We use the idea that something is “must see” rather too often – but if you don’t watch this, then you really are missing out.
On Tuesday night, a documentary covering all the ups and downs of Deaf sailor Gerry Hughes’ circumnavigation of the world was shown on Scottish television, and can be seen in full, for the next 28 days or so, online.
To see it, just click here: http://player.stv.tv/programmes/incredible-stories/2013-09-10-2100/ (press CC for subtitles!)
Congratulations to everyone involved, not least Gerry Hughes of course, but also AC2.com, who captured the footage over the many months that Gerry was away!

Ah it has probably been made private due to legal restrictions, sorry about that (not something we have control over).
