Terry Darlington

No-one had ever sailed an English narrowboat in the US before, but Terry and Monica Darlington and their whippet, Jim, take us on a dangerous, surprising and always entertaining journey. A thousand miles of the little-known South-East Seaboard unfold at six miles an hour- the golden marshes of the Carolinas, the incomparable cities of Charleston and Savannah, and the lost arcadias of Georgia and Florida.

When their famous canal boat was destroyed by fire, Terry and Monica Darlington soon bought a new one and headed north in the Phyllis May 2 - to Liverpool, Lancaster, the Pennines and Wigan Pier. Terry recorded the journey, and alongside it the story of his life, his marriage and his dog Jim.

The hilarious adventures of Terry Darlington, his wife Monica and their whippet, Jim (who hates boats), as they sail their narrowboat, Phyllis May, on an incredible journey across the English channel and though France to the Mediterranean.
