    Thanks for another skillfully done video tour of remote beauty! Your genuine interest in the history of places you visit shows through clearly and really does enhance the stories you're telling. We're lucky to have you both as guides.

    Nice lizard. If those critters can swim, might make a nice boat pet. One more thing against pirates too.

    I was once told by a local to not worry about the crocodile warning signs at the beach because the sharks scare the crocs away. Thanks for taking me along with you in this episode, it was captivating.

    Green tree ants use their larvae to spin silk, which they skillfully use to build and seal their nests. The worker ants hold the larvae in their mandibles, moving them along the edges of leaves to weave silk-like walls and create strong, sealed structures for their colonies.

  • @Dan-t6h2s
    @Dan-t6h2s День тому +1

    I actually heard the giant clams can be seriously dangerous. If you were not paying attention and put your hand or foot inside of one, they can actually close up on you a lot faster than you would think they could, and once clamped down, you need like an ax to pry it open again, so be careful when you’re down there.

    • @SailorJames

      Most if not all giant clams can’t actually close

    Did a tour on midway island. Coming from the midwest it changed my life at 18. The trash today, makes me cry. My heart breaks. Such a waste. It is now off limits but the damage is horrible. A couple years ago, some volunteers picked up one ton of just TOOTHBRUSHES! I was still impressed at how LITTLE amount of trash there was there. Awesome you guys. Party on!

    • @SailorJames

      The trash on Indonesian beaches and in the water is unlike anything I ever thought possible, and not just on windward beaches, it’s everywhere

    Nice, sailed up there, all very familiar, always lots wind, for you its the right direction. I see you up at LabuanBajo (Been there too) but of course your UA-cam time is out by many months, I see you making rapid progress is it your intention to close the apparent gap between now and UA-cam time (hopeso!).

      Let me see how long it takes you to sail from Sydney to Cape York (2145 miles) at 5 knots 👍🏻 and for the record in real-time we have been in Indonesia for two months.
