00:00Our planet is under threat like never before.
00:11This shouldn't happen. It breaks my heart.
00:14We lose up to 150 different species every single day.
00:19Oh my word. That's actually crazy.
00:22And a million more are threatened with extinction.
00:26But we're on a mission to try and change that.
00:31That is a big drop off.
00:33Put your eyes forward, mate. You know what I mean?
00:36This is going to be sunrise.
00:38We're entering the unknown.
00:40Our job? To find and film some of the rarest animals on the planet.
00:46I mean, I can't believe it. Show me.
00:50And help scientists to save them.
00:53That's the last one. Yeah.
00:55This is beautiful.
00:57Before it's too late.
00:59That is destroying the entire ecosystem. Look at that.
01:03I'm dead. And I specialize in getting cameras into places where no one else can.
01:09Oh, that's pretty tight, isn't it?
01:11If a bear comes now, I'm a goner.
01:13I'm Vianney. I connect to these animals through my camera lens.
01:19I mean, this is extraordinary.
01:21He's looking straight at me.
01:23And I'm Aldo, a former Royal Marines commando and team leader.
01:28All right, big man. I'm all good.
01:30It's my job to keep V&A and deck safe.
01:34Do you think this will take my way?
01:36This might be my toughest challenge yet.
01:52You get seasick?
01:54We're going to find out.
01:55We're in Canada.
01:57I'm looking forward to seeing you in Vianney.
02:00Like fish out of water.
02:01And we're looking for whales.
02:04North Atlantic right whales.
02:06Hey.
02:07You're looking nervous, mate.
02:08Me?
02:09Yeah.
02:10With less than 400 left, they are one of the rarest whales on the planet.
02:15Actually, this is a completely different type of environment for me.
02:19But you know what?
02:20We adapt.
02:29Thing is, up to now, all our expeditions have been on dry land.
02:34Have you boys been at sea before?
02:36Nah, this is...
02:37I've done the Irish crossing a few times.
02:40But other than that, this is all new to me.
02:43I must admit, I do get motion sickness.
02:47I spent a year on ship.
02:49It was quite a while ago.
02:50It's been a while since I've driven a boat.
02:52Yeah.
02:53How am I doing?
02:54All right?
02:55Yeah, you're doing well.
02:56Yeah, nah, nah.
02:57Sweet, mate.
02:58Sweet.
02:59Whoa!
03:00Here we go!
03:01Whoa!
03:04With so few whales left, they're super protected.
03:08To get anywhere near them, we need to join forces
03:12with a team of scientists.
03:14This is, boys.
03:15Home for the next three weeks.
03:19Together, we're heading 500 miles north,
03:23to the whale's summer feeding grounds.
03:27Our best chance to find this whale.
03:32Ahoy!
03:33Lead scientist on our ship is Dr Mo Brown.
03:38All right.
03:39Come on up.
03:40We'll get you guys settled.
03:41Hello.
03:42Good to meet you, Mo.
03:43All right.
03:44Mo has spent her life studying North Atlantic rights.
03:48Well, why do you care so much about the right whale?
03:53I've been asked that question for almost 40 years.
03:56And these whales are part of the ecosystem.
03:59So you have an animal that's feeding down on the bottom of the ocean.
04:03They're bringing that food in their bellies up to the surface.
04:07And there's nitrogen in whale poop.
04:09Okay.
04:10And that helps the whole nitrogen cycle.
04:13That's a biological answer.
04:14Yeah.
04:15Philosophically, if we had a whale pop up beside us right now,
04:19we'd all be looking at it.
04:21Yeah.
04:22It's part of, you know, it's part of the wildlife in the world.
04:25I don't think we want to live in a desert.
04:27We've got everything, yeah?
04:29Let's go find our bunks.
04:30I think we're in here, V.
04:31Well, Aldo and V get a comfy twin.
04:32Oh.
04:33Look at this.
04:34We've got a window.
04:35This is luxury.
04:36All six foot two of me is squeezed into the belly of the boat.
04:39Well, we've got some sort of window here, so at least I'll get a bit of daylight.
04:42This is me.
04:43It's a bit cramped.
04:44Where I'm sat on the toilet is about two feet away from V&A's head.
05:01Cabin sorted.
05:04Time to finalise plans.
05:07So at the minute we're steaming up here, this is the migratory path of the North Atlantic right whale.
