It was actually an amazing effort. We're down here doing research and it was a last minute
00:07
thought to throw a cutting knife and a pole in. So we were a limited crew and we were
00:13
limited gear. We were quite lucky to have Benny up in the front there and he was doing
00:17
the job of about three people.
00:19
Certainly some moments where we thought, "Oh, what if this animal takes off?" We're sort
00:22
of half attached to the boat and you're trying to cut this line and have the line in your
00:26
other hand and keep some tension on it so you can get a good bit of purchase on it.
00:29
Fortunately, Andy put us in a great position to achieve the final cut and it was great.
00:34
Knowing that it was probably the last chance to get this animal free, no one else is going
00:38
to see that from here. I think it's going to bypass Tasmania and heading towards the
00:42
ice. So to be able to one, stumble across it, but to actually see that last bit of gear
00:47
go off it was a huge relief and a pretty special day.
00:51
Yeah!

Woo!
