00:00Welcome to Florida
00:02Florida life, nothing quite like it
00:03Home to theme parks, golden tans and 400,000 Brits
00:08I absolutely love it here
00:10Who've made the Sunshine State their new home
00:13This is what sold me out of it
00:14Yeah, because it's stunning
00:16Who wouldn't want to live here like this?
00:18They've swapped drizzly winters and gas bills for new careers
00:22and seemingly endless fun in the sun
00:24Cheers Bigger's
00:26It's our little piece of paradise
00:28Get it right and life in Florida can be like a dream come true
00:32Every evening do this with your glass of wine
00:35But getting here and staying here takes hard work
00:38I do pinch myself every day
00:41Grit
00:41We've just lost the starboard motor
00:43And determination
00:44Good job, well done
00:46These are the Brits who've made their own Escape to Florida
00:55Today on Escape to Florida
00:57There we go, fish on right there
00:59Oh, come on, don't come off
01:02Publican Sean skippers a deep sea fishing trip into troubled waters
01:08Heavy rain storm coming in there
01:09It's a huge front
01:10It's a taste of home for Lincolnshire-born Charmaine
01:15We've got people going out for seconds already
01:16Yay!
01:18As she organises a curry night for fellow Brits and friends
01:23Everyone's English, Rick's the only American
01:25Oh, what?
01:28And it's time to celebrate for Yorkshire couple Gary and Maria
01:31He-hey!
01:34He-hey!
01:34He-hey!
01:35With not one, but two new grandchildren on the way
01:37This is what we wanted when we came over here
01:41The American dream
01:42Yeah
01:47With over 8,000 miles of coastline
01:50And around 4 million licensed anglers
01:53Florida is considered the sports fishing capital of the world
02:00And in Apollo Beach, it was the thrill of the catch
02:03That drew Northern Irish couple Sean and Anya
02:06To the Sunshine State 25 years ago
02:09We lived in New York and New York was fabulous
02:12But I've always wanted to have a boat
02:14And we've always wanted to live on the water
02:17Always by the water
02:18Yeah
02:18Just getting all these rods for different types of fishing
02:22They're heavy duty even though they look skinny
02:24Now it's just technology today
02:26Apollo Beach really is a great place to come and experience fishing
02:30There's this wonderful feeling when you have a fish on the line
02:34And you pull it up yourself
02:38Sean owns a pub in town
02:40With Anya running the accounts from home
02:43Sean is also a licensed captain
02:45And has a little side hustle running fishing trips
02:48I was very passionate about fishing
02:50So I turned it into a charter business
02:52Five, four, six, eight, nine
02:56Let's get a couple more
02:59Today Sean's preparing for his first fishing charter
03:02Since their home was devastated by a hurricane last year
03:05We've been through many, many hurricanes
03:07But never got affected by the way this one had us
03:11After nine months of renovations
03:13They've been able to move back home
03:15But outside, there's still work to be done
03:18Including restoring a special place beside the water
03:21This is our little pebble beach
03:24When Anya was going through her cancer five years ago
03:27And out there
03:28She wanted a wee beach
03:29Those pantries over there
03:30So I just made the whole thing
03:32And just slowly getting it back to where it was, you know
03:36The day I got diagnosed
03:38Was my 20 year anniversary of being in the United States
03:42I had a form of cancer that was quite rare
03:45Leomyosocoma of the uterus
03:48The consultant said to me
03:50The prognosis generally isn't very, very good
03:52I had to get everything removed
03:53And then I had three months of chemo
03:58What's happening to mama?
03:59What's daddy doing?
04:04I shaved Anya's head
04:06It was quite a humbling experience
04:09When it really hit your doorstep
04:10Of course you're going to think the worst
04:12You're overwhelmed by your loss
04:14Beautiful
04:15And then I thought to myself
04:17You know children go through this
04:19So dry your eyes and get on with it
04:21And that's exactly what I did
04:23You got a blower there?
04:28When I went back for the full check-up
04:30Everything was clear
04:31And it's been five years
04:32So I was very, very lucky
04:35After Anya went through cancer
04:37Things got into perspective
04:40You know, it definitely did
04:41You know, it's the big picture
04:43You've only one run at this life
04:44All the things that you are planning to do
04:47You've got to do them
04:49The couple have travelled more
04:51And are making more use of their boat
04:53And today Sean's getting his fishing business
04:55Up and running again
05:00Watch your hat Anya
05:01Sean and Anya are looking for schools of whitebait
05:04In Tampa Bay
05:05With their neighbour Brian
05:06And his son Grant
05:09We're heading up
05:10Right to this tower right up here
05:13We're going to see if we can see some fishing
05:16The whitebait will be used as live bait
05:19To catch much bigger deep sea fish
05:21On Sean's charter tomorrow
05:22He usually finds them sheltering from predators
05:25Around navigational shipping towers
05:30My sonar
05:31It'll detect bait
05:33So you're really looking for a bunch of grouping
05:35You know, a big spoon of bait
05:37Right over there, they're on the top
05:38See them?