05:17Every year, these whales migrate from their calving grounds in Florida to their feeding grounds in Canada.
05:24Problem is, that's through more than a thousand miles of ocean, crowded with ships and rammed with fishing gear.
05:33So the two biggest threats to these whales are ship strikes and being entangled in fishing gear.
05:41That's what's killing these whales.
05:45With so few right whales left, scientists urgently need to find out how many have survived this year's journey.
05:54And that's where our high-tech cameras can help.
05:58We've got this incredible six-axis gimbal that will just get the perfect shot.
06:07I'll be finding, supporting as much whales as possible.
06:12But that's not all.
06:14We've brought an experimental whale detection system with us that could make ship strikes a thing of the past.
06:21If this system really works on this ship, they could start sending them out on all these other ships, you know?
06:30Yeah, I'm really looking forward to getting involved with this tech.
06:36So that's the plan for the next three weeks.
06:38If we can hack it.
06:43It's really, erm, very choppy, choppy out there.
06:53Erm...
06:56Yeah.
06:57Already, there's a little bit of a roll-on. The boat's rocking around.
07:11I love it. I love being out at sea with nothing around.
07:15The boys are starting to feel a little bit queasy.
07:18Erm...
07:23I get a really bad...
07:26sea sickness.
07:32So this, this is a motion sickness glass.
07:35It looks a bit funny.
07:37But tell you what.
07:39It does the job.
07:41Even in summer, these waters are unpredictable and wild.
07:51It's just gone crazy to see, but they're like massive waves.
07:57Which only makes finding our whale even more of a challenge.
08:02It just shows how mental this feels.
08:16It's actually pretty scary.
08:18I feel like when in there, it's...
08:21See how people get lost at sea.
08:23So yeah, you'll respect it as much as you can.
08:28I think I'll be fine.
08:30Erm...
08:32Good night, baby.
08:40See you in the morning.
08:41Yeah.
08:43Good night.
08:52Good night.
09:02I had a really bad night.
09:13I still feel a bit rough.
09:16Yeah, I slept really well.
09:18I think the rocking helped me fall asleep quite quickly.
09:20And then now it's a lot stiller as I've woken up, which is great.
09:27The storm might have cleared.
09:30You see it, Ray?
09:32But it's left us a problem.
09:35On the left.
09:37OK, that's deep.
09:38Bad weather can rip up fishing gear.
09:43And our boat has got itself snagged.
09:48Got it, got it.
09:50This is what the right whales are getting wrapped round them and then dragging.
09:55It's estimated there are millions of traps like this all along the whales' migration route.
10:03Imagine trying to tow that.
10:05Heavy bit of kit.
10:07And this is just your average size trap.
10:10There's a crab in there.
10:12And some lobster.
10:14Some are twice as big.
10:16That sawing motion on my skin would cut through in a very short space of time.
10:22Just like that.
10:24But fishing gear is only one of the threats the whales are facing.
10:32Bloody heck.
10:33See this big tanker?
10:35Around half of right whales are killed by ship strike.
10:42If that hit a whale, it would be like hitting a bug on your windscreen.
10:45You just wouldn't notice it, you know?
10:46And you'd keep going.
10:48And, yeah, it's pretty...
10:50Pretty harsh image to take in something like that, you know?
10:56And that's why we've brought a special bit of kit on board.
11:01It's an AI camera.
11:03This bit of tech should, in theory, stop vessel strikes from happening.
11:10Hey, Declan.
11:12I'm working with robotics engineer Lauren Stanley.
11:16We've got the two thermal cameras, right?
11:18Yep.
11:19A lot of wires.
11:21A lot of plugs.
11:23By using machine learning and thermal cameras,
11:27this bit of kit should be able to spot whales up to two miles away.
11:32Not just by looking for its body, but its more visible blow or water spout.
11:38Sending an alert to the captain to take evasive action.
11:43So we can see the whales blows very easily because the water has been inside the whale, it's a little bit warmer than the surrounding water.
11:51But the system hasn't seen enough right whales to know if it can reliably spot them at distance.
12:00We're hoping for detection at different distances, so that's really critical for us.
12:08The more detection data we have, the more reliable our system becomes.
12:11So, this is all up and running.
12:12We're on this mission to basically sight as many whales as we can, and that is crucial.
12:25Because if we can get all that data, then this camera is just ready to rock.
