Untrained mariner Timothy Spall has spent a fortune on technology for his new challenge - the unpredictable Irish Sea - as he and his wife continue their mini-odyssey around Britain.
On his way to Glasson Dock in Lancashire, Tim is tricked again by a buoy. Misunderstanding his sea chart results in an unplanned dropped anchor in the middle of the Irish Sea, where they have to wait all night before he can enter the port.
Timothy Spall and his wife Shane take their barge to three different countries and the Isle of Man where they visit his son, actor Rafe Spall, who is working on on BBC Two's The Shadow Line.
Timothy Spall's sea trip around Britain reaches the halfway mark. This year Timothy and his wife Shane have barged further than in any other of their previous six years at sea, but can they find somewhere to moor up for winter.
