Antartica
On this weeks episode we talk about our recent trip to Antartica. We took Quark's Ocean Adventure and the staff was maginificent in so many ways. We talk about the long slog down over days and multiple countries, the memories made with the penguins and people while on the other side of the globe. We are no longer whale virgins. Come join us on our discussion about the last untouched part of the world!
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,700
Hello and welcome back to
another episode of a record of
2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:05,000
my father.
We apologize.
3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,100
Because we've been away during
this holiday season, but now
4
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:11,100
we're back and we're ready to
rumble.
5
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:15,400
We've dealt with some illness
and some extensive travel, which
6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,300
we're actually about to go into
on this special episode about
7
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:20,300
Antarctica, our recent
Adventure.
8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
What do you have to say about
the cold place down there?
9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,900
Oh my gosh, too many things.
A lot of really, really, really
10
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:32,600
great times.
I kind of miss this, I miss the
11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,900
banter back and forth.
I have to say that jump in here
12
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:40,200
for a moment and say it's this
this is something I really enjoy
13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,100
to just go over, but the trip to
Antarctica was one of those, you
14
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:48,600
know, once-in-a-lifetime things
that you think about.
15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:56,600
We had booked it originally last
October it got canceled boy, did
16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,800
it like even before that right
was, that's for sure you're
17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,400
done.
First, I wasn't Years in the
18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,400
making of it was two years ago.
Three years ago, we started to
19
00:01:03,408 --> 00:01:05,400
talk about it.
Two years ago, we actually
20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,600
booked it.
Last October, we were a month
21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,800
away from it to happen and they
got canceled.
22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,700
Yeah.
And then what happened.
23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:22,500
It went from it that got
canceled by rebooked again.
24
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:24,900
That was Encore Kyrie book to
get on Silver C's, which is
25
00:01:24,908 --> 00:01:29,300
supposed to happen.
December like 23rd or 24th and
26
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:31,100
we're going to come A home on
the second or something.
27
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:33,200
Really cool like that.
We're going to be a New Year's
28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,800
New Year's Eve.
You're going to be popping
29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,800
champagne and the bottom of the
world.
30
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:42,100
Well, the day we were supposed
to go two hours before we got on
31
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:45,400
the flight.
Yeah, hey Hwang, go bang go,
32
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:47,500
good night.
Oh, they kicked us out and said
33
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:51,800
f off well, but to Silver sees
credit.
34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,900
They gave us a free Cruise
anywhere in the world for 12
35
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:58,800
days and we took them up on
that.
36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Yeah, it was a summer.
They paid for everything, but we
37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,600
went to co-op coast and we'll
probably talk about that.
38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,400
I think that's a good another
episode.
39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,200
It's yeah, yeah.
So let's not tell anybody
40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,199
though.
They don't tell anybody about
41
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,800
that was, it was great time
secret episode, but but any
42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,700
wedding down there.
Yeah, the amount of flights
43
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,000
always he was three flights.
One of Miami, Miami to Santiago
44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,100
Santiago to point out Arenas.
And then another one did George
45
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:24,100
is, I was four.
Yeah, South Georgia, South River
46
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:25,500
dries.
It was called South Georgia,
47
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,600
Georgia, South Georgia, Island,
Georgia, right?
48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,600
And we went to The Fray.
Station, which was the Chile
49
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,800
Chilean.
Air Base was an old Chilean Air
50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Base but evidently it was real
secure and all those kind of
51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600
stuff.
So you weren't supposed to take
52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,200
pictures or video or any crap
like that.
53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000
So of course we did.
But we were sort of
54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,800
surreptitious, you know.
It's like when you go in the
55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,300
Vatican and take the picture of
the Sistine Chapel ceiling or
56
00:02:50,308 --> 00:02:55,000
not supposed to and you're like,
yeah, Greece has that too.
57
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:57,200
But like a parking lot, I pay
taxes.
58
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,300
Maybe not here.
But I do in general.
59
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:03,800
Would hope that that would
suffice.
60
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:05,400
Yeah.
There you go.
61
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:09,200
I mean the overall I have to
come back to this.
62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,400
At the end, is that it was we
hit so many things.
63
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,600
I've never seen a whale before,
I mean on TV.
64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,800
Yeah.
But I'd never seen one in a
65
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:25,100
while.
We'd never I mean, the
66
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:30,000
exhilaration that you got when
you were sitting in the boat and
67
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,300
we were in a, what a 14 foot 12?
Foot kayak, though in the kayak
68
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:38,800
to person 1 and you have a whale
that pops out of the water like
69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,700
10 feet from you.
Yeah.
70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,500
Now it wasn't 10.
It was like 10 or 15 years like
71
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:44,700
39.
I was like 10 or 15.
72
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:46,800
Okay, I'm teaching you how to
lie.
73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,600
I probably hos online.
You're just the guy that
74
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,800
measures things with football
field.
75
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,300
Calls me a liar.
How far away was there anything?
76
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,400
Well it was about is about a
quarter of a football field
77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:06,600
nonsensical measurements.
I remember that we were writing
78
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,800
and somebody said how far away
is it I said, oh, it's about a
79
00:04:09,808 --> 00:04:13,100
football field and a half and he
look at me, like, are you the
80
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:15,500
stupidest fuck?
Call me her, they look to you.
81
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,000
Like, what are you talking
about?
82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,899
Ya know exactly what I was
talking about.
83
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:20,600
They didn't.
Okay, I should have said I
84
00:04:20,608 --> 00:04:23,200
should have said football pit
but it wasn't about that.
85
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,400
It's about a football field and
a half two there and then four
86
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,800
and a half, football fields back
all the way to the parking lot
87
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:33,900
and they were like what like
what is that mean, but this is
88
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,300
200 yards to that place.
So they were looking at you or
89
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:40,700
150 yards to the bacon.
There's yeah, like you measure
90
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:45,000
things in Coors Light cans or
something like the same form of
91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,600
measurement, maybe that's,
that's kind of a cool idea.
92
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Because what I have to do is I
need the chords like the
93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,100
football field quotient.
Yeah, the ratio or The ratio so
94
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,300
we can figure out like, how many
Coors cans.
95
00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:00,300
Of course, like cans are there
in a meter, probably a lot like
96
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,800
the where did we go?
First brings back?
97
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,500
Trying to keep me on topical
back.
98
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:09,100
Yeah, the seven-year-old is
going off at me seven and a half
99
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:09,700
today.
Yeah.
100
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:13,400
That when we talked about the
trip down or did we said we went
101
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,300
to Miami.
Yeah Santiago terrenas which is
102
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,200
the very what Puntarenas is a at
one point.
103
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,300
Said it was the farthest point,
south and Chile.
104
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:29,600
There's one more now than it's
on the Straits of Magellan are
105
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,200
so far now.
But yushka.
106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Oh yeah.
It's like you should get her
107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,500
something.
That's a you.
108
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,700
She goes farther south.
I believe still chilly.
109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Yeah, it still is chilly the
book chili.
110
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It's not the Argentina tip or I
think it is Argentina.
111
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,600
It's maybe it's Argentina.
Maybe that was the whole the
112
00:05:46,608 --> 00:05:49,300
whole issue.
But it was like, what?
113
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,200
Now I saw and we get to Point
the rain has and we're supposed
114
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,700
to sleep overnight there.
Air and then go the next morning
115
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:58,000
and they're like, nope, whether
it's going to suck tomorrow, get
116
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,200
on the plane now.
So we got on the plane then
117
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,300
afternoon.
Like, as we landed in the
118
00:06:03,308 --> 00:06:07,300
morning, remember, I do remember
and we popped and we, and we get
119
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:10,100
on the plane and you fly over,
and they're like, put all your
120
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:12,900
stuff on before you get off.
And was, which was kind of silly
121
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:18,700
because the weather was like,
35, 40 degrees 35 to 45 hours a
122
00:06:18,708 --> 00:06:20,600
day at night.
It was little bit colder, but it
123
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,300
was still.
Yeah, but the sun was up for
124
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,900
most the day, any Yeah.
Yeah, rentals are like 20 times.
125
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:27,900
Yeah.
It was light all the time
126
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:33,000
because it was sort of like It
was like what it is that around
127
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,000
as the sun's going down right at
the Horizon.
128
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,600
That's what it was all the time.
But no it's more like in the
129
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,100
morning before it rises because
you couldn't see the Sun.
130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,800
So it's got that kind of light
Darkness out there.
131
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:45,300
Yeah.
Messes with yeah.
132
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:49,000
It's like going to Iceland or
something there in the winter.
133
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,700
When it's our, I guess it's the
opposite of that.
134
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,700
But we got to the base.
We boarded the cork machine,
135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
which is really cool.
What is it the adventure or
136
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,500
something like that?
The ocean adventure, I think
137
00:06:58,500 --> 00:06:59,900
lotion.
Adventury, right.
138
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,900
Yeah.
And then we immediately that
139
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:07,400
evening took off and I think it
was eight hours, 7 hours,
140
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,400
whatever to the Lemaire channel
is the first place, right?
141
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,100
And that was the farthest point
that we were going to go to was
142
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:16,100
Lemaire Channel.
Those really special?
143
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:18,900
Yeah, we basically got it
another day on top of it.
144
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:21,900
Because yeah so quickly that
because on the front end we got
145
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,200
another day.
Yeah.
146
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:28,000
So we get there and then was it
rough on the way.
147
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:30,600
It was rough past Lemaire
Channel.
148
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,000
I forgot what the the ocean that
we cry out the ocean but the
149
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,900
area.
Yeah, and I think you hit the
150
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:40,100
same thing coming back where we
had like the 45-degree.
