Once More To Sea

Fran and Chris Burns are sister and brother who grew up with their dad's Albert Strange designed boat Sheila being a big part of their lives. She was kept on the East Coast and so this voyage was across 'home waters' for them. Their dad, Mike Burns, recently sold Sheila, which had clearly been an emotional wrench all round, the main consolation being that she'd passed on to a lovely French couple.
