They are about discovering the coastal world, journeying in a deliberately obsolete and uncomplicated way.
About travelling in a fashion, once commonplace on the Atlantic seaboard,
which is now largely ignored.
About being really close to the sea, its wildlife and the coastal fringe:
The smell of Kelp at low tide.
Watching the swoop of Fulmars.
Hearing the singing of seals.
Seeing the rip of the tides.
About the lift of the swell and feeling the boat lean to the wind.
About the anecdotes of today and the stories of the past.
About red sails in the low sun and the rhythmic sound of the engine on a calm day.

The emphasis is on a family atmosphere, with easy communication;
a friendly intimate kind of trip.
