00:00A quick bit of video. Listen, you went out there, you got so far, and well, you didn't quite make it, did you?
00:10No, we didn't make it anywhere near. We didn't get out of the bay. How far out were we, do you know?
00:15Oh, I don't know, 100 metres? 200? Generous. The wind was going the wrong way.
00:21Yeah, the wind was against us, the waves were against us, everything was against us, and we ended up conceding.
00:28Okay. Now imagine we saw the Kraken. The Kraken, yes. It would have eaten us in a second.
00:33Yeah. So, but is your objective achieved nonetheless?
00:39I think so. I think we've learnt really what we're up against when it comes to the sea.
00:45Yes, yes. It's too powerful for us. Some people can handle it, but we couldn't.
00:52Now, you're making a statement about plastic pollution as well, aren't you?
00:57Yeah, and keeping our mission green, and generally respecting nature.
01:02We need to respect nature much more because we're a part of the natural world.
01:06Great. So this raft is made up from found materials taken from around here.
01:14Presumably, at the end of it, you'll get this. This will be recycled.
01:19Yes, now. So now we're going to take it off. It's going to get stripped apart, back into the bits,
01:25and those bits will get recycled in the local area.
01:27We've got the buoys underneath, which will get given to the local fishermen.
01:30The ropes, if they're usable, they'll get redistributed.
01:34Otherwise, they'll get turned into doormats, which you can buy on Etsy.
01:39Oh, great. Yes, yes.
01:40Alan does those.
01:41Oh, yes, yes. The Cato's Beach Cleans group. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, great.
01:46We might take the sail, which is a curtain sheet, sorry, a shower curtain.
01:53Yes.
01:54I might take that as a souvenir for myself.
01:56Yes, I think you should.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Yeah, I think that would look great.
02:00Anyway, look, thanks very much.
02:02Thank you.
02:03Nice to meet you, and good luck with your film.
02:06I'm going to go and warm up.
02:07Yes, I think you need to.
