Distant Shores 5Premiere date: Tuesday, 26 February 2008 at 20h30.
No matter how many times they sail off into the sunset, they always come back again to tell us what they’ve found. Paul and Cheryl Shard are back for a fifth season of Distant Shores - this time with a new boat.
In this series Paul and Cheryl say goodbye to their beloved Two-Step and search for its worthy successor. Whilst looking for a suitable craft, the Shards take time out to sail with friends on a variety of boats.
There is also a final emotional journey to Malta on Two-Step before it’s handed over to new owners, and a challenging Atlantic crossing to break in their new boat.
