Interesting small boat voyage around the British Isles web site

Here is an interesting site I came across in Small Boat Advisor magazine.  It’s about a chap called Dylan Winters who decided to buy a small, cheap old sailboat and sail around the British Isles, going up the rivers and creeks.  He is doing it over several years.  Fascinating stuff; visiting all sorts of interesting places with lots of sailing videos to watch.  Dylan is a BBC presenter and professional videographer so the production quality is high.