12:34But these whales are so rare, we might not find any at all.
12:38We've arrived at the feeding grounds.
12:53All right, let's get this up.
12:55Yeah.
12:56This looks heavy.
12:58OK, it's not too bad.
13:00Over the next 15 days, it's my job to get as many whales on camera as possible.
13:06Just one thing, Mo. Most importantly, what shot do you need from me?
13:11So, we really need from the tip of the snout to just behind the blowhole.
13:17Yeah.
13:18Then if we see any scars, then that helps with the identification as well.
13:22All right, cool. OK, I'm going to crack on.
13:26I've got the perfect camera for the job.
13:29This is a six-axis stabiliser.
13:32Even if we were going up and down, you know, round and round, the images will be dead steady.
13:41That is the magic of this technology.
13:44This footage will be crucial in helping the scientists identify how many whales have survived the migration.
13:59But first, we need to find them.
14:02So, basically, I'm looking for movement.
14:08You're kind of looking for shapes in the sea.
14:12And these feeding grounds span hundreds of square miles.
14:16I mean, it very much is a needle in a haystack.
14:27But thankfully, we're not just relying on my binoculars.
14:32V's camera has a thousand-millimeter zoom lens.
14:36Ideal for scanning the horizon.
14:38It's going to be always on the lookout.
14:44But we also have an AI camera up there.
14:50What should happen is that the camera on top should find a whale and then it should ping up on here.
14:58With a range of two miles, it's Dec's job to monitor the AI system and direct us towards whales when they surface.
15:15Still no sign of any whales up here, but we've got our eyes peeled.
15:18Waiting game, isn't it?
15:23Patience.
15:33Here we go. We've got one.
15:35Amazing.
15:37The system's picked something up.
15:39But is it our whale?
15:40Oh, a whale.
15:47Out there.
15:48There you go, look.
15:49The whale's just there.
15:50OK, Captain, we've got a whale up in a perfect position at 12.30.
15:55OK, we've got a visual, huh?
15:57It's our first confirmed sighting.
16:01Wow, look at that.
16:03Of a North Atlantic right.
16:07That's so beautiful.
16:11There's one right there.
16:13Oi!
16:16Followed closely by a second.
16:21Getting more pings in.
16:22Loads coming in.
16:23Loads and loads.
16:25And every confirmed sighting improves our system's detection range.
16:32Wait, come right, right, right.
16:34Right?
16:35Yeah.
16:37OK, that's good, that's good.
16:38I mean, we've got a really good shot there.
16:42There we go, there's another one.
16:46We're in the thick of it here, aren't we?
16:48I think we are.
16:50We pretty much have blows 180 degrees in front of us.
16:53Yeah.
16:54Every ping we're getting, every single little blows, all adding to that important database.
17:04I'm loving it. I'm loving watching it at work.
17:06You're so steady with your camera. This is really good. Look at that. That's, that's, that's perfect.
17:20Yeah.
17:22Every shot, it's so important in helping Moe work out how many whales have survived the migration.
17:28You are getting the nice profile shot of the head, but you're also getting the back, and then you're getting the flutes as she dives, and so there's a lot of information in all those parts of the body, little scars that they've acquired over their lifetime.
17:43Yeah.
17:44So, really important images that we need to identify these whales.
17:48Yeah.
17:49Upgrade.
17:51But the more whales we film.
17:53I just see a blow.
17:55One o'clock V, one o'clock.
17:58200 metres away.
18:00The more we see how much this journey costs them.
18:03Now this is gone now.
18:04Quite a bit of damage.
18:08In fact, almost every whale is covered in grey lines. Scars from fishing equipment.
18:28For others, the damage is even worse.
18:33Did you see that last one?
18:42Yeah, with a rip in its tail.
18:43Yeah.
18:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:45You said it was potentially a propeller.
18:47Wow.
18:48It's damaged it.
18:51Thing is, other whales and dolphins swim in these waters, and they don't seem to get hit or entangled anywhere near as much as our right whale.
19:03And I've got a kind of camera trap which could tell us why.
19:09But this one doesn't stick on trees.
19:13Check this thing here, look.
19:15It sticks on your head.
19:17Like that.
19:18Not for too long though.
19:19What this is, is a whale tracker, but it does a lot more than just track.
19:23It can measure the depth the whale goes, how it's rolling around under the bottom of the ocean, how much time it spends on top.
