Announcing Off Watch - Season 3!
We're back! New Season, New Ship! And we have lots to chat about!
We'll be looking at the fascinating history of working boats - from Pilot Cutters to Smacks & Trawlers to Thames Barges and lots more! We'll also be shining the ships spotlight on some of the hidden hero's that support the sailing word from the RNLI to Light Ships and beyond.
And! After an eventful winter we find ourselves crewing on a new vessel, the Nevermore! - We like her a lot, though she's got some interesting quirks...
Season 3 will launch in early March, with new episodes released once a month.
