Series 1

Episode 3

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One Northern IrelandLatest broadcast: on BBC One Northern Ireland HD

Barra takes a sailing lesson up the Lough and along the way encounters a few hairy moments at the helm. He meets Garry Crothers, who sailed from the Caribbean back home on his own - a remarkable feat for anyone, but made all the more remarkable given Garry only has one arm after an accident.

With his sailing skills honed, Barra joins a punt race in some tricky weather conditions and realises there is no such thing as plain sailing! He goes in search of shark on the Lough before landing back on shore and tasting some of the local stout made with oysters from the Foyle. Show less