151
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,700
Sway it 4:30 in the morning when
he woke us up and it's like holy
152
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:48,400
shit, you know?
But we went to the mayor Channel
153
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:56,500
and it was We had signed up for
kayak and I would say, if you
154
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,200
go, you need to sign up for
kayak, but obviously, it's an
155
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,500
experience to get on the water
and I mean, I know doing a
156
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,500
zodiac is really cool and you
got it, you don't have to really
157
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,900
be strong there.
You know, they were and I'm sure
158
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:11,300
most of the other people sort of
play, it too old fat people like
159
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:14,400
me were you know, you get the
kayak and they kind of and most
160
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,100
of the people that are old and
well, zodiac.
161
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:20,100
As well as just a tugboat was
like, an engine on the back.
162
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:25,200
Yeah, but it's It gives you the
the ability to see all sorts of
163
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,400
stuff, far away, more than you
would in competency far away up
164
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,400
close.
All right, exactly whatever the
165
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,200
hell that thing, it does that
make sense?
166
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,700
We got really lucky with the
weather, to the weather was just
167
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:39,600
glad.
He's like, you would go out
168
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,500
there on the kayak.
It would just be glass.
169
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:42,600
Yeah, and they were, they were
in.
170
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,600
Yeah, because my biggest freak
out going there with sign of her
171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,100
kayak is gems.
Like I've no do them, do I
172
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:50,100
shouldn't.
And when we did ocean kayaking
173
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:54,900
you and I did like Ten years ago
in the Galapagos that was awful.
174
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,100
The waves were like they were
about a foot and a half.
175
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,500
Yeah, I remember that, which,
which is not that much, but if
176
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:06,700
you can, if you're not, if you
don't know what the hell you're
177
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:10,500
doing, and you go the wrong way,
that's that's huge.
178
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:13,200
So we they were open to in the
Galapagos these women were
179
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,500
close.
These were close.
180
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:16,900
We had a skirt, we had a full
dry suit.
181
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,300
You know, you had the whole
scope e thing over your head and
182
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:20,500
all that kind of happy
horseshit.
183
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:22,900
Yeah.
And everything was rubberized,
184
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:27,000
and they're just like, hey, if
your kayak flips over, you just
185
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
got to get out.
If you want to live.
186
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,900
You'll be fine, though.
I mean, you're, in a dry suit
187
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:32,800
anyway.
Yeah, it's like, yeah, you
188
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,200
wouldn't really be that cold.
This is your well, I think the
189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,700
waters in the 40s and if you put
your body in there for any
190
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,200
length of time, you might suffer
something.
191
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,300
But for what we had people like
jump off the Polar Plunge.
192
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:48,300
Yeah they did Polar Plunge.
Yeah I was not interested in
193
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:50,800
then I do not regret that to
this day.
194
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,200
Regret it me neither.
I do that in the pool.
195
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,400
I do it in the pool and
December.
196
00:09:56,300 --> 00:09:58,300
I do.
I do it in the pool in March
197
00:09:58,300 --> 00:09:59,300
when it opens.
Yeah.
198
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:05,300
And I probably do it a lot of
times, so but I guess maybe I
199
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:08,300
could have, would have should or
whatever, but with, but but it
200
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:12,500
was like when we did that first
thing, it was so funny because
201
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,900
we were I was with I was the one
of the Buddies as with and he
202
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:20,300
was he was a steer and we were
going to round and he was having
203
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:22,800
some trouble.
And I was having some trouble.
204
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:24,200
The first time we got in the
car.
205
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,200
Yeah.
But it was so cool because we
206
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,500
were going through literally Sea
of Ice.
207
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200
It was, I've never seen that
much ice and gone through it,
208
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,800
and you're using a paddle to,
and it's hitting your kayak and
209
00:10:37,808 --> 00:10:41,500
the water and you see like a
little piece of ice on the top.
210
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:45,700
But it's like it's a a foot in
diameter, you know?
211
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:49,900
I mean you see the surface is a
foot by two foot by the actual
212
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:50,600
Iceberg.
So weird.
213
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,700
All right and And it's like
three feet under the water.
214
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,100
Let's create an usually boil.
Unhittable boom, boom!
215
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:04,300
Boom, you know that was just
just wow and and that was the
216
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:07,000
first day, you know?
And I'm just thinking like oh my
217
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200
God, I got the kayak on glass, I
was scared to death coming on
218
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,300
the kayak.
I thought we were going to
219
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:15,200
drowned and and to add that to
it.
220
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:23,800
Thirty days before they'd had a
rogue wave kill three people.
221
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,500
Yeah.
And also the landing strip too
222
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,200
much people died in the plane
crash or something.
223
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,300
Oh it's so yeah.
That was a week before we went
224
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:32,800
there.
Oh I didn't I didn't know about
225
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,900
the ladies so I and I'm glad I
did I think somebody hit
226
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:38,200
somebody with a plane or
something what's a very short
227
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,700
landing strip and sure yeah yeah
and you got to stop really fast
228
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:45,800
and they don't have instruments.
They land by sight.
229
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:49,800
Right exactly so when the rear
end of the trip we got stuck
230
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,300
there but we won't go there.
I mean I don't want to talk
231
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,000
about the rear and yet let's
talk about some of the other
232
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
things we did.
For the Lemaire channel, is the
233
00:11:56,100 --> 00:12:00,600
second day after the Lemaire
channel was Danko Island.
234
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,300
Right?
Was Nicko, or Flanders by now,
235
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,800
it was finders Bay, right?
Find ourselves, the on the
236
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,000
second day and that was cold.
It was raining.
237
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,800
That was the cold rainy Sea of
Ice and I, and that was what I
238
00:12:13,808 --> 00:12:16,800
expected.
Was he credibly See whether the
239
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:21,100
but still you're in a full dry
suit, you got all your, you got
240
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:22,600
all your long underwear
underneath.
241
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,500
And so, the only thing I cold
for me was the hands and I had,
242
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:33,800
I had these, I was wearing ski,
got ya ski goggles, so that, and
243
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,200
you're, and you're like chin.
Yeah.
244
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,600
My face was freezing.
Your face is freezing and you're
245
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,300
in the tips of your fingers,
because I had those a gator on,
246
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:44,600
like, a neck gaiter.
Yeah, but it was for a child, so
247
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,400
it only looked like mine.
But the the beginning of my
248
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,400
channel.
So you think it's time to get a
249
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:52,200
baby might be time.
I think that one was that I had
250
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,900
like four of a man I had all
these Gators and all this other
251
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:57,000
crap that we had for when you
were a kid I was like I just
252
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,400
brought all that crap.
I gotta put that all but that
253
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,400
all think I'm still wearing
mom's ski pants from like 2009
254
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,200
or something.
But the day after that was it
255
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,100
wasn't the chinstrap Penguins.
It wasn't that day, was it?
256
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:14,900
Now, the emperor penguin was the
last day using her point.
257
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:16,500
Was it the next note?
Next to last.
258
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:19,100
And user point was the next one
that we missed.
259
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:22,300
And write that day.
We missed that we missed that
260
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:25,000
had to get up at like 6:00.
Yeah, really.
261
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Yeah, we don't want to make snow
angels today, I guess.
262
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,700
No, we missed that.
And then then we went to one
263
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:36,800
point and that's where we saw
might have been Nico Island and
264
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,000
that was where we climbed Nico
islands, where we climbed the
265
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,600
medicine steps, right?
It was about 5050, 200.
266
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,700
Yeah, you get to the top of that
little hairless.
267
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,400
Thing was, is there's all these
penguin roads and they're
268
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,500
walking up and down in groups of
four and five and they hold
269
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,500
their wings back and they
waddle.
270
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,900
And it's just the most comical
thing that you can see is to
271
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:01,200
watch Penguins do this.
And they all make these funny
272
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,300
noises.
We land and we're walking up the
273
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,800
steps because they cut steps
into the wall.
274
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,300
Yeah.
And there's three penguins lay
275
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:09,700
in there.
You're like, you're not supposed
276
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,900
to touch them.
One thing I would say that they
277
00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:17,500
were incredible about they
washed us, Cleaned our stuff for
278
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,500
we got on the boat the
disinfected it.
279
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:24,200
When we got on the craft, they
disinfect your boots, they just
280
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,900
before.
And after yeah, you're not
281
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:30,100
allowed to sit on any Island.
If there's any Wildlife at all.
282
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:32,500
That's there, which is all the
islands.
283
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,700
So, last untouched area.
It's the last untouched areas.
284
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:40,200
So if you sit, they wash you.
When you come back on of all
285
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,300
your because you don't want to
what you don't want to do.
286
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:45,200
Is you want to bring something
or you don't want to send
287
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,100
something.
They're mean, I was sitting
288
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:52,400
there one of the dinners, the
food sucked, but I was at one of
289
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,800
the dinners and the guy was
saying that they found a plastic
290
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,000
bottle.
Yeah, I remember that.
291
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,500
And they were telling a story
and I like yeah we were trying
292
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,100
to find the origin of the
plastic bottle to see how it got
293
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:08,800
here because we don't have those
and it was like this big deal
294
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,500
and you're like, what have like?
No this is like this is, this is
295
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:17,500
it, this is the clean.
Place and there's the in Arctic
296
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,800
agreement to between.
I think it's three or four
297
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,400
different countries to oh, it's
more than that, it was many.
298
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,300
It's like 6 to 10.
It wasn't that many.
299
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:27,800
It was like, I thought they were
a bunch of them will bitter.
300
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,300
It's a it's a gentleman gentle
persons agreement.
301
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:38,100
It's not a it's not just like
it's not it's not enforceable.
302
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:42,700
So if you want to hop on a plane
go down there, set up a tent and
303
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:45,700
spoil the area you can do it.
