Ocean fisherman, on-board surgeons, rescue pilots from the French Navy and icebreakers pilots: every single day they work, they stand up to the challenges of the high seas. Through storms, ice, ferocious winds, freezing cold and physical exhaustion, these men and women work, repair, fish and save lives. Day and night, despite the dangers and the accidents, they battle, on unbeaten by the angry oceans. Totally embedded with them, The Heroes of the high seas goes right to the heart of daily life in these extraordinary situations. In each of the jobs something different is at stake. Each of the situations has its own inherent dangers. The heroes of these films take us into their work, sharing their daily challenges with us. Challenges in which the working conditions and the constant dangers and risks push them to the limit.

00:00Four crews on board for a season at sea.
00:20Four tough jobs with a strong identity and boundless commitment.
00:25These sailors' daily life is intrepid.
00:28They're on the alert, both day and night.
00:31Watch out!
00:36He's coming down.
00:39Careful!
00:44Silence!
00:48Their differences belie their common destiny,
00:51to be alone at sea, adventurous in the same territory.
00:56The next boat along is going to get lost in the fog.
00:59The next
01:02noon
01:05The zoo
01:07The
01:101920
01:12To be تم
02:42Tufik, the boatswain, has already earned respect from everyone, including Alex, the captain's nephew.
02:49Up on deck, the men fear those pieces of steel weighing several tons, which might take off
03:07an arm or a leg at any moment.
03:39The sailing in sea is frozen half the year.
03:41Only a fleet of icebreakers makes it possible to venture here in winter and maintain a navigable
03:46commercial route.
03:49No captain wants to risk finishing up in these waters, carried along by the current and drifting
03:54ice flows.
03:55Hello Tim, it's Christian.
04:01How are you doing there?
04:10Nothing normal otherwise.
04:11Boat's moving forward.
04:12Is everything okay?
04:19This passage we're in isn't bad.
04:23This is the way all the boats come.
04:26So we can't go too far away from this passage.
04:32The Miramar is heading towards Tornio.
04:36It's following the Sisu.
04:37It's following the Sisu, the icebreaker, level with Coca-Cola.
04:41That's what we thought.
04:44Bring them up to the Gap.
04:45The transpine is going towards Ulu.
04:48We're going to let it carry on alone.
04:52And we'll come with the Miramar.
04:55Have a good day.
05:13If you want to go to the Conteo, Christian, the captain, and his two pilots, young Roy
05:18and veteran Jamo, take turns keeping watch from their glass tower.
05:26Maneuvering is delicate.
05:28At any time, given their powerful motors and the density of the ice, these steel monsters
05:33can crash into each other.
05:38Dr. Jose Manuel, an emergency care specialist, set up the Juan de la Casa hospital ship.
05:52He likes this active life, constantly renewing.
05:56He has sworn to bring help and to support to sailors cut off in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
06:08Leave some slack.
06:10Leave some slack.
06:11Use the movement.
06:24Ah, look.
06:25The mobile doctor.
06:29What happened?
06:32Ah, nothing.
06:33It's nothing much.
06:38We might as well clean it while we're here.
06:41Yeah, we need to keep an eye on it.
06:43No, it's nothing.
06:45Of course not.
06:46And how do you get these other stars?
06:47Those are all burns.
06:48That one too?
06:49All of them.
06:50Take care.
06:51You're a good operator.
06:52And the motor is always hot.
06:53So much fuss.
06:54It's because you can't see it properly.
06:56No, no, no, no.
06:57No, no, no.
06:58No, no, no.
06:59No, no, no.
07:00No, no.
07:01No, no, no.
07:02No, no, no.
07:03No, no, no.
07:04No, no.
07:05No, no, no.
07:06It's because you can't see it properly.
07:08You can't see it well.
07:10That burn doesn't look so great.
07:13Such a huge dressing for such a little scratch.
07:20Listen to what Lola says.
07:22It needs treating.
07:24Look at the state of my finger.
07:27It doesn't bother me.
07:29No worries.
