This week, BBC4 provided a feast of salty seagoing action:
'Sea Feaver' had some rare homemade Super8 footage of surfing action at Sennen and Gwenva - look closely 42m 56 seconds in and you'll spot ex-fishermen and co-founder of Scewjack Surfing Village (the world's first surf holiday venue) Chris Tyler along with some other notorious characters of the day - all regulars of the Swordfish in their day.
'Somewhere at Sea' follows actor Timothy Spall around the UK coast in the unlikely vessel for such a journey - the barge that he and his wife Shane live a board in London. This week they make the potentially hazardous journey around the Lizard and Land's End - though regulars of the blog will know that the barge Matilda was holed up in Newlyn for several weeks waiting for a weather window before attempting to go 'round the corner' to St Ives.