Yeah.
304
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:48,100
But your Violet, you're not
violated.
305
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,300
There's not a law down there
that says, your pilate.
306
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:53,200
What I like too is that if
you're more than, I think, it's
307
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,100
250 know, it's if it's more than
150 passengers on a boat, they
308
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:02,200
cannot set foot on land.
They can only go out and like
309
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,300
the zodiacs.
Let me know Zodiacs can't, which
310
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:07,200
is completely fair in my mind
like it.
311
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,500
Yeah, I feel like that should be
very similar for the Galapagos.
312
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,100
I would hope that the Galapagos
how you would, you would want.
313
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:15,000
I think it's going to happen at
some point there.
314
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:19,500
I don't know if gotten the same
amount of that's more touristy,
315
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:22,600
it's more.
Well, I remember we went it was
316
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:29,900
sort of like, Yeah, when we
went, it's sort of a little
317
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:32,500
different, you know?
Yeah, no.
318
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,000
We went to the clock goes.
We went to nine Islands on,
319
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:37,900
well, because it was a bigger
door than what we did in 2010.
320
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,700
Yeah, it's a lot bigger tour,
but they were, they were cleaner
321
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:45,700
and all that, but but the other
one we saw a lot more, but we'll
322
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:50,300
go back to that.
Anyway, the the after we hide it
323
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,800
to the top of that.
Well, before we hired that, let
324
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,700
me go back, Okay, yeah the first
night there I'm I was a will
325
00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:00,500
virgin I'd never seen a whale so
I mean never seen a whale in the
326
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:07,000
wild and they had this thing
like they had the bar open and
327
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
we went to the bar and it's
light out so it's like you get
328
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,400
no queue for when you're go
supposed to go to bed you know,
329
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,400
when it gets dark other than a
clock.
330
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:21,000
Yeah yeah.
But I don't I don't use that.
331
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,200
Newfangled technology.
Don't know what that is.
332
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,300
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not into that kind of
333
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:30,700
sundial in my pocket but we were
there until they said time for
334
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:36,200
you to go home and and that was
it 12:53.
335
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,800
I walked out on the deck.
And I have a, I have a video of
336
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:47,600
this whale that pops up.
And that noise when they do it.
337
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,000
And these are mostly, I think
almost all the ones we saw were
338
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,300
humpback.
Whales every single one, it was,
339
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,100
it was so cool because you're
and that's when they told me and
340
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:03,700
then he Dives And then I started
yelling at the whale come back,
341
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:05,800
come back, you gotta show
yourself again.
342
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,100
I call him names and then he
pops up again.
343
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:12,400
He was and then I think somebody
next to me goes oh it's the will
344
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,100
whisper because he came back and
I had it on very.
345
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:19,200
It was just for me, it was sort
of like, wow, that's a moment.
346
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,700
My life I'll never forget.
Even though we started drinking
347
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:26,800
it like 6:00 and here, it was
1:00 in the morning or to do
348
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,400
other things on a boat.
Yeah.
349
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,400
Really it?
What is?
350
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,300
I mean, that's a thing.
I know the very end.
351
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:36,500
I love the what Jim did with
organizing exercise classes, but
352
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:39,100
oh yeah, use facilitating the
exercise.
353
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,500
Let me know.
Now is really good.
354
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:42,000
That was good.
That was very cool.
355
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:44,500
But there's a, we want to g bay
after that.
356
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:49,000
And saw 30-plus probably come
back whales in this little Bay
357
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,700
that they were feeding on the
upwelling phytoplankton.
358
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:54,200
They were coming down.
I mean, that's the picture.
359
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,700
I want to use, not the map.
I want to use that picture
360
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,500
because I think we were sitting
there.
361
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:03,900
Across it's 5:30 in the
afternoon.
362
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,800
If that is like the sun, is it?
45 degrees, Bright, Beautiful,
363
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:14,200
Blue Sky, glass water.
And we were only supposed to be
364
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,500
there for like, two hours and we
sat in our kayaks for Polly for,
365
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:23,100
and it was just whales
everywhere.
366
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,400
And in one in this, where we
learned about the whales, like,
367
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,300
what they do, they the humpback,
whales dive and they dive the, I
368
00:19:29,308 --> 00:19:32,500
mean, the bays are You know,
thousand feet.
369
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:34,600
You think it's thousands?
My probably not beside.
370
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,700
It was like two to three
hundred, I see they dive down to
371
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:40,800
the bottom.
And then they swirl on the way
372
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,000
up because what they're the
reason they came into Grand Bay
373
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,200
is because there was a ton of
krill in the 11th girl done by
374
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Deloitte.
And and so in phytoplankton and
375
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,200
what they do is they swim around
in a circle to you.
376
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,100
You can actually look at the
water and you'll see like this,
377
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,700
what do you call them?
What is it when the water goes
378
00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:59,600
around in circles like Cyclone
or something?
379
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,200
But it's like, wow.
Cyclone.
380
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,900
But what is it on a water?
It's a Whirlpool looks like a
381
00:20:03,908 --> 00:20:06,700
little whirlpool and you start
to see that on the surface
382
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:09,600
that's where the whale is going
to come out of the water.
383
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:14,100
So if you're in the middle of
it, get the fuck out of the way.
384
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,600
But we were like 20 30 feet from
these over and over and over or
385
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,900
you know a third of a football
field and all over the place and
386
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:25,900
you see the first one.
You see the second one.
387
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:30,500
You see the third one and it was
just it was it was just crazy.
388
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,100
Crazy to see that many and even
the staff were like we never
389
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:38,400
seen this in a lot of those
people had been working in that
390
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,200
area in Antarctica for eight
years.
391
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,000
Yeah and that was the same with
the case.
392
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
The next day when we saw the
emperor penguin, the singular
393
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,600
nose to lose, do a penguin's, a
mom and a baby.
394
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:54,300
Yeah, they were like about 300
to 500 miles away from where
395
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:57,500
they usually a nest because you
need to go in need to walk
396
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,200
Inland and that's how they
called it a lost.
397
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,100
Penguin, you see all that fluid.
Bitch.
398
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:04,000
Yeah, of the, the march of the
Penguins and that's three to
399
00:21:04,008 --> 00:21:05,900
five hundred miles in word.
Yeah.
400
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:07,800
You see that you're like here
they are.
401
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,400
And that's on the literally
other side of the NRA.
402
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,800
That's the one over by
Australia.
403
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,300
We were the one over by South
America.
404
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:16,500
We really going to North right.
Yeah well no it's like what it
405
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:20,600
is is Australia's over here
which they did the second and we
406
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,100
you can get to an ARCA there but
that's on the other side.
407
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,700
And then and so the cool I mean,
what's the What did you learn
408
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:31,000
about penguins?
What did I learn about penguins?
409
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,700
I mean, the funny, the, the
emperor penguins don't come to
410
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,000
that area at all.
It's my only chance for app.
411
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,000
And then like the the other
Penguins, there's three there's
412
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,100
chin strap and two others that
we forgotten because it's, you
413
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:46,100
know, we're really education
zoologists Des, Des, Des until
414
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,800
disinclined or whatever is the
chin, strap is really cool.
415
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:52,500
Yeah, because they had this
little chin strap beard on them.
416
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:54,500
They all smell so bad.
We'll do.
417
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,100
That's the one thing that I
noticed that night. 95% of the
418
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:01,300
Penguins we saw were covered in
Pope.
419
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,400
Yeah.
And they live in the other he
420
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,500
won warm.
And you would see the pet when
421
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:07,900
we went to the last place and
climb the mountains that was the
422
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:10,000
coolest.
We did we climb to the top and
423
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,300
it may be on the circle.
As I were talking about, like
424
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,900
this track area where the chin
straps were, they made tracks
425
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:19,900
where they walked and they were
all Brown from where all the
426
00:22:19,908 --> 00:22:22,300
Penguins had crap walking up and
down the tracks.
427
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,500
And so they were just constantly
walking through this and you
428
00:22:25,508 --> 00:22:28,600
just see them and you're just
like, oh, this is the Yeah, it's
429
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,100
the poop Trail.
You follow poop Trail to the top
430
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,900
but then you see a penguin.
In one of the things you do is
431
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:38,100
you're supposed to say six feet.
Six to ten.
432
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:41,200
I think six ten feet away
because we were like you're
433
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,600
really conscious of, you know,
what they're going to do, where
434
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,400
they're going to go and all that
kind of stuff like that.
435
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,400
And they don't even, they don't
look at you.
436
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,000
They're not frightened of you.
There's nothing like that at
437
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,300
all.
So you're just sort of like, I
438
00:22:55,308 --> 00:22:57,800
mean, we saw we saw birdlife in
the kayak.
439
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,600
So a lot more there than
anywhere.
440
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,300
Wow, what were they called?
It wasn't a seagull.
441
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:04,800
It was a it looks like a
seagull.
442
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,100
Yeah.
But the big egg an osprey in
443
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:10,700
that was on awesome.
Well what an albatross when
444
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:12,400
anything the hell was an
albatross?
445
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:14,500
No.
No it's Ross isn't Gulf Coast.
446
00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:16,900
You're mixing the two definitely
not there.
447
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:18,700
Not there.
You can see those.
448
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:20,700
It wasn't a frigate.
Birdie there for your bird is
449
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:22,300
now big.
We saw those, you too.
450
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:25,900
Yeah.
But um, we'll put a link in the
451
00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:29,300
description for what a we saw
and what While Mike, we saw.
452
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,400
Yeah.
But the next day after that, so
453
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,000
we covered the a penguin, that
was the day after the yeah.
454
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,300
Straps.