05:39Yep, we're going to give it a shot
05:41Sean needs to work closely with Brian
05:43Trying to ensure the heavily weighted net
05:45Doesn't get caught on the tower
05:48It takes an awful lot of skill
05:50To keep the boat in the right position
05:52In order for someone else to throw a net like that
05:56Marking good right here Sean
05:58Up on the top
05:58And down below
06:00There they are right there
06:02Go ahead now
06:06A good haul today
06:08Will help Sean Skipper a successful deep sea trip tomorrow
06:11And revive his charter business
06:14To help pay for the restoration of Anya's beach
06:17And other hurricane repairs he's left to complete
06:20Clients, they're not impressed
06:22But we don't catch sticks, you know
06:23So we just want to have an arsenal of it, you know
06:26All right
06:35There we go, perfect
06:36Yeah, Brian, I think we've got enough
06:38That'll keep us going
06:41There's about 6,000 in there
06:43But that's plenty
06:43We achieved our objective for the fish tomorrow
06:47So we're good
06:56260 miles south on the Atlantic coast
06:59Miami is known as the Magic City
07:02It's the place to see and be seen in Florida
07:06Over 23,000 Brits have settled here
07:09And in its chic suburb of Sunny Isle Beach
07:13Hey guys
07:14Hey guys
07:15I summed up a little brainstorm from Friday
07:17And we've got some good goals for next quarter
07:21Lincolnshire-born Charmaine
07:22Runs a multi-million pound British company
07:25From our home office
07:27We sell mobile phones and mobile phone contracts
07:30To businesses in the UK
07:32Anyone from a plumber
07:34All the way up to really big corporates
07:36With like 2,500 handsets
07:38Good job
07:38It's on the right
07:40Yay
07:42Charmaine established the company in England 26 years ago
07:46But now runs it from Florida
07:48With a 5-hour time difference
07:51I carry my phones everywhere with me
07:53Oh, there we go
07:54And that's the reason why
07:56Hey, hi, how you doing?
08:00Charmaine and her ex-husband
08:01Bought a holiday home in Florida together in 2008
08:04But when they separated in 2016
08:07She made the permanent move with Skye
08:10And her elder daughter Angel
08:11My Angel's 18
08:13She's due to start university
08:15And at the moment she's away discovering the world
08:19What we have been through together as a little family
08:23Has been quite bonding
08:25You know, we moved country together
08:27Just after a very messy divorce
08:29It was quite tough
08:30Because, you know, single mother to two children
08:32I took them to Disney a lot
08:34And we would just appreciate that we have each other
08:37We have this wonderful life
08:41Charmaine isn't the only one working from home today
08:46Her 15-year-old daughter Skye is homeschooled
08:49And attending online lessons
08:52You on break?
08:53Yeah, for two minutes
08:55Do you like this?
08:57Ooh, nice
08:58What is it? An octopus?
09:00Yeah
09:00Very cool
09:01Skye is just the polar opposite to me
09:03I love being with her
09:04She's very unpredictable
09:06You fell asleep in that?
09:08Yes
09:08Oh, my God
09:09But on the camera?
09:11No, I woke up off
09:13My favourite thing about home school is
09:16It's really fun to hang out with my mum
09:18Has anyone else ever fallen asleep in class?
09:20I'm looking blue in my pyjamas
09:25What are you making?
09:26Bacon and eggs
09:27An avocado
09:29Skye is like my little best friend now
09:31What I love about her
09:32She doesn't see limitations
09:35Skye was diagnosed with a hearing impairment
09:38When she was just two years old
09:40Skye has a bilateral sensorineural hearing loss
09:44When I first heard the news
09:45I was just so overwhelmed
09:47She's just the sweetest thing on earth
09:49And to know that she was just going to have to deal with this for the rest of her life
09:52Just broke my heart
09:53She could completely lose her hearing at a later stage in life
09:58Skye is a big part of the reason that we moved to Florida actually
10:02School back at home in London was challenging
10:05It was just very difficult to keep up with as I got older
10:11Everybody I spoke to just said
10:12Look, if you have the opportunity to get an education for Skye in America
10:16Then just run for it
10:17Because they accommodate children with learning difficulties quite a lot more here than they do in England
10:22Do you have any pasta today?
10:25Yeah
10:25It's our monthly curry club tonight
10:28Charmaine started her expat curry club six months ago
10:32To stay connected to both her British and Indian roots
10:35My dad is from Goa
10:38And my mother is Anglo-Indian
10:40I really can't imagine my life without curry
10:43I love it
10:46Bread curry club is usually held at Indian restaurants
10:49But tonight Charmaine's decided to host it herself
10:53I think everyone thought that I'd be cooking especially as I'm Indian
10:56But I'm ordering out instead
10:58Because then that way everybody will enjoy the food
11:01I don't think I'm really built to cook
11:04I'm built for spreadsheets and that's it
11:06You've been raised to tolerate my cooking so yeah, she's fine
11:09Somehow
11:11Thankfully for Skye
11:12Not even mum can make a mess of bacon and eggs
11:16Let's see you
11:17Gracias
11:19So what's in the co-cold menu?
