks for the link.

I was expecting UK waters .

What a surprise when it turned out to be the Med and The Nile .

Don't remember seeing a life jacket and the sprayhood looked like it had been
borrowed from a deck chair.

No engine and no GPS . Great bloke too.

Yes really enjoyable.

He has villa in Greece which you can stay at - looks a quite lovely (probably expensive) place.

Obviously a get-up-and-go fun-loving bloke reading the web page below. One of life's doers it seems.

Just finished watching it on the telly, beer in hand. Excellent stuff - love the scenes of the Nile particularly.

A friend did part of the Nile with him. She as regularly disturbed by local kids yelling from the bank as she tried to pee over the side.
He was I believe one of the first staff working for Dinghy Sailng in Greece that has now grown into Neilson via Falcon, Soveriegn Sailing and Sunworld Sailing.
