DISTANT SHORES - series 5

Premieres Tuesday 26th February @ 2100 CET/GMT

Westward Out Of The Med – 26th February @ 1930

Bestselling authors and award-winning filmmakers, Paul and Sheryl Shard, are known to Travel Channel audiences as the fun-loving and adventurous presenters of “Exploring Under Sail” and “Distant Shores”.

Now they’re back with their fifth series of their voyaging hit “Distant Shores” and there are changes in the air as the Shards have to part with their long time stalwart, Two-Step, the boat they built themselves, and buy a new one.

The series begins in Malta where Paul and Sheryl prepare their 37-foot sailboat, Two-Step, for a westward passage out of the Mediterranean. They are there in time for the start of the prestigious Rolex Middle Sea Race where mega- and maxi-yachts from around the world compete on a circuit of destinations in the Central Mediterranean.

Following the race they make the emotional decision that after 18 years of sailing aboard Two-Step it's time for a new boat and reflect back on the places they have visited with Two-Step. Their search for a new boat begins at the London Boat Show in England where they investigate the latest yachts and participate in activities there. While in London they stay with friends living on a sailboat on the Thames River.

And so a new series of adventures begins. To find out about future episodes CLICK HERE