11:22Your favourite chicken teacup
11:23When you were like six months old you'd be eating all this spicy curry
11:26You loved it
11:27Today you'll get to compare a Miami curry to a London curry
11:34Obviously it's a group of English people
11:35They're going to be tough to impress when it comes to curries
11:39Hopefully it's going to be good
11:40Yeah
11:52Millions of British families have flocked to Orlando's world famous theme parks since the early 70s
11:58And thousands of them love it so much they make Florida their home
12:04I'm going to tickle that belly
12:07I've got you, I've got you, I've got you, I've got you
12:10Including bar managers Gary and Maria from Yorkshire
12:14Who are visiting their grandchildren in the northern Orlando suburb of Tabari
12:19You have trouble
12:20We're from Hull
12:22Maria's from the posher end
12:23East Hull, yeah
12:25Built in
12:26The couple married in 1993
12:29And emigrated to Florida in 2007 with daughters Ria and Darcy
12:35Waking up in England silly o'clock in the morning go to work dark, dismal, rainy
12:40We didn't want that anymore
12:42Ria was 12 and Darcy was just about to turn six
12:45As a parent you want to try and give your kids a better life
12:4818 years on and both girls are married
12:51With now 30 year old Ria and her Puerto Rican husband Angel expecting their first grandson
12:59I'll definitely be buying his first Hull City jersey for sure
13:02Joining daughters Amara who's three and 22 month old Elora
13:07Our granddaughters are
13:09Beautiful, absolutely
13:10Yeah, absolutely gorgeous
13:11We love them to bits
13:12Having grandkids over here don't make you want to be anywhere else
13:18Hi
13:19You say hi
13:21You say hi
13:23There's also another grandchild on the way
13:26As their 23 year old daughter Darcy
13:28Is expecting a baby girl with her American husband Donovan
13:32It was a big shock
13:33It was
13:34Ria, I kind of knew she was trying
13:36Yeah
13:36But as for Darcy, absolutely not
13:38No, we were absolutely blown away with Darcy
13:40I mean, we didn't expect that at all
13:42It's been very challenging on my body
13:45I didn't realise it would be as physically difficult as it has been
13:49The cankles
13:50The cankles, they're like frigging sausages
13:53They're so bad
13:55The cankles
13:57Our doctors were very surprised to find out that we were sisters
14:00Because she sounds so British and I sound so American
14:03I think it's because I've been around my mum and dad longer
14:06And I also worked at the Best of British Café
14:09So I was around English people a lot
14:13So I think that's how I kind of kept my accent
14:16Touch bumps with me
14:18I think we're carrying differently
14:20Yours is like higher maybe
14:22Mine's like lower
14:24Whereas Ria, she moved out at a very young age
14:26And she was more around the American influence
14:29You look so pretty
14:30So adorable
14:34Gary and Maria have worked hard their whole lives
14:38Back in Yorkshire, Gary was a pipe fitter
14:40And they ran a pub and a bouncy castle business
14:43Here, they're currently managing a sports bar together
14:46With Maria also doing extra shifts at the Best of British pub
14:50They've had to roll up their sleeves to give their daughters
14:54The best possible start to life in Florida
14:57To stay here, it doesn't come easy
14:59We tried our fingers in lots of hives
15:01Yeah, from property management
15:03Pool cleaning, house cleaning, DIY
15:05Added barbecue, grill rental, pharmacies, tour guide
15:09Still love doing it now, part-time
15:10Gary's definitely a jack-of-all-trades
15:13A master of gnom
15:14Master of gnom
15:14Yes
15:18Mum and Dad's entrepreneurial spirit
15:21Has rubbed off on daughter Ria too
15:23Hey, that's my favourite cookie
15:25That's your favourite cookie?
15:26Well, we'll save some for you, okay?
15:28She manages her husband Angel's chiropractor business
15:31And today, they're opening a new clinic
15:35So, it's a proud day for Gary and Maria
15:41This is my wife, Ria
15:43She's the one who's keeping everything going
15:47Okay, one, two, three, cut
15:49Watch your fingers
15:55Thank you, it feels great
15:58We have all worked very hard to be here
16:01And we are very grateful for my parents bringing us over here
16:07So, my sister and I could make a life out here
16:11If I can stop crying
16:14This is how it started, four of us
16:16What we came over for
16:18The American dream
16:19Yeah
16:19Really proud of them, I'm filling up now
16:21Oh my goodness
16:23Oh my god, speak of the teeth
16:24I'm very, very proud
16:25Aww
16:27It's the pregnancy hormones
16:30Today, it's time to celebrate as a family
16:33I'm gonna pour my daughter a glass of alcohol-free champagne
16:37Here we go, are you ready?