07:30We're used to it.
07:32Let me explain something.
07:36Once, four or five years ago, a sailor called me and said,
07:42my elbow is hurting a bit.
07:44Nothing serious.
07:46It's just a bit red.
07:48I told him I'd have him come to the ship for me to see it and clean it up.
07:54No way.
07:55He was just like you.
07:57Four or five days later, we had to evacuate that man by helicopter.
08:01And it was so badly infected, we nearly amputated it.
08:05All's as it should be in the machine.
08:08The curves are coherent.
08:09I'll put the handle back on.
08:11It seems to be pitching a fair bit.
08:18Stretchers coming up off the deck.
08:20To the left.
08:21Gently.
08:22Five meters.
08:23Well, to the left now.
08:24Left gently.
08:25Four.
08:26Left gently.
08:27Three.
08:28Still left.
08:29Just coming back a bit.
08:30Two meters.
08:31We'll keep it like that if it suits you.
08:33This is fine here.
08:34It's level with the freight.
08:37I'm undoing it.
08:38Timming up the stretcher and in it comes.
08:40And Julie is co-pilot on Flotille 32.
08:46Guy is a diver.
08:48For them, successfully rescuing this sailor with a heart attack demands meticulous coordination of their teams.
08:55This type of mission is known as an SAR, using the initials of search and rescue.
09:01This elite unit of the National Navy is a guardian angel for navigators in distress.
09:07Too low.
09:08Terrain.
09:09Bank angle.
09:10Bank angle.
09:11Bank angle.
09:12Bank angle.
09:13Oh!
09:14Oh!
09:15Oh!
09:16Oh!
09:17Where's the road?
09:18Oh!
09:19Oh!
09:20Oh!
09:21Oh!
09:22Oh!
09:23Oh!
09:25Oh!
09:26Oh!
09:27Oh!
09:28Oh!
09:29Oh!
09:30Oh!
09:31Oh!
09:32Oh!
09:33Oh, oh!
09:34Oh, look! Cut the legs, for Christ's sake!
10:04The ice is broken. Yes it is. As soon as we overtake him, he'll be off again.
10:28Yes, exactly.
10:49Transplant control.
10:53You can then follow my ice channel.
10:58What's your name?
11:03Hello?
11:08Well, how was it? What did you think? There was some movement, wasn't there?
11:28Great. Yeah, when it turned 30 degrees to the right with the wind, we ended up nearly tied up against the bottom. I brought the end up.
11:36On the second one? Yeah. At one point, I was thinking, what are they doing? Either there was a problem or...
11:43Then we asked the boat to turn and after that it was perfect. Then I thought of the direction. Not pitching too much.
11:51It wasn't so much the pitching that got to me, so much as finding a place to get stable with that rolling, which really wasn't a piece of cake.
12:00Well, we're lucky to have more practice opportunities than we need. That's what makes the difference. Our training.
12:07Well, the more you practice, the more comfortable you are. Yeah, you did well. You did well.
12:12The more you practice, the more you practice, the more you practice.
12:18Okay.
12:22Good luck.
12:26What the hell are you doing?
12:55What? How old are you? 29. 29? 29. And you, Tufi? How old are you? 32 or 33, no? 35. 35? I was nearly there.
13:09When I was 5 or 6, my dad went out on a boom. 415. 11 and a half feet. I used to beg to go with him, in tears.
13:20My mother was against it. My mother thought it was a bit too dangerous.
13:25And then one day, I just kept on at them both to let me go with it.
13:30I went out to sea. I liked it and I wasn't even sick.
13:35After that, I wanted to go learn to be ship's boy.
13:40When I was 13, I went to college. 13? 13, yeah.
13:45I started Navy college at 13 and a half and then came out of there at 15 and a half.
13:50I was too young to have a payslip.
13:52When I was 18, I went to get my first mate certificate.
13:55And, well, since 2004, I've been first mate.
14:00Not bad.
14:01Yeah. Now I wanted to do fishing captain, but, wow.
