- until now. Richard Tremayne the Flotilla Commander of a clandestine Special Force Naval unit operating from the rugged coastline of the Scilly Isles is once more in the thick of it.
...

The English Channel is the busiest waterway in the world. Ferries steam back & forth, trains thunder through the tunnel. The narrow sea has been crucial to our development & prosperity. It helps define our notion of Englishness, as an island people, a nation of seafarers. It is also our nearest, dearest playground where people have sought sun, sin & bracing breezes.

Tom Fort takes us on a fascinating, discursive journey from east to west, to find out what this stretch of water means to us & what is so special about the English seaside, that edge between land & seawater. He dips his toe into Sandgate's waters, takes the air in Hastings & Bexhill, chews whelks in Brighton, builds a sandcastle in Sandbanks, sunbathes in sunny Sidmouth, catches prawns off the slipway at Salcombe & hunts a shark off Looe.

Stories of smugglers & shipwreck robbers, of beachcombers & samphire gatherers, gold diggers & fossil hunters abound.