16:38One, two, three
16:40Hey!
16:43Hey!
16:44Hey!
16:44Hey!
16:45So embarrassing
16:45Hi!
16:46Hi!
16:48Tomorrow, it's the next stage of their pregnancy journey
16:51With both Ria and Darcy having ultrasound scans
16:54With the girls being pregnant together
16:56And grandkids and everything
16:57Yes, sir
16:58Exciting, exciting times to come
17:01Cheers!
17:01Cheers!
17:02Yay!
17:10Down in Miami
17:11Busy CEO and single mum Charmaine
17:15Is making final plans for tonight's Brit Curry Club
17:18Which is usually held at Indian restaurants
17:22Tonight we're doing it at my boyfriend's house
17:24I'm breaking all the rules
17:25Because he's not British
17:27And then none of my friends have actually met Rick yet
17:29So it's, you know, up to the fire
17:32Charmaine's getting a takeaway delivered
17:34And needs to confirm her order
17:36Oh, gosh
17:37That's cool
17:38It's not a problem
17:39Just bring him, he's awesome
17:41But new Curry Club members are joining all the time
17:45Bring, bring Sheldon
17:46It's totally cool
17:47Lovely to see him
17:48I think I closed off the list a good couple of days ago
17:51But like it always happens
17:53People keep adding themselves
17:54Which is always, you know, really convenient
17:56Adding yourself at the last minute
17:57When there's going to be food there
17:58Could you just go through with me again
18:00What's on the order?
18:02Flakiness is definitely part of the Miami lifestyle
18:05And you just have to get used to it
18:06So it's not a problem to add two more people on
18:11Lovely, thank you
18:12It'll be interesting
18:14I'm a little bit nervous for it
18:15That's perfect
18:16Thank you so much
18:17Bye
18:19Thank you
18:19Random people being added on
18:21But that's okay
18:21We're good
18:22The more the merrier
18:29Charmaine's hosting curry night at her boyfriend Rick's house
18:32And daughter Skye is coming along to help
18:36Hello
18:37Oh, you know what?
18:38He might still be at the store
18:41She's bought four catering bambaries to keep the Indian food warm when it gets here
18:46I think that's kind of low down for people to have to reach for food
18:49And then the curry is going to go all over that nice beige sofa
18:51I can help out if you want me to
18:53Do you want me to grab them and put them here?
18:55Yeah
18:56It's also really great having Skye at the curry event to help me set up
18:59Besides her hearing impairment Skye has been living with other complex needs since she was a baby
19:06Thank you boo
19:07There's like lots of little things in her body that go wrong that we don't really understand
19:12Like in her knee she has her bones are growing the wrong way
19:15She has a lower bite that she has to have her jaw broken at some stage
19:20I'm going to put the oven on so if they do come
19:23They can just sit in there for a bit
19:24Do you know how to work an oven?
19:27Do you know how to work an oven?
19:29Yeah
19:29Do you know how to work a company?
19:31Uh well technically I'm actually in school
19:38Luckily she's a very independent child
19:40In five seconds I will drop these packages
19:43The universe has given her other gifts and it makes her who she is
19:48Oh no that was not the bowl
19:51Damn Charmaine read the sizes probably before you order
19:55It looked really big in the photo and it's called a salad bowl
19:58I mean
20:01Boyfriend Rick's arrived to become the inaugural American in the British Curry Club
20:06And the miniature salad bowls are a handy size for Bombay mix
20:10All these pistachios are divine
20:13Is that something a Brit would say?
20:15Oh no Rick
20:16Any self-respecting Brit can tell you that the green things in Bombay mix are dried peas
20:21I really don't get very nervous about meeting people that are British that I've never met
20:26Well as long as I have tequila
20:29I should be able to get by
20:31While Rick primes himself for the British invasion of his home
20:34Charmaine's had a quick change and is preparing for the curry delivery in just 20 minutes
20:40I have a very simple job all I have to do is make these things warm
20:44But I don't know how to do it because I've never done it before
20:47When in doubt YouTube
20:51Her search sheds some light on the situation
20:56I see a flame
20:58Okay
21:01Each tray needs to be filled with an inch and a quarter of boiling water
21:06Do you own a kettle?
21:08Yeah, that's my kettle
21:09Put it on 15 and that thing will be boiling in seconds
21:12We're going to have to fix that
21:13You're with an English person now
21:16Ooh, the tea that's hot already
21:20The Indian food is due any minute now
21:22If the Bamborees aren't up to the mark by then
21:26Charmaine's fellow Brits could be eating cold curry by the time they arrive
21:31That's not a one and a quarter inch
21:33That's not even a half an inch
21:34Inch and a quarter would be to here
21:37We aren't even an eighth of an inch
21:39Well, if you had a kettle we may be at an inch at least
21:50It's 6 a.m. over on the west coast in Apollo Beach
21:54Today publican Sean is skippering his first fishing charter of the year
21:58Morning
21:59How are you?