14:06It didn't happen. I started too late.
14:08I worked for a year on land here.
14:19Really?
14:19Doing what?
14:20Dock work.
14:21Ah, doing what?
14:23No certificate for us.
14:25Dock work.
14:26For a year.
14:27After that, you feel there's no choice.
14:29When I'm on land, I always look for the sea.
14:33When I'm on land, I'm coming back soon.
14:54On board the Conteo, Roy skims past ships in distress to make the ice loose in its grip.
15:22Most often, he has to do it several times.
15:27To remove a boat from this icy straitjacket, it is essential to be patient and cool.
15:33Roy never tires of this work.
15:35Helene.
15:36Music.
15:36?
15:48Day and night, tides flow.
16:12The crew takes advantage of every opportunity.
16:15The fishermen know that the quicker they fill the hold, the quicker they'll be back in port.
16:45Well?
16:46How many crates?
16:49Alright Patrick, how many?
16:5270.
16:53Yes, 70.
16:54Out by one crate, I didn't give the tonnage but there are 69.
16:57Any Grenadiers in there?
16:59No.
17:00No.
17:01Yes.
17:02There.
17:03One Grenadier and that's it.
17:04There was no MC, it's nearly full.
17:06There must be one or two missing.
17:08Yeah, but it's better than the last outing.
17:10Bruno, last outing, we didn't make the sabre marks like that.
17:13That's what I said.
17:14It was 20 or 30.
17:15We never got more than 50.
17:17Yeah, it was 20 or 30 at the worst.
17:19There's always link.
17:20I'm looking for my...
17:27Whatever.
17:28I'd say that's a better haul.
17:29Okay, that's fine.
17:31You must go and rest for the next job.
17:33Yeah.
17:34See you later.
17:35Have a good watch.
17:52Did you do military service?
17:53In the police, well, yes.
17:55I'm 29 and I haven't done my national service.
17:58I was at the military academy.
18:00I was supposed to go into the Navy.
18:03I was supposed to go to the officer school.
18:06Didn't you go?
18:07Are you joking?
18:08I didn't want to.
18:09I can't be ordered about like that.
18:10Are you crazy?
18:13No.
18:14You have to be kidding, as it was.
18:16I'd have to cut off my dreadlocks.
18:18Cut off my dreadlocks.
18:19And if you cut the roots off a tree, it dies.
18:24Alright then.
18:25We'll cut them for you.
18:26Yeah.
18:27Well, come here and see.
18:28Come here.
18:30I'm not big.
18:31I'm not nasty.
18:32But come and try.
18:33Tufik's got some down his back.
18:35Tufik's got some down his back.
18:38When he's asleep.
18:40Anyone touches these, he's...
18:42That's when I get nasty.
18:44Anyone touches these, I get apeshit.
18:47How long have you had them?
18:48Six years.
18:50How long have you?
18:51Yeah, now you're going to say,
18:52why not your whole head, aren't you?
18:54No.
18:55That's what people usually ask.
18:56It's just so nice to be the same as everyone.
18:57It's just so nice to be the same as everyone.
18:59What's difficult for the doctor is giving the right diagnosis quickly by radio.
19:00He doesn't feel good.
19:01He's feeling dizzy.
19:02Over.
19:03Okay, we'll call.
19:04Okay, we'll call.
19:05These aren't migraines.
19:06On the hospital boat, what's difficult for the doctor is giving the right diagnosis quickly by radio.
19:25He doesn't feel good. He's feeling dizzy. Over.
19:30Okay, we'll call.
19:31These aren't migraines. Those aren't the symptoms.
19:39There's probably some kind of dizzy spells.
19:42The problem is, you don't have any specific medicine to treat that.
19:48We've got some on board.
19:52Okay, okay, I understand.
19:55I'd like to examine him and see if there's anything else.
19:59Okay?
19:59Miguel?
20:02We'll do as we said. I'll hand you to Ramon.
20:07Hey, Miguel. How are things? Busy?
20:12Yes, but we're late getting the nets back up.