And then we sat on the boat for
455
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:41,800
two days because, you know, we
yeah, after the a Yang, we well,
456
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,200
that's the cool thing is, we
came back after the emperor.
457
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,100
Penguin.
We pull in.
458
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:47,100
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
459
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:48,400
You're right.
Yeah.
460
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,900
Two days in the bay where we
began.
461
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,300
Yeah.
And that could phrase station.
462
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,900
Yeah.
The staff was phenomenal.
463
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,400
Yeah.
Like, filling that time they
464
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,800
were Very there was a dude.
They're from France.
465
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800
That was a former yoga teacher.
Yes.
466
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,000
And he put on a yoga class.
And I gotta say, I am fat lazy
467
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,700
and stupid, but I love that yoga
class.
468
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,800
You really don't want.
Yeah, I really did.
469
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,300
It was not beginner yoga either.
Yeah, it was not, it was, I was
470
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:22,100
like, I was like the, you know,
the after drunk, sweats, when
471
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:23,800
you're doing it, I was soaking
wet.
472
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,700
And there were funny, thing is,
is like it here.
473
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,500
I could just like, every time I
looked up like when I The
474
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:32,400
downward facing dog and the roll
over each your pig snout, or
475
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,400
whatever.
The fuck it was.
476
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,800
I would see people sitting on
the couches and they weren't
477
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:43,200
looking at anybody, but me, and
I'm like, holy day those funny.
478
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:45,100
Yeah.
But I mean when you see like
479
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,300
somebody that's really well, the
thing is, I tried.
480
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,600
No.
And that's all that matters.
481
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,400
Yeah, and I was just like, I was
struggling to dry so and and
482
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,800
also we had closed.
The bar, the previous nine.
483
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:02,400
Nights in a row.
So I had the sweats and so I'm
484
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,600
in there.
And I was just, like soaking
485
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,500
wet, you know, and dripping off
me and people are looking.
486
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:11,000
And there's literally water
falling off me, which is totally
487
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,800
disgusting.
You know, it's that, you know,
488
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,300
the fat.
I mean, I felt like the Chris
489
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:17,900
Farley drunken phase, you know,
we were like, holy shit.
490
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,200
You know, I live in a van down,
I didn't even have a van.
491
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Let's remember hearing here by
me, like, The noise has emanated
492
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,100
from behind me.
Yeah, I got a lot of attention
493
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:34,800
of other people looking at me,
the instructor came over and
494
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,800
like, held me up at one point.
Oh yeah.
495
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:38,700
Oh yeah.
It was like moving my limbs and
496
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:41,300
then he realized that they
wouldn't they don't do that.
497
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,600
Oh, you know, you need to put
your foot here, I go.
498
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,400
Yeah.
But then the rest of my body
499
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,200
won't do anything.
I know, hey, we work on that.
500
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,000
We work on that a lot.
You know, that's what I
501
00:25:53,008 --> 00:25:57,000
discovered hip abductors are in
the tightest muscle in your body
502
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:57,800
as well.
Oh yeah.
503
00:25:57,900 --> 00:25:59,200
Yeah.
Yeah, hands down.
504
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,400
That was another two days and
then we got back on the floor.
505
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,300
We got white, we got we got
stuck there for another two days
506
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:09,500
because he was supposed to leave
on the 21st and we're going to
507
00:26:09,508 --> 00:26:11,500
be home by the 23rd.
Yes.
508
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:15,100
And so we got back to fray Bay
and then what happened was is we
509
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:18,500
got fogged in and they came in
and they and was really cool
510
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:22,900
because they said well, they
told us when the fog clears will
511
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:26,600
be out, we've looked at some
extended weather reports.
512
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,900
We can't tell you this is Act.
But here it is Wednesday.
513
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:32,300
And we're supposed to go out
today.
514
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,400
It doesn't look like we're going
to go out until Friday.
515
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,700
Yeah.
And people are and then womb,
516
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:41,400
not everybody, but everybody
abided, then they were like,
517
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,800
okay yeah, we understand and
then we book that stuff.
518
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,500
And then amazing staff though,
helping everybody because the
519
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,600
Wi-Fi was very, very spotty.
Yeah, it worked.
520
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:54,100
They helped everybody book their
flights and things like it
521
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:57,200
seemed like it worked between
5:00 and 6:00 every day really
522
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,000
well, and Then it didn't, yeah,
we just sort of spotty like you
523
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,100
could you get a text?
And I get a text from two hours
524
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,400
ago and stuff like that.
I get some like, what?
525
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,800
I sent one text, maybe the
entire time that one through it.
526
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,600
Will the weird thing is, I
picked phone call the wife and I
527
00:27:13,608 --> 00:27:16,800
actually talked to her for
almost a half a minute and said,
528
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,200
please contact travel agent.
So as we're stuck here, can you
529
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,700
get them and tell them?
And in our agent actually went
530
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,100
to them and call them and they
booked everything they fixed it
531
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:29,300
all up.
And then we I'm back and I mean,
532
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:31,300
everything was cool.
We got there, we don't that.
533
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:33,800
I mean it's at the only sad
thing that I feel from that is
534
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:36,700
we're stuck on the boat.
A lot of people organized, a lot
535
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:39,100
of activities like our buddy was
with us Jim.
536
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,600
He he organizes exercise thing
and there's like eight or ten
537
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,500
people out there with you doing
lunges all over the boat on the
538
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:49,800
outside and they hated them but
they loved it, you know, because
539
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,300
it's activity and then we got
home, we did that we Flume, we
540
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:58,000
got home Christmas morning, I
mean, every flight, when You
541
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,500
figure that we're leaving those
four flights in a day and a half
542
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:05,600
and that was we left on a
Friday.
543
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,500
We got home on Sunday, Christmas
morning, we flew through
544
00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:12,700
Puntarenas.
We went to Santiago, we went to
545
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:17,400
Santiago overnight to Miami.
Miami in the morning, we got on
546
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,500
a flight and came to d.c. on
Christmas day and we didn't have
547
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:22,500
any problems with any flight.
Sweden, have any problems to
548
00:28:22,508 --> 00:28:23,900
check.
Luggage, we'd have any problems,
549
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:25,800
any nothing happened.
Nothing.
550
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Those, when the Polar Storm to
is You know, a lot of people in
551
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,700
southwest and they were all like
freaking out and we were like,
552
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,100
okay well if you get stuck we're
going to the beach in Miami.
553
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:39,100
But I think the idea that we may
be because we didn't care but it
554
00:28:39,108 --> 00:28:40,800
worked out really, really well
with Dan.
555
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,500
If we cared then we would have
gotten stuck.
556
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:49,000
Yeah, yeah.
So it was something that but I
557
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,800
don't think we can go back.
No, I don't need to go back.
558
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,700
I think I would go back on the
other side.
559
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:56,000
I would not go back on that side
or the emperor's or that would
560
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,700
be really cool if we got.
That would be so much.
561
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,700
I would do because it was just
crazy.
562
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:02,100
Amazing.
The other side has a station to
563
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:03,900
like the really, really big
station.
564
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:07,200
We want we have to go back there
but I got to tell you that we're
565
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,200
going to come to an end here.
We've been talking because this
566
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,300
is really exciting for us and
it's great to be back.
567
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:21,500
It's great to talk to you.
And this was an amazing, amazing
568
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:25,400
adventure and I think we have we
have to talk about.
569
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,400
We'll talk about Galapagos
probably after This and there's
570
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,800
quite a few others that we can
bring up and talk about that.
571
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,400
We're really cool and it's great
to be back.
572
00:29:35,700 --> 00:29:39,600

Hello and welcome back to
another episode of a record of
2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:05,000
my father.
We apologize.
3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,100
Because we've been away during
this holiday season, but now
4
00:00:09,100 --> 00:00:11,100
we're back and we're ready to
rumble.
5
00:00:11,300 --> 00:00:15,400
We've dealt with some illness
and some extensive travel, which
6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,300
we're actually about to go into
on this special episode about
7
00:00:18,300 --> 00:00:20,300
Antarctica, our recent
Adventure.
8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
What do you have to say about
the cold place down there?
9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,900
Oh my gosh, too many things.
A lot of really, really, really
10
00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:32,600
great times.
I kind of miss this, I miss the
11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,900
banter back and forth.
I have to say that jump in here
12
00:00:35,900 --> 00:00:40,200
for a moment and say it's this
this is something I really enjoy
13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,100
to just go over, but the trip to
Antarctica was one of those, you
14
00:00:46,100 --> 00:00:48,600
know, once-in-a-lifetime things
that you think about.
15
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:56,600
We had booked it originally last
October it got canceled boy, did
16
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,800
it like even before that right
was, that's for sure you're
17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,400
done.
First, I wasn't Years in the
18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,400
making of it was two years ago.
Three years ago, we started to
19
00:01:03,408 --> 00:01:05,400
talk about it.
Two years ago, we actually
20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,600
booked it.
Last October, we were a month
21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,800
away from it to happen and they
got canceled.
22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,700
Yeah.
And then what happened.
23
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:22,500
It went from it that got
canceled by rebooked again.
24
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:24,900
That was Encore Kyrie book to
get on Silver C's, which is
25
00:01:24,908 --> 00:01:29,300
supposed to happen.
December like 23rd or 24th and
26
00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:31,100
we're going to come A home on
the second or something.
27
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:33,200
Really cool like that.
We're going to be a New Year's
28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,800
New Year's Eve.
You're going to be popping
29
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,800
champagne and the bottom of the
world.
30
00:01:37,100 --> 00:01:42,100
Well, the day we were supposed
to go two hours before we got on
31
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:45,400
the flight.
Yeah, hey Hwang, go bang go,
32
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:47,500
good night.