22:00Doing good
22:01You alright?
22:02Yep
22:04The clients are fellow members of a fishing club Sean runs from his pub
22:08They're loading the live bait he netted yesterday
22:11Along with the other essentials
22:12Like bucket loads of beer
22:16Alright
22:17Ten lifejacks in here
22:19Alright
22:19Safety is first always when you're offshore
22:22I'm totally responsible for all passengers on that boat
22:25We're going about 120-130 miles today
22:28So we're going to run a straight run out there
22:31And then we're going to zig zag our way back
22:33Any questions?
22:34Nope
22:35Alright
22:36Here's to a fun safe trip
22:38Sean's wife Anya has arrived to wish the crew luck
22:41Tight lines my friend, tight lines
22:44But she won't be joining Sean's planned 9 hour deep sea expedition
22:48I love to go fishing but three to four hours is quite enough for me
22:53The sea can be quite a dangerous place
22:55When you go that far out anything can happen
22:58Knowing how to deal with those experiences
23:00That's where your captain's training comes in
23:03After a long layoff whilst he renovated his hurricane damaged home
23:07Sean hopes this trip will lead to many more in the future
23:10My objective is to put everybody on fish
23:13The boat to run good
23:14And hopefully we have a good experience
23:17That might allow me to start doing more charters
23:21Sean leads the charter out of Tampa Bay
23:23And into the open sea of the Gulf of Mexico
23:27He's taking them to one of his best fishing spots 60 miles offshore
23:34It's a great boat, it can handle a lot of rough water
23:41But she's going to be a bit gnarly going out
23:43Did we lose anybody?
23:48The weather forecast was for calmer conditions
23:51Then Sean finds at their destination two hours later
23:55The winds out of the southwest
23:57And these waves are just hitting us from the side
23:59I guess these weathermen sit in houses with no windows I guess
24:03You know, or whatever they do
24:06This is going to be a lot more challenging fishing wise
24:10Hold on, don't drop yet, don't drop yet
24:13The boat is going to go with the waves
24:15So there's a possibility lines can get tangled
24:18Alright, you can drop now
24:19Drop
24:21Despite the tricky conditions
24:23There we go, fish on right there
24:26Sean's clients have some early bites
24:29Easy isn't it, it's like fishing in the Thames
24:34The first snapper of the day
24:35We don't know
24:37Get us on that
24:38That's a good one
24:39Young Grant's using the live bait he helped Sean catch yesterday
24:43Hold it up, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up
24:47There you go
24:50That's a good one
24:51That's an amberjack
24:52That's a cool fish
24:53I call it a big amberjack
24:56He's slimy
24:57I know, he is slimy
24:59To prevent overfishing in Florida's waters
25:02Some species can only be kept at certain times of the year
25:06I've never caught one before
25:08Good job, Grant
25:10Unfortunately for Grant, his prize amberjack is out of season
25:14So he'll need to go back
25:16Well, we got a picture, so
25:18I can prove that I caught it
25:20Oh, I'm on
25:21Oh, here we go
25:23Alright, good girl, Tommy's on
25:25Oh, come on, don't come off
25:28Tommy's hooked a mahi-mahi
25:29It's in season, so
25:31If she can reel it in
25:32This is a fish they can keep
25:36Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho
25:38I love catching mahi
25:40They jump and give a show
25:42And then I love their colors
25:44And they're delicious to eat
25:46You can't go wrong with mahi
25:50It's a relief for Sean to see his clients catching fish
25:53But, with sea conditions in this area worsening
25:56This is crazy, they're drifting so fast
26:01Sean decides to find a calmer spot
26:03Alright, let's, let's tie them all up
26:05Secure them
26:08Hang on
26:10But there's a problem with one of the engines
26:13Sean
26:14Sean
26:14Yes?
26:15Go and try to crank it
26:17Yeah, it's not
26:20It's not happening
26:22Alright
26:23I'll take it up, Daryl
26:25Yeah
26:30Right, lads, we just lost the starboard motor
26:33So, we've got one motor
26:35And we're about 60 miles offshore
26:40Sean's charter is in very deep water
26:45When you're that far offshore
26:47And one engine fails
26:49It's not a good situation
26:50People are relying on you
26:52That's sufficient for you
27:09Up in Orlando's northern suburb of Tabari
27:12There's a baby boom in Gary and Maria's family
27:16I've got two beautiful grandkids
27:18About to be four
27:19So that'll make our babysitting lives a little bit more hectic
27:24We like to come round and look after the kids
27:26Well, Maria does while I fall asleep on the couch
27:30I've got to have my grandad naps
27:33Elder daughter Ria is due her third child and first boy in six weeks
27:39Darcy, their younger daughter, is a first time mum and due a girl three weeks later
27:44My bump is just like getting in the way of everything, bumping in all the counters
27:50Boo!
