TORBET ON THE TUBE
Solar-powered snorkelling
On a filming trip to the Mediterranean , Andy Torbet finds himself lured by the siren call of warm blue water
These seagrass meadows are protected sites , no mooring
A
defining factor of my 2011 Britain By Snorkel project was just how much diversity there was in colour across the various waters of the UK , from rivers and lakes to the North Sea and English Channel .
All the same , when the call came to film a new solar-powered yacht in Mallorca for the YouTube channel Fully Charged , I was looking forward to some gratuitous blue water action . Even before we ’ d left home , I had browsed Google Maps to reconnoitre how far it was from the hotel to the sea . I was extremely pleased to see I could pretty much drop over the back fence and straight into bright blue water . Which is exactly what I did about three minutes after I checked in .