Oh, they kicked us out and said
33
00:01:47,500 --> 00:01:51,800
f off well, but to Silver sees
credit.
34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,900
They gave us a free Cruise
anywhere in the world for 12
35
00:01:55,900 --> 00:01:58,800
days and we took them up on
that.
36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,400
Yeah, it was a summer.
They paid for everything, but we
37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,600
went to co-op coast and we'll
probably talk about that.
38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,400
I think that's a good another
episode.
39
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,200
It's yeah, yeah.
So let's not tell anybody
40
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,199
though.
They don't tell anybody about
41
00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:12,800
that was, it was great time
secret episode, but but any
42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,700
wedding down there.
Yeah, the amount of flights
43
00:02:14,700 --> 00:02:18,000
always he was three flights.
One of Miami, Miami to Santiago
44
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,100
Santiago to point out Arenas.
And then another one did George
45
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:24,100
is, I was four.
Yeah, South Georgia, South River
46
00:02:24,100 --> 00:02:25,500
dries.
It was called South Georgia,
47
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,600
Georgia, South Georgia, Island,
Georgia, right?
48
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,600
And we went to The Fray.
Station, which was the Chile
49
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,800
Chilean.
Air Base was an old Chilean Air
50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,600
Base but evidently it was real
secure and all those kind of
51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:39,600
stuff.
So you weren't supposed to take
52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,200
pictures or video or any crap
like that.
53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000
So of course we did.
But we were sort of
54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,800
surreptitious, you know.
It's like when you go in the
55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,300
Vatican and take the picture of
the Sistine Chapel ceiling or
56
00:02:50,308 --> 00:02:55,000
not supposed to and you're like,
yeah, Greece has that too.
57
00:02:55,100 --> 00:02:57,200
But like a parking lot, I pay
taxes.
58
00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:01,300
Maybe not here.
But I do in general.
59
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:03,800
Would hope that that would
suffice.
60
00:03:04,300 --> 00:03:05,400
Yeah.
There you go.
61
00:03:05,900 --> 00:03:09,200
I mean the overall I have to
come back to this.
62
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,400
At the end, is that it was we
hit so many things.
63
00:03:14,500 --> 00:03:17,600
I've never seen a whale before,
I mean on TV.
64
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,800
Yeah.
But I'd never seen one in a
65
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:25,100
while.
We'd never I mean, the
66
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:30,000
exhilaration that you got when
you were sitting in the boat and
67
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,300
we were in a, what a 14 foot 12?
Foot kayak, though in the kayak
68
00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:38,800
to person 1 and you have a whale
that pops out of the water like
69
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,700
10 feet from you.
Yeah.
70
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,500
Now it wasn't 10.
It was like 10 or 15 years like
71
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:44,700
39.
I was like 10 or 15.
72
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:46,800
Okay, I'm teaching you how to
lie.
73
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,600
I probably hos online.
You're just the guy that
74
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,800
measures things with football
field.
75
00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,300
Calls me a liar.
How far away was there anything?
76
00:03:57,300 --> 00:04:00,400
Well it was about is about a
quarter of a football field
77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:06,600
nonsensical measurements.
I remember that we were writing
78
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,800
and somebody said how far away
is it I said, oh, it's about a
79
00:04:09,808 --> 00:04:13,100
football field and a half and he
look at me, like, are you the
80
00:04:13,100 --> 00:04:15,500
stupidest fuck?
Call me her, they look to you.
81
00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,000
Like, what are you talking
about?
82
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,899
Ya know exactly what I was
talking about.
83
00:04:18,899 --> 00:04:20,600
They didn't.
Okay, I should have said I
84
00:04:20,608 --> 00:04:23,200
should have said football pit
but it wasn't about that.
85
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:26,400
It's about a football field and
a half two there and then four
86
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,800
and a half, football fields back
all the way to the parking lot
87
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:33,900
and they were like what like
what is that mean, but this is
88
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,300
200 yards to that place.
So they were looking at you or
89
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:40,700
150 yards to the bacon.
There's yeah, like you measure
90
00:04:40,700 --> 00:04:45,000
things in Coors Light cans or
something like the same form of
91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,600
measurement, maybe that's,
that's kind of a cool idea.
92
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,600
Because what I have to do is I
need the chords like the
93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,100
football field quotient.
Yeah, the ratio or The ratio so
94
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,300
we can figure out like, how many
Coors cans.
95
00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:00,300
Of course, like cans are there
in a meter, probably a lot like
96
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:02,800
the where did we go?
First brings back?
97
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,500
Trying to keep me on topical
back.
98
00:05:04,500 --> 00:05:09,100
Yeah, the seven-year-old is
going off at me seven and a half
99
00:05:09,100 --> 00:05:09,700
today.
Yeah.
100
00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:13,400
That when we talked about the
trip down or did we said we went
101
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,300
to Miami.
Yeah Santiago terrenas which is
102
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:23,200
the very what Puntarenas is a at
one point.
103
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,300
Said it was the farthest point,
south and Chile.
104
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:29,600
There's one more now than it's
on the Straits of Magellan are
105
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,200
so far now.
But yushka.
106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,600
Oh yeah.
It's like you should get her
107
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,500
something.
That's a you.
108
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:38,700
She goes farther south.
I believe still chilly.
109
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Yeah, it still is chilly the
book chili.
110
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
It's not the Argentina tip or I
think it is Argentina.
111
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,600
It's maybe it's Argentina.
Maybe that was the whole the
112
00:05:46,608 --> 00:05:49,300
whole issue.
But it was like, what?
113
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:52,200
Now I saw and we get to Point
the rain has and we're supposed
114
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,700
to sleep overnight there.
Air and then go the next morning
115
00:05:54,700 --> 00:05:58,000
and they're like, nope, whether
it's going to suck tomorrow, get
116
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,200
on the plane now.
So we got on the plane then
117
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,300
afternoon.
Like, as we landed in the
118
00:06:03,308 --> 00:06:07,300
morning, remember, I do remember
and we popped and we, and we get
119
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:10,100
on the plane and you fly over,
and they're like, put all your
120
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:12,900
stuff on before you get off.
And was, which was kind of silly
121
00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:18,700
because the weather was like,
35, 40 degrees 35 to 45 hours a
122
00:06:18,708 --> 00:06:20,600
day at night.
It was little bit colder, but it
123
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,300
was still.
Yeah, but the sun was up for
124
00:06:22,300 --> 00:06:25,900
most the day, any Yeah.
Yeah, rentals are like 20 times.
125
00:06:26,300 --> 00:06:27,900
Yeah.
It was light all the time
126
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:33,000
because it was sort of like It
was like what it is that around
127
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,000
as the sun's going down right at
the Horizon.
128
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,600
That's what it was all the time.
But no it's more like in the
129
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,100
morning before it rises because
you couldn't see the Sun.
130
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,800
So it's got that kind of light
Darkness out there.
131
00:06:43,900 --> 00:06:45,300
Yeah.
Messes with yeah.
132
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:49,000
It's like going to Iceland or
something there in the winter.
133
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,700
When it's our, I guess it's the
opposite of that.
134
00:06:50,700 --> 00:06:53,700
But we got to the base.
We boarded the cork machine,
135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
which is really cool.
What is it the adventure or
136
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,500
something like that?
The ocean adventure, I think
137
00:06:58,500 --> 00:06:59,900
lotion.
Adventury, right.
138
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,900
Yeah.
And then we immediately that
139
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:07,400
evening took off and I think it
was eight hours, 7 hours,
140
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,400
whatever to the Lemaire channel
is the first place, right?
141
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,100
And that was the farthest point
that we were going to go to was
142
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:16,100
Lemaire Channel.
Those really special?
143
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:18,900
Yeah, we basically got it
another day on top of it.
144
00:07:18,900 --> 00:07:21,900
Because yeah so quickly that
because on the front end we got
145
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,200
another day.
Yeah.
146
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:28,000
So we get there and then was it
rough on the way.
147
00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:30,600
It was rough past Lemaire
Channel.
148
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,000
I forgot what the the ocean that
we cry out the ocean but the
149
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,900
area.
Yeah, and I think you hit the
150
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:40,100
same thing coming back where we
had like the 45-degree.
151
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:44,700
Sway it 4:30 in the morning when
he woke us up and it's like holy
152
00:07:44,700 --> 00:07:48,400
shit, you know?
But we went to the mayor Channel
153
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:56,500
and it was We had signed up for
kayak and I would say, if you
154
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:59,200
go, you need to sign up for
kayak, but obviously, it's an
155
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,500
experience to get on the water
and I mean, I know doing a
156
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:05,500
zodiac is really cool and you
got it, you don't have to really
157
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:07,900
be strong there.
You know, they were and I'm sure
158
00:08:07,900 --> 00:08:11,300
most of the other people sort of
play, it too old fat people like
159
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:14,400
me were you know, you get the
kayak and they kind of and most
160
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,100
of the people that are old and
well, zodiac.
161
00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:20,100
As well as just a tugboat was
like, an engine on the back.
162
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:25,200
Yeah, but it's It gives you the
the ability to see all sorts of
163
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,400
stuff, far away, more than you
would in competency far away up
164
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,400
close.
All right, exactly whatever the
165
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,200
hell that thing, it does that
make sense?
166
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,700
We got really lucky with the
weather, to the weather was just
167
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:39,600
glad.
He's like, you would go out
168
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,500
there on the kayak.
It would just be glass.
169
00:08:41,500 --> 00:08:42,600
Yeah, and they were, they were
in.
170
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,600
Yeah, because my biggest freak
out going there with sign of her
171
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,100
kayak is gems.
Like I've no do them, do I
172
00:08:48,100 --> 00:08:50,100
shouldn't.
