Navigating Through a WWII Wreckage Zone.

Footage: 2025-08-22. s6, e06.
Navigating a 50ft, 32-ton vessel through the UK's busiest estuaries isn't always smooth sailing. In this episode, I leave my peaceful anchor spot at Burnwick Isle only to receive a critical notice from Medway VTS.

The challenge? Navigating a narrow passage between shallow banks and a dangerous wreck to my right. Watch as I interpret the VTS instructions, manage a close pass with the sea-going vessel 'Lisa Lehman,' and finally find peace at Copper Bay.