20:18What's your current position?
20:19Currently 35-00 and 31-32.
20:26For tele-32F, for my command, attention. Answer the roll call.
20:30Present.
20:31Carrier, present.
20:33Present.
20:34Present.
20:34BMM, present.
20:35Present.
20:36Mechanic, washer-up and secretary present.
20:38All of your attention. Break ranks. To work.
20:44Right now.
20:45Right now.
20:46Let's get to it.
20:47Yes.
20:48As a ce qui is about this!
20:57It's about 30 minutes ago...
21:01This stuff is so close!
21:02I didn't want to go.
21:04I don't want to go.
21:06I don't want to go.
21:08I'm sorry.
21:10I'm sorry.
21:12Is it really weird?
21:14Oh, but I don't want to go.
21:16I don't want to go.
21:18Wow.
21:20I've got a little bit of a little bit.
21:22I'm sorry.
21:24I'm sorry.
21:26I'm sorry.
21:28I'm sorry.
21:30We're going to see a man who's having dizzy spells.
21:40He's not been well for several days.
21:42Get the electrocardiogram ready,
21:44get the test ready too.
21:46And we'll give him a full checkup.
21:48Shall I admit him to the hospital?
21:50No.
21:52No, we'll keep him here for an hour
21:54and take him back to his boat if he's okay.
21:56We'll check to make sure.
21:58Right, Sylvia?
22:00I'll get ready, okay?
22:02I'll leave you that.
22:12I told Sylvia to get everything ready.
22:14Okay.
22:16Fine.
22:18Melchia, can you give me a bit of a hand, please?
22:20On the 32F, success is ensured by repeated training,
22:38carried out as conscientiously as real rescue operations.
22:42It should go well.
22:44We should break some records.
22:45There's the thing.
22:46Easy enough to die in there.
22:48So you're the third man, in the middle?
22:51I'm in third place.
22:52On the right, and on the left for me,
22:54pilot's seat.
22:56This is where the stress starts.
22:58We're in, look.
22:59We're going to crash with the pilots on board.
23:01So we are.
23:02Doesn't happen every day.
23:04Might as well have a pilot if you're going to crash.
23:06Ready?
23:07Yes.
23:08So for you as pilot, there's a brace position to take before the crash, before the splashdown.
23:22The cabin will go down, and you will stay in that position until impact.
23:26Once it's happened, you leave the brace position.
23:29Left thigh, leg a bit wider.
23:32You go for the knee and find the emergency exit.
23:35Down your thigh and shin.
23:37There are several of you.
23:38The mechanic too, you tap his thigh before you go to let him know you're ready.
23:44And then breaststroke, ideally with no foot movements, in case he's just behind you so as not to...
23:50Yes, if he gets kicked.
23:52Exactly.
23:53Especially if you're short on breath, okay.
23:56Don't take all day, but do give yourself two or three, two seconds to think.
24:04What did the diver say before he went headfirst?
24:07If you rush it, you'll screw up.
24:10The sea is choppy.
24:24It's going to be lively.
24:25Bridge to lifeboat, be really careful when you board.
24:44Bridge to lifeboat, be really careful when you board.
24:48B
25:01Help!
25:03We'll wait for the wave.
25:04And then go, OK?
25:05Watch out.
25:10It's moving.
25:16Tonio, let's go.
25:41I really don't like this.
25:46Okay, that's it.
26:02Okay, that's it.
26:16Okay, that's it.
26:18I really don't like this.
26:20Let's go.
26:22Okay.
26:24Let's go.
26:26Let's go.
26:56that took you a while as quick as I could really it's all about thinking you know pilots you feel
27:19a bit left alone in the middle when you're on the side you get out the door on your own and you look
27:27left and the door still isn't open you look right it's still not open and you say to yourself time
27:32for a wait and I didn't signal to you if it was nighttime you'd still be down there waiting maybe
27:37the little I shouldn't really have yeah when it's day I can see you leaving but if it's night I might
27:42still be waiting saying time to tie can't see anything up front it needs doing anyway no doubt
27:47about that I think yes it it takes practice
27:50I'll try and push it
28:16I'll try and push it
28:21yes
28:23yes
28:24yes
28:31Look upwards, fine, your hands, squeeze my fingers hard.
