I have become addicted to Wealth TV. To be accurate, one show on Wealth TV called Distant Shores. Most shows on this obscure cable channel make my stomach turn but this one is frankly out of character with the rest of the shows on Wealth TV that seem dedicated to ...er life in the 1%.
Distant Shores is a 30 minute show made by a Canadian couple, Paul and Sheryl Shard on their beautiful Southerly 45, called Distant Shores. From what I can gather, they are full-time cruisers. They are anything but 1%'ers. Paul is a film-maker and they are subsidizing their life through their show which has been picked up in the US, Canada and the UK (I believe). I am in awe of people who have figured this out. The more I watch shows like this and read about the antics of Captain Fatty Goodlander, I wonder when I will wise up and sell off everything and head off with Mrs T on Cadence for life afloat.
If you can find the show, it's worth watching. It's not slick and at times a little hokey but always enjoyable. Here's an except.
I love the show....but jeez woman get a hair stylist or something. That hair helmet has to go!!!

I watch Distant Shores regularly, but it's hit or miss in my opinion. I loved the Atlantic crossing show and the Bahamas cruising, but when they focus on non-sailing stuff like shoreside attraction, I lose interest.
