    The first 30 seconds is cinematography at its best! The initial uncertainty with the new lady ... the "mock-up" introduction to this episode ... the casual innocent switch of port and starboard ... the let-down: "nothing to report this week" ... and then THE FOOT and impulsive laughter. What cinematographer could do better? Simply amazing. Love it!

      Watching them evolve as filmmakers has been incredibly cool. UA-cam has put so many talented pepole on the map in fascinating ways. I think that their choice to sail to the arctic was bold and gave them so many unique opportunities. I'm curious to see how they adapt to more well-travelled places again to keep things interesting.

    As a UK citizen who's been fortunate enough to holiday in the Mediterranean since I was a kid in the 1960s and have since explored so much more of it I envy you two. You are at the start of what will undoubtedly be a year or two of amazing exploration and experience.
    There is just so much to be found - the history, cultures, languages, landscapes, food, architecture, people. I'm looking forward to your first impressions of places that I've known for decades, all my life. Fair winds, Uma!

    I remember the first time I went to Snowdon in Wales, and was told it was a 3 hour climb. It took me 9 hours. However, those who did it in 3 missed some of the best views in North Wales. A good climb isn't about the summit. It's about the journey there. Glad you enjoyed your walk it looked fabulous.

    So what's with the firefighters starting a search standing up? I did that stuff for about 20 years, and the way we did it was go into the smoke-filled building that we were searching in a crawl, with our arms sweeping out to each side. And one arm would always stay in contact with the wall. that way you would be able to sweep approximately a six-foot wide swath of room. Go up one side and then come back the other side, and you covered twelve-feet of room, which is usually enough to do cover the average residential room.
    If the room is bigger than that you would make another search with a partner and a rope. The partner would move a distance into the room, staying against the wall, and let out about six or eight feet of rope. The searcher would hold the end of the rope in one hand and "sweep" with the other arm, keeping the rope taught and using your partner as the anchor. Keep doing this after the "anchor" moved eight or ten feet farther. You would eventually cover the entire room.
    Keep in mind that you would be doing this in smoke so thick that, while on your hands and knees, you would be unable to see the floor. And your sense of hearing would be impeded by the nomex hood you were wearing, and your sense of feel by your thick gloves. That's why the firefighters are practicing with the masks of their breathing apparatus covered over so that they couldn't see. Also I noted that they were not wearing their backpack compressed-air bottles and regulators. Cheating!
    And most importantly you NEVER did this standing up! Too much probability, going in deaf and blind as you were, of tripping and falling. Then you could be injured or at least be disoriented.....and thus became just another victim. On your hands and knees you just can't fall that far.
    Retired now. But Damn I miss that stuff!

On wed, Oct 19 we were on a tour of Gibraltar. Yes, the monkeys are cute! I recognized Gibraltar at the very beginning when you were crossing the runway. Just for reference, we are sailors also, but prefer smaller "boats", like windsurfers and Hobie 16s. And no, we don't plan to buy a couch.
