About Britain By Boat
Veteran newsreader Michael Buerk and long-time journalist John Sergeant team up to explore Britain's coastline by boat. Starting on the sunny shores of Suffolk, the journalistic partners in crime board a 50-foot yacht, the Bonaventure, and set sail, heading south for some rollicking maritime adventures. Along the way, while putting their sailing skills to the test, they take in the glorious coastal scenery, learn some fascinating history, meet a host of interesting characters and enjoy some coastal cuisine.