27:52Today the sisters are having scans together to check the progress of their babies
27:57I'm hoping that today at the scan they tell me that the baby is head down
28:01Because that was one of the reasons I had to have a c-section with Elora
28:05Is because she was breached
28:07So fingers crossed
28:09And my fingers are crossed for you too
28:11Thank you
28:12The ultrasound clinic is in central Orlando
28:15So Gary and Maria are on babysitting duties again
28:19I love my girl time, family time
28:21I look forward to it all week
28:22Grandad's making a nice flower for you
28:25I love it, I love it, I love being a grandma
28:27Oh my goodness, thank you so much
28:32Well you guys were blessed
28:35Very blessed
28:35Very true
28:37We came over with just the four of us, didn't we?
28:39And now there's going to be ten of us
28:41Yeah, okay
28:43Hi!
28:44Nice to meet you
28:46Yes
28:49Having children over here, you've got to pay for your healthcare
28:51Whereas in England, it's on the NHS
28:54Even with health insurance, the cost of giving birth can be eye-watering in Florida
28:59As can actually giving birth
29:01Let's see if I can get up here
29:03My first baby cost me about $60,000
29:07Insurance kind of like kicked in and took care of some of those bills
29:13He just kicked
29:14And my second child, close to $150,000
29:20And that is because she was breached
29:23Hopefully the head is down
29:24Hopefully
29:25Hopefully
29:27So the position of Ria's baby boy could make a huge difference to the bill she'll have to pay
29:34And he's facing up, so that's a good thing
29:36Yay! Good news
29:40It does cost a pretty penny to have a baby here
29:43I'm going to pop my bags right now and go
29:46I'm going to do the heartbeat
29:50This is the best sound in the world
29:53So this is a high-definition ultrasound
29:55Now you can see more real features of the baby
29:58He's sucking his thumb
30:00Perfect
30:01Perfect scan, yeah
30:03Alright, you ready? You're up
30:04Go go go go go
30:08Now it's time for Darcy and husband Donovan to see their baby
30:14Aww
30:15She looks like mom
30:16That was a cute baby, so that's good
30:22So what are the chances she has red hair?
30:24Usually, dad takes over
30:26She might have that red hair
30:29I hope so
30:30I hope she's going to be a little ginger
30:33Aww
30:34Well, thank you
30:35Thank you
30:37Both babies are all set to make their appearance in the world
30:41With Rhea's due in six weeks, and Darcy's just three weeks after
30:46Yay!
30:47That was so nice, I'm so excited
30:49I know, so cute, I'm so happy
30:51Yay!
30:52She looks just like you
30:54So cute
30:56She's so cute
30:57She does look like you
30:58Do you think?
30:59100%
31:06Down in the exclusive neighbourhood of the Venetian Islands in Miami, the Bain Marie's have been filled to the all
31:13-important inch and a quarter of water
31:15Guy, you want to come help, babe?
31:16And the final touches to Charmaine's British Curry Club event have been made at her American boyfriend Rick's house
31:24You've got to put them in bed, that one slipped out
31:26The first guest to arrive is a newbie
31:30Good to meet you
31:31Pleasure
31:32Um, come, come in
31:34Charmaine established the club with her expat friends
31:36Lovely
31:37It wouldn't be a curry night without some Stella, maybe?
31:40Exactly, exactly
31:42But British newcomers to Miami are always welcome
31:45The point of the Curry Club is to have a community of English people in Miami
31:50So how did you get into the group?
31:52There's a guy who's a fencer
31:54I met him on a night out in downtown
31:57And I challenged him to a fencing match
31:59British banter is so different
32:02Americans take themselves very seriously, especially in Miami
32:05So he brought all his kit out and we were fencing in the street
32:08Oh, yeah, he was at the first curry night
32:11Is that a British thing?
32:13Meet someone, get out there in the bar, start fencing in the street
32:17A curry club, of course, wouldn't be a curry club without a Ruby Murray
32:22And the Indian food has arrived bang on time
32:24Thank you so much
32:25Wow, that's a lot
32:27I hope everyone's hungry
32:28Hello, how are you doing?
32:30American Rick has become an honorary Brit for one night only
32:33After giving up his home to the curry club
32:37Nice to meet you
32:38Nice to meet you, thank you for inviting me
32:39This is Rick, my boyfriend, this is his house
32:41Hi
32:42Everyone's English, Rick's the only American
32:44Why?
32:46You know, exactly
32:49Ruth and Hannah right here, who are my long-time Miami girlfriends
32:54It will be interesting to see what they think of her
32:57How are you, Hannah?
32:59Lovely to meet you
33:00Lovely to meet you too, how are you?