29:01I want it to hurt, don't worry.
29:04Have you felt weakness in your arms or legs?
29:07Yes, in my legs, when I get dizzy.
29:10When you're dizzy, not after.
29:11Yesterday, a bit, yes.
29:13A bit yesterday?
29:14Yes.
29:16Look at the end of my nose.
29:24Is it worse with your eyes shut?
29:27Yes.
29:29Okay.
29:30Okay.
29:31Okay, okay.
29:32All right, good.
29:33Yeah, yeah.
29:34Okay.
29:35We're taking you off.
29:39Sit down if you like.
29:41We'll examine him to see if it's Meniere's disease.
29:47They come and go all at once.
29:50It's very brutal.
29:52It's down to an inner ear problem.
29:54Juan de la Casa.
29:56Juan de la Casa.
29:57This is the doctor.
29:58Are you receiving me?
29:59Over?
30:00Yep, loud and clear.
30:01Over.
30:02We're going to take a crew member aboard.
30:04And no doubt keep him for two or three days.
30:08Okay, nothing changes for us.
30:10We're ready for the maneuver.
30:18We'll have to tow it.
30:19It's the only way.
30:20No, not yet.
30:21Have you already told the boys?
30:22Oli, can you tell them?
30:24No, not yet.
30:25Have you already told the boys?
30:26Oli, can you tell them?
30:27No, jumbo prize.
30:28I've got 500 euros just for you.
30:44Ready?
30:45All you have to do is pick up the phone.
30:49Deck here.
30:53Hey, the outside rollers need opening.
30:56Okay, we'll do it.
30:59We'll do it.
31:00We'll do it.
31:01We'll do it.
31:02We'll do it.
31:03We'll do it.
31:04We'll do it.
31:05We'll do it.
31:06We'll do it.
31:07We'll do it.
31:18However it may seem, urgency is also a rule on board the Conteo.
31:22There is thick traffic in the channel opened by the icebreaker.
31:26No ship can afford to stay stuck for too long.
31:41It doesn't matter if it's not in exactly the right place.
31:45We'll do it.
31:46We'll do it.
31:47We'll do it.
31:48We'll do it.
31:49We'll do it.
31:50We'll do it.
31:51We'll do it.
31:52We'll do it.
31:53We'll do it.
31:54Yes.
31:55And get the men inside.
31:57Hello, this is Von Goegel, the 32F.
32:00Is that the bar of Bren?
32:02Listen, we have to come over to you and do some winching later.
32:06Okay, fine, yeah.
32:09What are your course and speed?
32:11We'll contact you.
32:12Then when we're in the air, we'll ask for your position.
32:15And so we should find you.
32:20Yeah.
32:21Yeah, okay.
32:22That's fine.
32:23See you later.
32:24On the 32F, staying under pressure keeps things operational.
32:38Regular training sessions make the operations automatic.
32:41People's lives are in the hands of their teammates.
32:44Nothing must be left to chance.
32:54Is the winch okay back there?
32:57Yeah, for all the vital tasks, it's okay.
32:59So it's an Alpha and Alpha Charlie.
33:01Winching with a fisher.
33:19So we're looking for a fishing boat.
33:24Tonight, I'm stuffing my face.
33:29I'm going back onto coconut.
33:32Bug it if I don't.
33:33I've been starving since 4 o'clock.
33:35Talk in.
33:36I'm going to wharf it down.
33:38All right, Tufik.
33:41You followed me today?
33:42All right.
33:45Ah, another one.
33:47Great.
33:48You remembered me.
33:50Hey, my lovely godson.
33:55What have you cooked up, Kristoff?
33:57Vegetables.
33:58You want vegetables?
33:59Carrots?
34:00Improve your temper.
34:01Carrots?
