Synopsis

When Alwyne suddenly becomes tired of the monotony of life, he realises it is the perfect time to pursue his dream of sailing around the Mediterranean. After all, he is 48 years old and his three kids are already into their twenties ...all he has to do was talk the missus round. His wife, Jean, reluctantly agrees to trade in their beautiful cottage in Yorkshire to embark on a new, unpredictable life out on the sea. It was the midlife crisis that turned into the adventure. This is the hilarious true story of a couple thrown in at the deep end as they skipper Blue Skye C, a 25-metre yacht owned by an eccentric multimillionaire. Follow their voyage of exploration through France, Greece, Turkey, Malta, Sicily and Mallorca as Alwyne and Jean struggle with the language barriers, cultures and protocols each port of call has to offer, running into a host of wacky characters along the way. The world is their oyster and with unlimited possibilities on the horizon, every day becomes a new beginning. Through love, laughter, frustration and anxiety, "Drink, Dear Boy?" is an unforgettable, heart warming journey and the perfect travel companion.
