As you will know I am a fan of Dylan Winter who is 'sailing' slowly around the UK, having started from Bembridge and got up to the Scottish border area on the east coast - it has only taken him 6 years....
He is currently back in Chichester Harbour having renovated a Westerly to make the passage around the top bit. He has posted a number of videos on You Tube, Keep Turning Left - about this part of his trip, the most recent being a trip from Chichester Harbour to Newtown Creek. He is spending a month exploring the Solent, getting to know his new boat so should be good watching for the locals who sail here.
Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CznRT9vCz5A and other videos he has done.
The other series I have come across involves a young German girl who is trying to set sail in her aluminium yacht she has bought near Panama - http://www.youtube.com/whitespotpirates - the videos are posted most Fridays and the trials and tribulations she goes through leave you exhausted just watching, but you have to admire her spirit and determination.
Have a look and see what you think.