34:02Improve your temper.
34:03And give you a rosy arse.
34:04Don't you want that?
34:05In any case, we can't see your arse for the hair.
34:07Hey, you're right there.
34:08Okay, that's fine.
34:09Kristoff?
34:10Happy eating.
34:11Yeah, thanks, Tufik.
34:12You too.
34:13Can I sit down, Roman?
34:14Go on.
34:15These vegetables, it's nice.
34:16Finished already?
34:17No, that's just my starter.
34:18What's the dessert?
34:19Baked Alaska.
34:20Nothing better.
34:21Well-known fact.
34:22That's why I'm here.
34:23I'm here.
34:24Okay, that's fine.
34:25Okay, that's fine.
34:26Kristoff?
34:27Happy eating.
34:28Yeah, thanks, Tufik.
34:29You too.
34:30Can I sit down, Roman?
34:31Go on.
34:32These vegetables, it's nice.
34:33Finished already?
34:34No, that's just my starter.
34:35What's the dessert?
34:36Baked Alaska.
34:37Nothing better.
34:38Well-known fact.
34:39That's why.
34:40Oh, Roman, you need to cut down.
34:41It's not really my thing, all this.
34:42It's sweet, but it's like that guy.
34:45What age was that?
34:4621?
34:47Yeah, yeah.
34:48It's so sweet, isn't it?
34:49It's sweet like that, but not like that.
34:52When I started, I did 40 days with Roman.
34:54We lost a net.
34:55What's the dessert?
34:56What's the dessert?
34:57What's the dessert?
34:58What's the dessert?
34:59What's the dessert?
35:00What's the dessert?
35:01What's the dessert?
35:02Baked Alaska.
35:03What's the dessert?
35:04Baked Alaska.
35:05Nothing better.
35:06Well-known fact.
35:07That's why.
35:08We lost a net.
35:09We filled the boat.
35:10I was on ice for 40 days.
35:12I was like, what is this crazy world?
35:14Then you got your first pay and you were happy.
35:15I got my first pay.
35:16It was 5,600 euros.
35:18I was like, wow.
35:19I was-
35:20Yeah, BMW.
35:2119?
35:2220?
35:23I was, wow.
35:24I was happy.
35:25I left the police on June 2nd, 2009.
35:28Very precise.
35:29After, I went on the dole.
35:31Then I realized I was bored as hell on land.
35:34And then first I asked Patrick what his thing was about.
35:37Because each time he set off, I saw him go, but I didn't really know what he did.
35:40Were you curious?
35:41I was curious.
35:42And he'd talk to us and I'd say, so how was it with the tides and all?
35:46And he'd say, well, yeah, we bought in 80 tons.
35:49But I didn't know what that meant.
35:50And then on my birthday, he gave me an envelope and in it was a photo of a cruise ship.
35:55And on the back it said, uh, voucher for a Patrick Jolly cruise underneath.
35:59So I went on my first outing as a passenger on August 3rd, 2009.
36:04Lasted 10 days.
36:05Three days.
36:06Okay.
36:07Nice weather.
36:08Middle of the trip.
36:09Fourth day.
36:10The third, fourth, fifth, sixth, yeah.
36:13I chucked my guts up at least four times in one hour.
36:16Forget it.
36:17I was a wreck.
36:18I said I'll never go on a fishing boat again.
36:29If you like, we can give you a bit for your equipment.
36:32Yes.
36:33He has to be let down with the harness.
36:36Okay.
36:37I'll pass you another one after.
36:40When you're ready, say go.
36:44Let him down now.
36:48On the widest step, okay?
36:58Get ready.
36:59We've got you.
37:06They'll catch you and say go.
37:08On this signal, we drop the cable.
37:11Jose Luis, take your time.
37:13When you're ready.
37:18You're ready.
37:20Wait, wait, wait.
37:21We're going.

37:56Alright, we're okay.
37:57That's it.
37:58Thanks.
38:09I can see something in the light patch at midday below the cloud.