33:01I'll get the low down later, I'm sure
33:03So you live in South Beach, or?
33:04No, I live in North Miami, but I'm from Maine, with Hannah
33:09Probably about four years here
33:11Okay
33:11I met Rick for the first time tonight, he seems lovely
33:14Hey, thank you, Jeremy
33:16Absolutely adore him
33:18I've got booked in Germany and it's really funny
33:20Well, that's next week, the German events next week
33:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's...
33:24He gets the... from me
33:27Rick has just been the American appetizer
33:30Okay, guys, guys
33:33Welcome to Curry Club, May edition, 2025
33:37Time for Shemaine's Anglo-Indian main course
33:40Come and have some curry
33:47I'm a British Indian
33:48It was really lovely to have an Indian meal tonight
33:51With all these British people who love their curry
33:54And I love my curry
33:56Curry's going down well
33:58We've got people going out for seconds already
34:00And there's enough food, yay!
34:02That's the wind
34:04My local curry house back home
34:06In Mahabara in Torquay
34:07I'll drop that in there
34:08Big shout out to Ali
34:09But that curry tonight was fantastic
34:12But we seem to be one Brit short of a curry club
34:15Guy has disappeared for a bit
34:17And probably called her boyfriend
34:20But she's back now, because she's hungry
34:23It's actually so beautiful just to be around English people
34:26I love America, I love Miami
34:28I love Americans
34:30Mmm
34:31But I'm still British at heart
34:33So when I'm around British people in Miami
34:37That's just such a happy place to be
34:39Because I get the best of both worlds
34:5060 miles off the west coast of Florida
34:53Northern Irishman Sean has very little to be happy about
34:56He's still stranded with a boat full of clients
35:00There's really nothing I can do
35:02I apologise for it
35:03But these things do happen, yeah
35:07The starboard motor of Sean's $500,000 twin engine boat
35:12Has broken down
35:14The captain, you don't panic, you know
35:16You just can't panic
35:17Because all the people are relying on you
35:19To let them know that they're safe
35:23Sean has a plan
35:24We're going to idle back on one motor
35:26And we're probably going to be going about
35:29Six mile an hour
35:32But we're safe
35:34We've got all the emergency equipment
35:36The only thing I just want you is to be as careful
35:38Just walk around the boat
35:40Because it's going to be quite like this for the next few hours
35:44There's plenty of beer and food
35:45Sean and his clients have already been at sea for almost seven hours
35:50They now face what could be a ten-hour journey home to Apollo Beach
35:54I'm devastated, I'm sick to my stomach right now
35:57It's not a good environment to be out
35:59And the one thing you need to rely on is your boat
36:03Sean was hoping that this charter would help him get his fishing business up and running again
36:08It's pretty bad
36:09My trip's booked next week, I have to cancel them now
36:13Sean met many of the clients on board in fishing clubs he's set up through his pub
36:18Thankfully, he's got very understanding friends
36:22You invite people on your boat
36:23You feel bad because you feel like you're ruining everybody else's time
36:27But it also builds stories
36:29We go to the pub, we always say, hey, you remember that night?
36:32You know, so it's a good story
36:34I trust Sean, we're going home, it's all good
36:41But now there are alarming sounds coming from the only motor working
36:49You just hear the rubbing noise there off the port motor
36:52It's taking all the drag right now, but it still shouldn't make a noise like that
36:57I have twin 300 engines on that, man, they're less than three years old
37:02The last thing you think is the second engine going down
37:05We're not overdoing it, just in case, you know
37:13Sean decides not to take any chances
37:16And changes course to take the boat directly to the dockyard in the city of Clearwater
37:21Four hours closer than Apollo Beach, where the engines will be repaired
37:26But there's more trouble on the horizon
37:28There's a heavy rainstorm coming in there, it's a huge front
37:33In Florida here, we have storms in the afternoon
37:36Some of those fronts can be 10 miles wide, but there's no avoiding it
37:42Oh, my God
37:43Did you see lightning?
37:45Yeah
37:45The lightning can be a huge risk
37:47You've really got to be very black and white in making decisions
37:51Could you tick down the antennas, please?
37:55We're about to get wet, here we go
38:00On just one engine, Sean manages to navigate a safe path that avoids the thunderclouds
38:06And, like any good captain, smiles through the storm
38:12What do you think of that rain smacking you in the days?
38:14Yeah
38:17But when they reach the other side
38:21There's still a long way to go until they reach dry land
38:24There's still about three or four more hours
38:27Three or four more hours
38:28Oh, yeah
38:45Up into Barrie, Yorkshire couple Gary and Maria have become grandparents for the third and fourth time
38:53We have mama and baby
38:57Five weeks ago, elder daughter Ria and husband Angel welcomed their first boy into the world
39:03This is little Angel Avon Jr.