And when we did ocean kayaking
173
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:54,900
you and I did like Ten years ago
in the Galapagos that was awful.
174
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,100
The waves were like they were
about a foot and a half.
175
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:04,500
Yeah, I remember that, which,
which is not that much, but if
176
00:09:04,500 --> 00:09:06,700
you can, if you're not, if you
don't know what the hell you're
177
00:09:06,700 --> 00:09:10,500
doing, and you go the wrong way,
that's that's huge.
178
00:09:10,500 --> 00:09:13,200
So we they were open to in the
Galapagos these women were
179
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,500
close.
These were close.
180
00:09:14,500 --> 00:09:16,900
We had a skirt, we had a full
dry suit.
181
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,300
You know, you had the whole
scope e thing over your head and
182
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:20,500
all that kind of happy
horseshit.
183
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:22,900
Yeah.
And everything was rubberized,
184
00:09:22,900 --> 00:09:27,000
and they're just like, hey, if
your kayak flips over, you just
185
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
got to get out.
If you want to live.
186
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,900
You'll be fine, though.
I mean, you're, in a dry suit
187
00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:32,800
anyway.
Yeah, it's like, yeah, you
188
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,200
wouldn't really be that cold.
This is your well, I think the
189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,700
waters in the 40s and if you put
your body in there for any
190
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,200
length of time, you might suffer
something.
191
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,300
But for what we had people like
jump off the Polar Plunge.
192
00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:48,300
Yeah they did Polar Plunge.
Yeah I was not interested in
193
00:09:48,300 --> 00:09:50,800
then I do not regret that to
this day.
194
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,200
Regret it me neither.
I do that in the pool.
195
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,400
I do it in the pool and
December.
196
00:09:56,300 --> 00:09:58,300
I do.
I do it in the pool in March
197
00:09:58,300 --> 00:09:59,300
when it opens.
Yeah.
198
00:09:59,700 --> 00:10:05,300
And I probably do it a lot of
times, so but I guess maybe I
199
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:08,300
could have, would have should or
whatever, but with, but but it
200
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:12,500
was like when we did that first
thing, it was so funny because
201
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,900
we were I was with I was the one
of the Buddies as with and he
202
00:10:16,900 --> 00:10:20,300
was he was a steer and we were
going to round and he was having
203
00:10:20,300 --> 00:10:22,800
some trouble.
And I was having some trouble.
204
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:24,200
The first time we got in the
car.
205
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,200
Yeah.
But it was so cool because we
206
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:31,500
were going through literally Sea
of Ice.
207
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,200
It was, I've never seen that
much ice and gone through it,
208
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,800
and you're using a paddle to,
and it's hitting your kayak and
209
00:10:37,808 --> 00:10:41,500
the water and you see like a
little piece of ice on the top.
210
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:45,700
But it's like it's a a foot in
diameter, you know?
211
00:10:45,700 --> 00:10:49,900
I mean you see the surface is a
foot by two foot by the actual
212
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:50,600
Iceberg.
So weird.
213
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,700
All right and And it's like
three feet under the water.
214
00:10:55,100 --> 00:10:58,100
Let's create an usually boil.
Unhittable boom, boom!
215
00:10:58,100 --> 00:11:04,300
Boom, you know that was just
just wow and and that was the
216
00:11:04,300 --> 00:11:07,000
first day, you know?
And I'm just thinking like oh my
217
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,200
God, I got the kayak on glass, I
was scared to death coming on
218
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,300
the kayak.
I thought we were going to
219
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:15,200
drowned and and to add that to
it.
220
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:23,800
Thirty days before they'd had a
rogue wave kill three people.
221
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,500
Yeah.
And also the landing strip too
222
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:28,200
much people died in the plane
crash or something.
223
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,300
Oh it's so yeah.
That was a week before we went
224
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:32,800
there.
Oh I didn't I didn't know about
225
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,900
the ladies so I and I'm glad I
did I think somebody hit
226
00:11:35,900 --> 00:11:38,200
somebody with a plane or
something what's a very short
227
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,700
landing strip and sure yeah yeah
and you got to stop really fast
228
00:11:41,700 --> 00:11:45,800
and they don't have instruments.
They land by sight.
229
00:11:45,900 --> 00:11:49,800
Right exactly so when the rear
end of the trip we got stuck
230
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,300
there but we won't go there.
I mean I don't want to talk
231
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,000
about the rear and yet let's
talk about some of the other
232
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
things we did.
For the Lemaire channel, is the
233
00:11:56,100 --> 00:12:00,600
second day after the Lemaire
channel was Danko Island.
234
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,300
Right?
Was Nicko, or Flanders by now,
235
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,800
it was finders Bay, right?
Find ourselves, the on the
236
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,000
second day and that was cold.
It was raining.
237
00:12:09,100 --> 00:12:13,800
That was the cold rainy Sea of
Ice and I, and that was what I
238
00:12:13,808 --> 00:12:16,800
expected.
Was he credibly See whether the
239
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:21,100
but still you're in a full dry
suit, you got all your, you got
240
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:22,600
all your long underwear
underneath.
241
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,500
And so, the only thing I cold
for me was the hands and I had,
242
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:33,800
I had these, I was wearing ski,
got ya ski goggles, so that, and
243
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,200
you're, and you're like chin.
Yeah.
244
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,600
My face was freezing.
Your face is freezing and you're
245
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,300
in the tips of your fingers,
because I had those a gator on,
246
00:12:42,300 --> 00:12:44,600
like, a neck gaiter.
Yeah, but it was for a child, so
247
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,400
it only looked like mine.
But the the beginning of my
248
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,400
channel.
So you think it's time to get a
249
00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:52,200
baby might be time.
I think that one was that I had
250
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,900
like four of a man I had all
these Gators and all this other
251
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:57,000
crap that we had for when you
were a kid I was like I just
252
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,400
brought all that crap.
I gotta put that all but that
253
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,400
all think I'm still wearing
mom's ski pants from like 2009
254
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:08,200
or something.
But the day after that was it
255
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,100
wasn't the chinstrap Penguins.
It wasn't that day, was it?
256
00:13:11,100 --> 00:13:14,900
Now, the emperor penguin was the
last day using her point.
257
00:13:14,900 --> 00:13:16,500
Was it the next note?
Next to last.
258
00:13:16,500 --> 00:13:19,100
And user point was the next one
that we missed.
259
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:22,300
And write that day.
We missed that we missed that
260
00:13:22,300 --> 00:13:25,000
had to get up at like 6:00.
Yeah, really.
261
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Yeah, we don't want to make snow
angels today, I guess.
262
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,700
No, we missed that.
And then then we went to one
263
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:36,800
point and that's where we saw
might have been Nico Island and
264
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,000
that was where we climbed Nico
islands, where we climbed the
265
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,600
medicine steps, right?
It was about 5050, 200.
266
00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:45,700
Yeah, you get to the top of that
little hairless.
267
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,400
Thing was, is there's all these
penguin roads and they're
268
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,500
walking up and down in groups of
four and five and they hold
269
00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:55,500
their wings back and they
waddle.
270
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,900
And it's just the most comical
thing that you can see is to
271
00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:01,200
watch Penguins do this.
And they all make these funny
272
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,300
noises.
We land and we're walking up the
273
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,800
steps because they cut steps
into the wall.
274
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,300
Yeah.
And there's three penguins lay
275
00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:09,700
in there.
You're like, you're not supposed
276
00:14:09,700 --> 00:14:12,900
to touch them.
One thing I would say that they
277
00:14:12,900 --> 00:14:17,500
were incredible about they
washed us, Cleaned our stuff for
278
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,500
we got on the boat the
disinfected it.
279
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:24,200
When we got on the craft, they
disinfect your boots, they just
280
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,900
before.
And after yeah, you're not
281
00:14:25,900 --> 00:14:30,100
allowed to sit on any Island.
If there's any Wildlife at all.
282
00:14:30,100 --> 00:14:32,500
That's there, which is all the
islands.
283
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:35,700
So, last untouched area.
It's the last untouched areas.
284
00:14:35,700 --> 00:14:40,200
So if you sit, they wash you.
When you come back on of all
285
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,300
your because you don't want to
what you don't want to do.
286
00:14:42,300 --> 00:14:45,200
Is you want to bring something
or you don't want to send
287
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,100
something.
They're mean, I was sitting
288
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:52,400
there one of the dinners, the
food sucked, but I was at one of
289
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,800
the dinners and the guy was
saying that they found a plastic
290
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,000
bottle.
Yeah, I remember that.
291
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,500
And they were telling a story
and I like yeah we were trying
292
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,100
to find the origin of the
plastic bottle to see how it got
293
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:08,800
here because we don't have those
and it was like this big deal
294
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,500
and you're like, what have like?
No this is like this is, this is
295
00:15:14,500 --> 00:15:17,500
it, this is the clean.
Place and there's the in Arctic
296
00:15:17,500 --> 00:15:19,800
agreement to between.
I think it's three or four
297
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,400
different countries to oh, it's
more than that, it was many.
298
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,300
It's like 6 to 10.
It wasn't that many.
299
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:27,800
It was like, I thought they were
a bunch of them will bitter.
300
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:32,300
It's a it's a gentleman gentle
persons agreement.
301
00:15:32,300 --> 00:15:38,100
It's not a it's not just like
it's not it's not enforceable.
302
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:42,700
So if you want to hop on a plane
go down there, set up a tent and
303
00:15:42,700 --> 00:15:45,700
spoil the area you can do it.
Yeah.
304
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:48,100
But your Violet, you're not
violated.
305
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,300
There's not a law down there
that says, your pilate.