38:13Yeah, that must be it.
38:14Okay.
38:15Yep.
38:16You see it?
38:17Yeah, it looks like it's pitching a fair bit.
38:20It's right in the swell.
38:22Get ready back there.
38:24I've got everything ready behind, so when we're directly above the boat, it's into the water.
38:29Okay.
38:30X, X, X, X.

38:38All okay in the machine.
38:40And he's standing at the door.
38:4255% average.
38:44We've got a view of the boat.
38:46Okay, any time now.
38:48In the water.
38:49The diver's out.
38:50When you're ready.
38:52He's off.
38:53The diver's going down.
38:55We're coming forward gently.

38:57The boat's rolling and we'll let it roll.

40:59Glonley, Gontio.
41:02Forward on half power.
41:12Ten knots is a good speed.
41:14That way, we stay in control.
41:16Just as long as the cable stays taut,
41:19so there are no problems.
41:21There won't be.
41:23The cable mustn't break.
41:25No, it won't break.
41:29Let it down.
41:53Give him a hand.
42:03Jose Luis, this is our assistant Melchior.
42:15He'll take care of you.
42:17That's true.
42:29It's rolling a bit.
42:31The diver's got the hook in his hand.
42:33Guy just fell over on a roll.
42:35Is he okay?
42:37It's all right.
42:38He's fine.
42:39Nothing broken.
42:40Okay.
42:41He's made of solid stuff.
42:42Tough as they come, our guy.
42:43Stretchers coming up off the deck.
42:45To the left, gently.
42:46Five meters.
42:47Well, to the left now.
42:49Gently, left, four.
42:51It's up level with us.
42:53That's great.
42:54Not too bad at all.

43:13He's level with the wheels.
43:14He's coming up to the door.
43:16All is well in the machine.
43:17He's coming in.
43:19Diver on board.
43:20All right, Gitu.
43:21Not too hard.
43:22Silence gives consent.
43:23I love it when he pretends to have suffered.
43:24So moving.
43:25So moving.
43:26He's good at that.
43:27The hook's in place.
43:28Winching finished.
43:29All clear on the right.
43:30It's with you.
43:31Great exercise.
43:32All that water is to make us believe you were sweating.
43:33Is that it?
43:34I'm going up to the door.
43:35All is well in the machine.
43:36He's coming in.
43:37Diver on board.
43:38Diver on board.
43:39All right, Gitu.

43:41Silence gives consent.
43:42I love it when he pretends to have suffered.
43:43So moving.
43:44So moving.
43:45Is that it?
43:46I would have liked to have been there.
43:48You'd have seen.
43:49Well, I sweated a bit.
43:50But in the end, I was just as happy to be here.
43:52Yeah, in the drive.
43:53Yeah, you were fine.
43:54All right.
43:55Yeah.
43:56That platform really was slippery.
43:58Really.
43:59A couple of times I was doing a holiday on ice or whatever.
44:04Yeah.
44:05Great.
44:06That was a good exercise today.
44:07Excellent winching for you and for you.
44:15Is it .
44:16Has the relay pilot already got to the meeting place?
44:24Yes, it says .317.
44:28The relay pilots come in tracked vehicles from nearby coasts to take the boats in the channel and guide them to the port of Ulu.
44:58Who's our next customer?
45:27Where from?
45:29There's the transward, heading fast for the coast.
45:44On the boat, you told me it started three or four days ago?
45:48Yes, Sunday.
45:51Oh, Sunday.
45:52Sunday morning, when I woke up. I didn't know where I was.
45:56Okay, let's have a look. Then we'll take some blood to test it. Okay?
46:01I'll have to handle you. Don't resist. Don't resist.
46:08Does that make the dizziness worse?
46:13Yes.
46:14Allah?
46:15Yes.
46:16All the symptoms point to an inner ear problem.
46:20Okay, Jose Luis, follow Melchia. He'll take you to your cabin. He'll give you something to eat. We can give you some milk and biscuits.
46:35Whatever you say. See you later.