19:29No, but also, it's got a cheeky little camera on the front there.
19:34We can get a little glimpse in the day in the life of a whale.
19:38But getting tags safely on a 50 ton whale is tricky.
19:44So I'm teaming up with marine scientist Dr. Sarah Fortune.
19:48I think they should be charged.
19:50But yeah, settings will definitely be good to check.
19:54Sarah's been tagging whales for over 10 years, and it's not always been straightforward.
19:59Before we would use a boat like this, so you have someone on the bow of the boat.
20:04But what happens is like a lot of the time, you don't get many opportunities.
20:08And so you can have not great tag placement.
20:11So we're going to try a totally new way of tagging these whales.
20:16Sweet, so spot's on, VHF is on.
20:20Using one of my very favourite gizmos.
20:25Drones.
20:26I just saw a blow there.
20:30These animals are so endangered, only a few people are allowed to fly anywhere near them.
20:37So my job is to help find whales to tag.
20:41OK, so that should be an adult pair.
20:45She's just popped up.
20:47The idea is to fly the drone over an unsuspecting whale.
20:52Two blows, in fact.
20:54Release the tag.
20:56And let gravity do the rest.
20:59Oh, there we go.
21:01It's on, is it?
21:02No.
21:03Oh, you hit the wash.
21:05Well, that's the idea.
21:08There's another blow.
21:12There we go.
21:15It's on.
21:16Nice.
21:17Oh, wow.
21:18That is so cool.
21:19In the past, these tags have only stayed on for up to 11 hours.
21:28Nice.
21:29Another whale's been tagged.
21:30Another whale's been tagged.
21:31Yeah, that's so cool.
21:32Nice job, Chris.
21:33Chris.
21:34We're hoping these will stay on for much longer.
21:39Giving us the data we need to work out why these whales are dying in such numbers.
21:45It's another perfect day for filming whales.
22:00Leeway Odyssey, you copy.
22:01Leeway Odyssey, we copy.
22:02Leeway Odyssey, we copy.
22:03But then we get a call that changes everything.
22:07We located the whale.
22:08There is gear attached following the whale.
22:09Another boat has spotted a whale in distress.
22:10We've got an entangled whale.
22:11So, this is big.
22:12This is massive.
22:13Just about to have lunch all of a sudden.
22:14We've got a whale.
22:15We've got a whale.
22:16We've got an entangled whale.
22:17We motor to its last known location.
22:20The drone is going up.
22:23We need to find this whale fast.
22:38That's the whale.
22:39There we go.
22:40There's the whale.
22:41There's the whale.
22:42Ok, wicked.
22:43Guys on the whale.
22:48Yeah, she's twisted up.
22:51Yeah, we've got eyes, we've got eyes.
22:53The stakes have just risen.
22:55She's a female.
22:56And there are only 70 breeding females left.
23:00She's coming up.
23:01She's coming up.
23:03She could have up to six calves in her lifetime.
23:06It's vital she's freed.
23:10All that gear must be just wearing her out.
23:12It must weigh an absolute ton.
23:15It doesn't look good.
23:17She has one fishing line cutting into her back
23:20and more lines wrapped around her mouth,
23:22stopping her from eating.
23:26I'm pretty concerned about her.
23:31This is a lethal entanglement.
23:35More calls in reinforcements.
23:39Is that the rescue boat?
23:41Yep.
23:42Highly trained fishermen.
23:43They know these seas
23:45and with 30 successful disentanglements,
23:48they know these whales.
23:49Good luck, guys.
23:52The rescue team is equipped
23:54with razor-sharp knives on poles
23:56and grappling hooks that can slice through a rope.
24:02All right, you guys, be safe.
24:04Hopefully we can get to this whale as quick as we can.
24:08There's no tag.
24:09Yes, it is, that's her.
24:11She's up.
24:11Yeah, there she is.
24:12Phew!
24:12From high up on her boat,
24:15it's our job to guide them in
24:17when the whale surfaces.
24:20Max, Max, she's at your nine o'clock.
24:25But to save her,
24:27we need to attach even more gear.
24:29All right, the buoys are in.
24:33Two buoys.
24:34Good work, man.
24:35Good work.
24:36They're on.
24:38These big floats,
24:39it's all about slowing her down
24:41because the more tired she gets,
24:43the easier it becomes
24:45for the rescue team to cut her free.
24:46That sounded labelled, didn't it?