306
00:15:50,300 --> 00:15:53,200
What I like too is that if
you're more than, I think, it's
307
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,100
250 know, it's if it's more than
150 passengers on a boat, they
308
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:02,200
cannot set foot on land.
They can only go out and like
309
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,300
the zodiacs.
Let me know Zodiacs can't, which
310
00:16:04,300 --> 00:16:07,200
is completely fair in my mind
like it.
311
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:10,500
Yeah, I feel like that should be
very similar for the Galapagos.
312
00:16:10,700 --> 00:16:13,100
I would hope that the Galapagos
how you would, you would want.
313
00:16:13,100 --> 00:16:15,000
I think it's going to happen at
some point there.
314
00:16:15,100 --> 00:16:19,500
I don't know if gotten the same
amount of that's more touristy,
315
00:16:19,500 --> 00:16:22,600
it's more.
Well, I remember we went it was
316
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:29,900
sort of like, Yeah, when we
went, it's sort of a little
317
00:16:29,900 --> 00:16:32,500
different, you know?
Yeah, no.
318
00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:35,000
We went to the clock goes.
We went to nine Islands on,
319
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:37,900
well, because it was a bigger
door than what we did in 2010.
320
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,700
Yeah, it's a lot bigger tour,
but they were, they were cleaner
321
00:16:40,700 --> 00:16:45,700
and all that, but but the other
one we saw a lot more, but we'll
322
00:16:45,700 --> 00:16:50,300
go back to that.
Anyway, the the after we hide it
323
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:52,800
to the top of that.
Well, before we hired that, let
324
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,700
me go back, Okay, yeah the first
night there I'm I was a will
325
00:16:56,700 --> 00:17:00,500
virgin I'd never seen a whale so
I mean never seen a whale in the
326
00:17:00,500 --> 00:17:07,000
wild and they had this thing
like they had the bar open and
327
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,000
we went to the bar and it's
light out so it's like you get
328
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,400
no queue for when you're go
supposed to go to bed you know,
329
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,400
when it gets dark other than a
clock.
330
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:21,000
Yeah yeah.
But I don't I don't use that.
331
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,200
Newfangled technology.
Don't know what that is.
332
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,300
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not into that kind of
333
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:30,700
sundial in my pocket but we were
there until they said time for
334
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:36,200
you to go home and and that was
it 12:53.
335
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,800
I walked out on the deck.
And I have a, I have a video of
336
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:47,600
this whale that pops up.
And that noise when they do it.
337
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,000
And these are mostly, I think
almost all the ones we saw were
338
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,300
humpback.
Whales every single one, it was,
339
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:58,100
it was so cool because you're
and that's when they told me and
340
00:17:58,100 --> 00:18:03,700
then he Dives And then I started
yelling at the whale come back,
341
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:05,800
come back, you gotta show
yourself again.
342
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,100
I call him names and then he
pops up again.
343
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:12,400
He was and then I think somebody
next to me goes oh it's the will
344
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,100
whisper because he came back and
I had it on very.
345
00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:19,200
It was just for me, it was sort
of like, wow, that's a moment.
346
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,700
My life I'll never forget.
Even though we started drinking
347
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:26,800
it like 6:00 and here, it was
1:00 in the morning or to do
348
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,400
other things on a boat.
Yeah.
349
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,400
Really it?
What is?
350
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,300
I mean, that's a thing.
I know the very end.
351
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:36,500
I love the what Jim did with
organizing exercise classes, but
352
00:18:36,900 --> 00:18:39,100
oh yeah, use facilitating the
exercise.
353
00:18:39,100 --> 00:18:40,500
Let me know.
Now is really good.
354
00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:42,000
That was good.
That was very cool.
355
00:18:42,100 --> 00:18:44,500
But there's a, we want to g bay
after that.
356
00:18:44,500 --> 00:18:49,000
And saw 30-plus probably come
back whales in this little Bay
357
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,700
that they were feeding on the
upwelling phytoplankton.
358
00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:54,200
They were coming down.
I mean, that's the picture.
359
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,700
I want to use, not the map.
I want to use that picture
360
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,500
because I think we were sitting
there.
361
00:19:00,700 --> 00:19:03,900
Across it's 5:30 in the
afternoon.
362
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,800
If that is like the sun, is it?
45 degrees, Bright, Beautiful,
363
00:19:08,900 --> 00:19:14,200
Blue Sky, glass water.
And we were only supposed to be
364
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,500
there for like, two hours and we
sat in our kayaks for Polly for,
365
00:19:19,300 --> 00:19:23,100
and it was just whales
everywhere.
366
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:25,400
And in one in this, where we
learned about the whales, like,
367
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,300
what they do, they the humpback,
whales dive and they dive the, I
368
00:19:29,308 --> 00:19:32,500
mean, the bays are You know,
thousand feet.
369
00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:34,600
You think it's thousands?
My probably not beside.
370
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,700
It was like two to three
hundred, I see they dive down to
371
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:40,800
the bottom.
And then they swirl on the way
372
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,000
up because what they're the
reason they came into Grand Bay
373
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,200
is because there was a ton of
krill in the 11th girl done by
374
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Deloitte.
And and so in phytoplankton and
375
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,200
what they do is they swim around
in a circle to you.
376
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,100
You can actually look at the
water and you'll see like this,
377
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,700
what do you call them?
What is it when the water goes
378
00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:59,600
around in circles like Cyclone
or something?
379
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,200
But it's like, wow.
Cyclone.
380
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,900
But what is it on a water?
It's a Whirlpool looks like a
381
00:20:03,908 --> 00:20:06,700
little whirlpool and you start
to see that on the surface
382
00:20:06,900 --> 00:20:09,600
that's where the whale is going
to come out of the water.
383
00:20:09,900 --> 00:20:14,100
So if you're in the middle of
it, get the fuck out of the way.
384
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,600
But we were like 20 30 feet from
these over and over and over or
385
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:23,900
you know a third of a football
field and all over the place and
386
00:20:24,100 --> 00:20:25,900
you see the first one.
You see the second one.
387
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:30,500
You see the third one and it was
just it was it was just crazy.
388
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,100
Crazy to see that many and even
the staff were like we never
389
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:38,400
seen this in a lot of those
people had been working in that
390
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,200
area in Antarctica for eight
years.
391
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,000
Yeah and that was the same with
the case.
392
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
The next day when we saw the
emperor penguin, the singular
393
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,600
nose to lose, do a penguin's, a
mom and a baby.
394
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:54,300
Yeah, they were like about 300
to 500 miles away from where
395
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:57,500
they usually a nest because you
need to go in need to walk
396
00:20:57,500 --> 00:20:59,200
Inland and that's how they
called it a lost.
397
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,100
Penguin, you see all that fluid.
Bitch.
398
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:04,000
Yeah, of the, the march of the
Penguins and that's three to
399
00:21:04,008 --> 00:21:05,900
five hundred miles in word.
Yeah.
400
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:07,800
You see that you're like here
they are.
401
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,400
And that's on the literally
other side of the NRA.
402
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:11,800
That's the one over by
Australia.
403
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:13,300
We were the one over by South
America.
404
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:16,500
We really going to North right.
Yeah well no it's like what it
405
00:21:16,500 --> 00:21:20,600
is is Australia's over here
which they did the second and we
406
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,100
you can get to an ARCA there but
that's on the other side.
407
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,700
And then and so the cool I mean,
what's the What did you learn
408
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:31,000
about penguins?
What did I learn about penguins?
409
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,700
I mean, the funny, the, the
emperor penguins don't come to
410
00:21:33,700 --> 00:21:36,000
that area at all.
It's my only chance for app.
411
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,000
And then like the the other
Penguins, there's three there's
412
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,100
chin strap and two others that
we forgotten because it's, you
413
00:21:42,100 --> 00:21:46,100
know, we're really education
zoologists Des, Des, Des until
414
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,800
disinclined or whatever is the
chin, strap is really cool.
415
00:21:48,900 --> 00:21:52,500
Yeah, because they had this
little chin strap beard on them.
416
00:21:52,500 --> 00:21:54,500
They all smell so bad.
We'll do.
417
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,100
That's the one thing that I
noticed that night. 95% of the
418
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:01,300
Penguins we saw were covered in
Pope.
419
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:03,400
Yeah.
And they live in the other he
420
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,500
won warm.
And you would see the pet when
421
00:22:05,500 --> 00:22:07,900
we went to the last place and
climb the mountains that was the
422
00:22:07,900 --> 00:22:10,000
coolest.
We did we climb to the top and
423
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,300
it may be on the circle.
As I were talking about, like
424
00:22:12,300 --> 00:22:15,900
this track area where the chin
straps were, they made tracks
425
00:22:15,900 --> 00:22:19,900
where they walked and they were
all Brown from where all the
426
00:22:19,908 --> 00:22:22,300
Penguins had crap walking up and
down the tracks.
427
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,500
And so they were just constantly
walking through this and you
428
00:22:25,508 --> 00:22:28,600
just see them and you're just
like, oh, this is the Yeah, it's
429
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,100
the poop Trail.
You follow poop Trail to the top
430
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,900
but then you see a penguin.
In one of the things you do is
431
00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:38,100
you're supposed to say six feet.
Six to ten.
432
00:22:38,100 --> 00:22:41,200
I think six ten feet away
because we were like you're
433
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,600
really conscious of, you know,
what they're going to do, where
434
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,400
they're going to go and all that
kind of stuff like that.
435
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,400
And they don't even, they don't
look at you.
436
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,000
They're not frightened of you.
There's nothing like that at
437
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,300
all.
So you're just sort of like, I
438
00:22:55,308 --> 00:22:57,800
mean, we saw we saw birdlife in
the kayak.
439
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,600
So a lot more there than
anywhere.
