19/32 Stornoway to Mallaig - the weather relents for Shark Bay

http://www.boat-zone.com/mbm Although the forecast is not good, John and Fionn decide that it's good enough to venture out onto the open sea again. More forecast bad weather evaporates as they head west towards Skye but again it's a very tough leg to reach picturesque Portree and then make their way further south along a very grey coastline to Mallaig. But there's still little prospect of the weather improving...have the boys used up all their good fortune already?

Sponsored by leading boat insurance specialists Haven Knox-Johnston (http://www.boatinsure.co.uk), The Great Motorboat Tour is the weekly video diaries of two men in a boat and their attempt to circumnavigate the British Isles. Film-maker John Boyle and cameraman Fionn Crow Howieson set off from Falmouth in their Sealine S34, called Shark Bay, keeping a regular video diary which provides compelling viewing of their great adventure as well as unique views and insight into our wonderful coastline. Their route takes them eastwards along the south coast, around southeast England, across the Thames estuary and then along the full length of the east coast to Scotland and beyond, past Cape Wrath taking in the wildest and most remote shores of our islands. Shark Bay then turns south following Scotland's beautiful west coast before heading westwards to reach Northern Ireland. Their adventure takes them right around Ireland along the west and south coastlines before they head eastwards across the Irish Sea to west Wales and finally around Land's End back towards their home port of Falmouth. It's a huge challenge and not all plain sailing....so sign up to join the adventure in 32 episodes and see the British Isles as never seen before -- by boat.