24:55Yep.
24:57To slow something like this down
24:59is like trying to slow a train, you know?
25:09But even a weakened, under-fed whale
25:12needs to be approached with caution.
25:16This is a very, very dangerous thing.
25:19One flick of that tail
25:20and that boat could flip
25:22and people could go under
25:23and Mo has actually lost
25:25one member of her team.
25:28He was very tragically
25:30in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
25:32After he cut the whale free,
25:35the whale's tail came across the boat
25:38and he was killed instantly.
25:41I was just praying for them.
25:43Nothing bad happens to the team.
25:45They're going in for a cut,
25:47it looks like.
25:48Yeah.
25:51Give her some space.
25:53She's coming right at us, guys.
25:54Right at us, right at us.
25:58She's coming back.
25:59She forwards us again.
26:00She forwards us again.
26:02Tail is up.
26:05Yes!
26:06Oh, my God.
26:08Nearly topped the boat.
26:10Oh, fools.
26:11Oh, shit.
26:12No.
26:12Ah, she's gone.
26:23She's up.
26:24She's up.
26:24She's behind us.
26:25Behind us.
26:30Yeah, five o'clock.
26:31Five o'clock.
26:33Off your stern, Mac.
26:34Off your stern.
26:34Come on, guys.
26:39Get lucky.
26:48Under us.
26:49Under us.
26:49Other side.
26:50Other side.
26:52Oh!
26:53I'm right back there.
26:57Like, five o'clock they've been at it.
26:59Yeah, sounds like they've got something cut.
27:09The line around her back is gone.
27:13You can see the indentation in her back where the other rope was.
27:17But the lines around her head and mouth are still there.
27:21That's the thing.
27:24It's not one cut will save all.
27:26You've got to just keep going.
27:27An entangled whale can take six months to starve to death.
27:32We've got to cut her free.
27:34She's ahead of you.
27:34There you go.
27:45Come on, boys.
27:46They've got it.
27:52They've got it.
27:53The rope's gone.
27:55Oh, my God.
27:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:59Yes, they're all cut.
28:00All cut on this side.
28:02Woo!
28:03Wow!
28:06They've cut everything off her head.
28:08So she can open her mouth now.
28:10Oh!
28:11This is unbelievable.
28:14See this?
28:14She's completely free of it.
28:16Yes, look at her.
28:24Massive fluke.
28:24Whoa!
28:33The whale has been freed from the most life-threatening fishing gear.
28:38Good to see you.
28:40And tomorrow, we might find out why these whales are getting entangled so much in the first place.
28:46We might find out why these whales are getting a very far-away beep over there, right?
28:58After a record-breaking 38 hours on the back of a whale, the tags have finally fallen off.
29:19There it is.
29:20There it is.
29:21There it is.
29:22There it is.
29:23I've seen it.
29:24Oh, yeah.
29:25Yay!
29:26Yay!
29:27Oh!
29:28Wahoo!
29:29Here we go.
29:30Nice!
29:31What a precious data.
29:32Feels like whale.
29:33Feels like whale.
29:34As well as some beautiful whale footage.
29:35Oh, sunset.
29:36Yeah.
29:37We're hoping they hold the secret.
29:38It's mad.
29:39As to why these whales are dying in such numbers.
29:42Looking at the dive data.
29:43This is...
29:44Yeah, I think this is just really exciting.
29:45So...
29:46Oh, my word.
29:47Okay.
29:48Really consistent dive durations during daylight hours.
29:49And then, after dusk, you start to see that the whales are diving to shallower depths,
29:55and then, eventually, they're diving only a few metres below the surface.
29:56Oh, wow, so that's...
29:57So, it's like a really pronounced day-night pattern that we're seeing.
29:59Yeah.
30:00And then, after dusk, you start to see that the whales are diving to shallower depths,
30:05and then, eventually, they're diving only a few metres below the surface.
30:10Oh, wow, so that's...
30:11So, it's a really pronounced day-night pattern that we're seeing.
30:15Yeah!
30:16These tagged results are stunning.
30:18They prove for the first time that these whales behave like this.
30:24You would never have figured this out without these tags.
30:27Without these tags, yeah.
30:28Yeah, that's great.
30:32These right whales spend most time at the surface at night
30:36when ships have the least chance of seeing them.
30:43It's proper dark now, you know what I mean?
30:45Proper dark.