440
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,300
Wow, what were they called?
It wasn't a seagull.
441
00:23:02,700 --> 00:23:04,800
It was a it looks like a
seagull.
442
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,100
Yeah.
But the big egg an osprey in
443
00:23:08,100 --> 00:23:10,700
that was on awesome.
Well what an albatross when
444
00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:12,400
anything the hell was an
albatross?
445
00:23:12,500 --> 00:23:14,500
No.
No it's Ross isn't Gulf Coast.
446
00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:16,900
You're mixing the two definitely
not there.
447
00:23:17,300 --> 00:23:18,700
Not there.
You can see those.
448
00:23:18,700 --> 00:23:20,700
It wasn't a frigate.
Birdie there for your bird is
449
00:23:20,700 --> 00:23:22,300
now big.
We saw those, you too.
450
00:23:23,100 --> 00:23:25,900
Yeah.
But um, we'll put a link in the
451
00:23:25,900 --> 00:23:29,300
description for what a we saw
and what While Mike, we saw.
452
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,400
Yeah.
But the next day after that, so
453
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,000
we covered the a penguin, that
was the day after the yeah.
454
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,300
Straps.
And then we sat on the boat for
455
00:23:37,300 --> 00:23:41,800
two days because, you know, we
yeah, after the a Yang, we well,
456
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,200
that's the cool thing is, we
came back after the emperor.
457
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,100
Penguin.
We pull in.
458
00:23:46,100 --> 00:23:47,100
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
459
00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:48,400
You're right.
Yeah.
460
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,900
Two days in the bay where we
began.
461
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,300
Yeah.
And that could phrase station.
462
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,900
Yeah.
The staff was phenomenal.
463
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,400
Yeah.
Like, filling that time they
464
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,800
were Very there was a dude.
They're from France.
465
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,800
That was a former yoga teacher.
Yes.
466
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,000
And he put on a yoga class.
And I gotta say, I am fat lazy
467
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,700
and stupid, but I love that yoga
class.
468
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,800
You really don't want.
Yeah, I really did.
469
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,300
It was not beginner yoga either.
Yeah, it was not, it was, I was
470
00:24:17,300 --> 00:24:22,100
like, I was like the, you know,
the after drunk, sweats, when
471
00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:23,800
you're doing it, I was soaking
wet.
472
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,700
And there were funny, thing is,
is like it here.
473
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:28,500
I could just like, every time I
looked up like when I The
474
00:24:28,500 --> 00:24:32,400
downward facing dog and the roll
over each your pig snout, or
475
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:33,400
whatever.
The fuck it was.
476
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,800
I would see people sitting on
the couches and they weren't
477
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:43,200
looking at anybody, but me, and
I'm like, holy day those funny.
478
00:24:43,300 --> 00:24:45,100
Yeah.
But I mean when you see like
479
00:24:45,100 --> 00:24:47,300
somebody that's really well, the
thing is, I tried.
480
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:48,600
No.
And that's all that matters.
481
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:53,400
Yeah, and I was just like, I was
struggling to dry so and and
482
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,800
also we had closed.
The bar, the previous nine.
483
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:02,400
Nights in a row.
So I had the sweats and so I'm
484
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,600
in there.
And I was just, like soaking
485
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,500
wet, you know, and dripping off
me and people are looking.
486
00:25:08,500 --> 00:25:11,000
And there's literally water
falling off me, which is totally
487
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,800
disgusting.
You know, it's that, you know,
488
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,300
the fat.
I mean, I felt like the Chris
489
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:17,900
Farley drunken phase, you know,
we were like, holy shit.
490
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,200
You know, I live in a van down,
I didn't even have a van.
491
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:30,000
Let's remember hearing here by
me, like, The noise has emanated
492
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,100
from behind me.
Yeah, I got a lot of attention
493
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:34,800
of other people looking at me,
the instructor came over and
494
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,800
like, held me up at one point.
Oh yeah.
495
00:25:36,900 --> 00:25:38,700
Oh yeah.
It was like moving my limbs and
496
00:25:38,700 --> 00:25:41,300
then he realized that they
wouldn't they don't do that.
497
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,600
Oh, you know, you need to put
your foot here, I go.
498
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,400
Yeah.
But then the rest of my body
499
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,200
won't do anything.
I know, hey, we work on that.
500
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,000
We work on that a lot.
You know, that's what I
501
00:25:53,008 --> 00:25:57,000
discovered hip abductors are in
the tightest muscle in your body
502
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:57,800
as well.
Oh yeah.
503
00:25:57,900 --> 00:25:59,200
Yeah.
Yeah, hands down.
504
00:25:59,300 --> 00:26:01,400
That was another two days and
then we got back on the floor.
505
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,300
We got white, we got we got
stuck there for another two days
506
00:26:04,300 --> 00:26:09,500
because he was supposed to leave
on the 21st and we're going to
507
00:26:09,508 --> 00:26:11,500
be home by the 23rd.
Yes.
508
00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:15,100
And so we got back to fray Bay
and then what happened was is we
509
00:26:15,100 --> 00:26:18,500
got fogged in and they came in
and they and was really cool
510
00:26:18,500 --> 00:26:22,900
because they said well, they
told us when the fog clears will
511
00:26:22,900 --> 00:26:26,600
be out, we've looked at some
extended weather reports.
512
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,900
We can't tell you this is Act.
But here it is Wednesday.
513
00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:32,300
And we're supposed to go out
today.
514
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,400
It doesn't look like we're going
to go out until Friday.
515
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,700
Yeah.
And people are and then womb,
516
00:26:38,700 --> 00:26:41,400
not everybody, but everybody
abided, then they were like,
517
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,800
okay yeah, we understand and
then we book that stuff.
518
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,500
And then amazing staff though,
helping everybody because the
519
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:51,600
Wi-Fi was very, very spotty.
Yeah, it worked.
520
00:26:51,700 --> 00:26:54,100
They helped everybody book their
flights and things like it
521
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:57,200
seemed like it worked between
5:00 and 6:00 every day really
522
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:02,000
well, and Then it didn't, yeah,
we just sort of spotty like you
523
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,100
could you get a text?
And I get a text from two hours
524
00:27:05,100 --> 00:27:07,400
ago and stuff like that.
I get some like, what?
525
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,800
I sent one text, maybe the
entire time that one through it.
526
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,600
Will the weird thing is, I
picked phone call the wife and I
527
00:27:13,608 --> 00:27:16,800
actually talked to her for
almost a half a minute and said,
528
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,200
please contact travel agent.
So as we're stuck here, can you
529
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,700
get them and tell them?
And in our agent actually went
530
00:27:24,700 --> 00:27:27,100
to them and call them and they
booked everything they fixed it
531
00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:29,300
all up.
And then we I'm back and I mean,
532
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:31,300
everything was cool.
We got there, we don't that.
533
00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:33,800
I mean it's at the only sad
thing that I feel from that is
534
00:27:34,100 --> 00:27:36,700
we're stuck on the boat.
A lot of people organized, a lot
535
00:27:36,700 --> 00:27:39,100
of activities like our buddy was
with us Jim.
536
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,600
He he organizes exercise thing
and there's like eight or ten
537
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:46,500
people out there with you doing
lunges all over the boat on the
538
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:49,800
outside and they hated them but
they loved it, you know, because
539
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:54,300
it's activity and then we got
home, we did that we Flume, we
540
00:27:54,300 --> 00:27:58,000
got home Christmas morning, I
mean, every flight, when You
541
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,500
figure that we're leaving those
four flights in a day and a half
542
00:28:03,500 --> 00:28:05,600
and that was we left on a
Friday.
543
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,500
We got home on Sunday, Christmas
morning, we flew through
544
00:28:09,500 --> 00:28:12,700
Puntarenas.
We went to Santiago, we went to
545
00:28:12,700 --> 00:28:17,400
Santiago overnight to Miami.
Miami in the morning, we got on
546
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,500
a flight and came to d.c. on
Christmas day and we didn't have
547
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:22,500
any problems with any flight.
Sweden, have any problems to
548
00:28:22,508 --> 00:28:23,900
check.
Luggage, we'd have any problems,
549
00:28:23,900 --> 00:28:25,800
any nothing happened.
Nothing.
550
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Those, when the Polar Storm to
is You know, a lot of people in
551
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,700
southwest and they were all like
freaking out and we were like,
552
00:28:32,700 --> 00:28:35,100
okay well if you get stuck we're
going to the beach in Miami.
553
00:28:35,100 --> 00:28:39,100
But I think the idea that we may
be because we didn't care but it
554
00:28:39,108 --> 00:28:40,800
worked out really, really well
with Dan.
555
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,500
If we cared then we would have
gotten stuck.
556
00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:49,000
Yeah, yeah.
So it was something that but I
557
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,800
don't think we can go back.
No, I don't need to go back.
558
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,700
I think I would go back on the
other side.
559
00:28:53,700 --> 00:28:56,000
I would not go back on that side
or the emperor's or that would
560
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,700
be really cool if we got.
That would be so much.
561
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,700
I would do because it was just
crazy.
562
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:02,100
Amazing.
The other side has a station to
563
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:03,900
like the really, really big
station.
564
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:07,200
We want we have to go back there
but I got to tell you that we're
565
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,200
going to come to an end here.
We've been talking because this
566
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,300
is really exciting for us and
it's great to be back.
567
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:21,500
It's great to talk to you.
And this was an amazing, amazing
568
00:29:21,500 --> 00:29:25,400
adventure and I think we have we

00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,400
We'll talk about Galapagos
probably after This and there's
570
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,800
quite a few others that we can
bring up and talk about that.
571
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,400
We're really cool and it's great
to be back.