39:08Amar and Allure are very excited to have a little brother
39:11And then, just six days later, and two weeks early, their younger daughter Darcy and her husband Donovan
39:18Became proud first-time parents to a little baby girl
39:22This is what I'm mad
39:26Her name is Isla Maeve
39:28She is a little angel sent from heaven
39:32That was a good toot
39:35Oh, grandma, grandad's here
39:37Hey!
39:40Gary and Maria now have two more reasons to visit
39:44Oh, where's your baby brother?
39:47Oh, there he is
39:48He's got big since last week
39:49And there's your little woodland fairy
39:52He's getting more ginger
39:53We'll have to dye that, won't we?
39:55I know!
39:56I'm absolutely ecstatic for the girls, yeah
39:59I mean, as a father moving over here, you can't be more proud of them
40:02The way they've turned out
40:04Darcy and Ria are both strong, independent women
40:06And they're both great mothers
40:07I think they're doing really well, I'm so proud of them
40:09They make me cry
40:11I'm so good
40:13The grandparents are both working two jobs
40:16So that they can eventually enjoy retirement with their grandchildren
40:19They're running a bar together, and Gary's a part-time tour guide
40:23But there are some jobs that Jack of all trades isn't keen on
40:27Should we go clean your butt?
40:29You looking at me for? I'm too old to do diapers
40:34We try and put Grandad to work
40:36I ain't got a clue how to do this
40:38Can you pull it down?
40:39Oh, hang on
40:43But, skills at changing the bin needs some work
40:45Did they have these back in your day?
40:48No, you just put it in the bin
40:50Ria, you might have to give me your hand here
40:54Pull it
40:55There you go
40:56Oh, there we are
40:57He got there eventually, that's all that matters
41:00It's like catching your first fish
41:02Hey!
41:04He's useless
41:05He tried
41:09With Ria and Angel starting their own business
41:12And four grandchildren and counting
41:14Gary and Maria's Floridian family tree is flourishing
41:19We had a certain vision in our head
41:20What we wanted when we came over here
41:23But the way life's going at the minute
41:24Our expectations have been like blown away by everything that's going on
41:28But the family's Yorkshire roots remain strong
41:31I feel British and I love that our babies get to grow up knowing that they're British
41:38But I hope that my children live the American dream
41:42Like we did
41:43Yeah
41:44And we are
41:44But never forget your roots
41:46Yeah
41:49We couldn't be more happier actually
41:51We've done our part as parents
41:53We've grown up now, parents ourselves
41:54So, wish them all the best of luck
41:57And we're here to help them any which way we can
41:59Yeah, every step of the work
42:01You can take the family out of Yorkshire
42:03But you can't take Yorkshire out of the family
42:06Can't wait to take a little angel out for a pint when he's 21
42:09Probably
42:1278
42:13Dead
42:26Out in the Gulf of Mexico
42:29Sean has navigated his fishing party safely through troubled waters
42:33We go through it
42:35Team one
42:36And they're now able to contact their loved ones
42:40We've just got phone service now, so that's good
42:43Okay, we're on our way to Clearwater
42:44I'm not getting any messages
42:46To Clearwater
42:50But they're still a long way from home
42:52As Sean nurses his broken boat back to shore on just one engine
42:57So we're just gonna put on in this afternoon
43:00Either way, it's always a great adventure
43:02We caught some fish today
43:03The water's beautiful, the sun's shining
43:05Still can't beat it
43:08There's nothing to do but sit back and enjoy the ride
43:21I see land! I see land!
43:24Land high!
43:25We are gonna be safe!
43:28Get home, Leryl!
43:30It's gonna be alright!
43:31It's gonna be alright!
43:34With land in sight
43:37It seems a pot of dolphins have arrived to welcome them home
43:42The dolphins always make an appearance
43:44They'll do a nice mantini show for you
43:46You got it!
43:49Being on the water, there's nowhere like it
43:51Sometimes you'll just get blown away by nature's natural beauty out there, you know
43:56They're swimming with us
44:00Despite the engine failure, Sean's first fishing charter of the year has been a day to remember for the whole
44:06crew
44:07Going out in the boat and being around good people and having a good time, there's nothing like it, you
44:13know
44:13And it seems to have reinforced Sean's new outlook on life with wife Anya
44:18Anya went through cancer and then we've been through this madness of the hurricane and things got in the way,
44:25you know
44:25It definitely seemed to take an awful lot out of us this period
44:29Adios, amigos!
44:31Adios!
44:33But resilience is the way to go
44:36And to be able to face and cope with the many things that life will throw at you
44:41We're safe, I mean, how did you guys enjoy yourselves?
44:45It was amazing!
44:46Had a great time, thank you!
44:48My previous boat in Irish was called Sale of Wine, which means one life
44:53So, with the charter business, there's no better time than the present
44:57It's good having positive people around you, so that was good
45:01Thank God I know them all
45:02Ha ha ha ha ha!