30:46Stars up ahead.
30:48The way I'm searching for the whales is I'm just using my ears, you know.
30:51And every time I hear it, I'm like, right, there's a whale somewhere,
30:56and then I've just got to find it.
30:58But I've got something no ship captain has, a night vision camera.
31:05Hey.
31:08There's one.
31:11Oh, there's another blow.
31:17With so many at the surface, it's easy to forget
31:20there's less than 400 of these whales left.
31:25Oh, there she blows.
31:27The secret nightlife of the right whale
31:29has never been captured like this before.
31:33I feel so bad for them,
31:34because they're just always in the wrong spots at the wrong time.
31:39In the daytime, they spend so much time at the bottom
31:42where there's all the net in,
31:44and then at night they spend loads of time on the surface,
31:46and that's where they're going to get struck by vessels.
31:50A captain could be going along in the boat,
31:53and they're never going to see the whale,
31:54and they're going to hit it.
31:57So, yeah, it's pretty mad to realize that.
31:59It's my washing day,
32:13so I'm going to go and wash my clothes.
32:17After nearly three weeks at sea,
32:34it's not just time to catch up on our household chores.
32:39Our whale detection system has been working away nicely,
32:42but has it gathered enough data to work reliably?
32:48Right, Lauren, so we've been on this boat for some time.
32:51That camera's been up there the whole trip working away.
32:54We've gotten almost 700 individual whale blows,
32:57which is absolutely nuts, right?
32:59That's so many individual North Atlantic right whale detections.
33:03Some of these are up to almost 3km away,
33:06and then some of these are a little closer, closer to 1km,
33:08and this is really what we're looking for.
33:10So do you think that is enough, like 700?
33:13Definitely, yeah, 700 is...
33:14I mean, that's a huge amount of data.
33:16OK.
33:16We've been able to confirm
33:17that we're detecting these whales really reliably,
33:19and we've got a reliable detection range.
33:22So hopefully we can use that
33:23and get this on as many vessels as possible.
33:25This could be massive.
33:27We've helped prove that the whale detection system
33:29can spot these whales up to 2 miles away,
33:33alerting ships like ours whenever they're too close.
33:36And I suppose it's just one of them things for the captain,
33:41it's just that ping.
33:43Ping, right, I need to do something here.
33:46Yeah.
33:46And stopping the boat, slowing it down,
33:48letting the whale pass.
33:49Exactly.
33:50Captains are the ones who are best suited to make that call.
33:53Exactly.
33:53But just giving them as much information as possible
33:55to act is what we're trying to do.
33:56In the name of science...
33:58Yeah.
33:58...we're going to save the whale.
33:59We're going to try it.
34:00Just let me know when you want it, Swung.
34:06It's time to head for home.
34:08Do it now?
34:10Hang on, hang on.
34:11But before we leave...
34:12OK, blow.
34:13Two whales up.
34:14Two whales up, B.
34:15Yeah.
34:16Yes, I got him.
34:18This remarkable whale has one last surprise for us.
34:22Oh, there we go, mum-calf pair.
34:27There's the calf tucked in behind on mum's side.
34:31Oh, wow.
34:33It's a mother and calf.
34:37They look right next to each other.
34:38It's amazing.
34:44It's always good to see a mother-calf pair, you know?
34:46It's the future.
34:47Yeah.
34:47It's the future of this population.
34:48That's right.
34:49The future of the species.
34:52Oh, a tail slap.
34:57Oh, la, la.
34:59Oh, this just makes me so happy.
35:04The footage that you have made while we've been on this trip has really been critical.
35:11Your images are going to contribute to the big story for these animals, to their life history.
35:16It's satisfying.
35:17It's, you know, it's invigorating just to know that we're doing the right thing.
35:22Over three weeks, Vee filmed 43 whales.
35:31It'll be crucial footage to help scientists work out just how many have survived the migration.
35:37It's a great legacy, and I've never had such great footage.
35:43That's a win.
35:44It's a win.
35:45Absolutely, it's a win.
35:48Just waving at you, Vee.
35:50Yeah.
35:50I think I'll miss this boat.
36:04Will I?
36:06I won't miss this boat.
36:08I'm looking forward to getting back on dry land.
36:10Check that sunset out.
36:11Woohoo.
36:18Woohoo.
36:18I don't know.
36:48I don't know.
37:18I don't know.
