Not sure if his channel has been mentioned before? But I've been watching this for the last year and have to say it's one of the better youtube series, production quality is really high too.

Basically Harry Dwyer is an Eco-inventor type, might have been on C4 a few times before now. When restoring an old Lighthouse Boat he was given a tiny two man speedboat, which he then restored and is now using t0 travelling along the entire coastline of the UK (though only when the weather is good).

Well worth a watch if you have time spare. I've been hoked since the start and it's a glowing advert for the UK, some amazing places being showcased.

Though at this rate it might take him another 2-3 years smile

Yes, I enjoyed the first few. But as you say, he is taking his sweet time. The last episode was also a bit of a pot boiler, to keep the thing going. Nothing much of interest in it.

Yes, he's great to watch, although he's somewhat underestimated how far it is and how long it will take him.

Long discussion about him already over in the boaty forum.... https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
