Distant Shores (Canadian TV series)
Distant Shores is an adventure tourism television series produced by Shard Multimedia Inc. Distant Shores is broadcast in over 50 countries.
The series follow the voyages of a couple, Sheryl and Paul Shard in their sailing boat.
Before the TV series, the Shards produced two videos, “Cruising the Bahamas” and “Transatlantic crossing” (from Norfolk, Virginia to Portugal via the Bermudas and the Azores). Also they documented the construction of their homebuilt boat, the Classic 37 Two-Step.
In series one to three, the couple sails around the Mediterranean in their homebuilt classical yacht, Two-Step.
In Series four they travel to the Middle East, visiting Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and Egypt.
In Series five they visit Italy, Sicily and Malta, where they sell Two-Step. Later they research a new boat, attending the London Boat Show and chartering a catamaran in the Virgin Islands. Finally they buy a Southerly 42, named Distant Shores in which they travel from England to the Caribbean and the Bahamas, via the Madeira and the Canary Islands. Due to the boat's low draft (it has a swing keel) they were able to explore areas inaccessible to other boats.
Distant Shores (album)
Distant Shores is the fifth studio album by the English duo Chad & Jeremy. It was released on 15 August 1966.Distant Shores was recorded between November 1965 and March 1966. This is the first album in which the duo were given time to craft their sound and style. This album is a precursor to their psychedelic album, Of Cabbages and Kings. It includes the first recording of Paul Simon's "Homeward Bound", predating even Simon & Garfunkel's record.
Recording
"Distant Shores was a milestone in Chad & Jeremy history because the title track (and two others) were recorded on the West Coast. This was an important development because we were finally able to track our recordings (build them layer by layer) and work with a producer with whom we had a strong rapport, namely Larry Markes, a fellow song writer and creative spirit," Chad Stuart recalls.

Long Before
by: Palace BrothersLong before what is black was blackened
O, long before
Blooms of gray made mother lovely
Mother ain't lovely no more
And long before the house was leaning
O, long before
The corridor of box woods lined the entrance
Box woods ain't there no more
Dad burned the box woods
And like to burnt the house
But one came wandering and beat daddy down
O, long before
Long before this road seemed knotted
O, long before
There was but one path dim and cozy
Path don't seem to be no more
And long before you were my sister
O, long before
Gals in town they called me mister
Ain't no girl call on me no more
I cut the card loosewise
Were you not my only dream?
Give the hero his house
He and ma live in sin
O, long before
And long before you were an artwork
O, long before
Mama suckled you on her holy breast
Mama's breast ain't holy no more
Long before we shared a shortsheet
O, long before
I stood above you as you slept
I don't stand above no more
We won little mobile
And won filthy path
And will drift along tongueless unhappiness at last
Will last
And last
Till we see fit to stand before
That virgin cunt, that sainted whore
Whose piss we have slept under
Whose smell we have bore
It is her heelprint that marks our faces
