The idea was to swim an $8 pool float, a lio, from Talpo to Port Wetto, the entire length of the Wetto River. And I
00:00:09
couldn't really afford to do this adventure and I just trying to figure out and make it work. And two main
00:00:14
components were going to cost me a bunch of money. One is food and one is accommodation. And so each night I would
00:00:20
get out of the river and I would go up to the nearest house. I'd knock on the
00:00:23
door and say, "Hi, my name's Jimmy. I just happen to be lieloing your river
00:00:26
out here. Can I please stay the night and have some food?" In the end, I had
00:00:29
to knock on a grand total of 11 doors. Literally, every single person opened the door and said, "Yeah, please come
00:00:37
inside. Stay on my couch from the spare room, on the floor, whatever." We just
00:00:41
don't quite understand how many beautiful, wonderful people are out there who are willing to help. Around
00:00:48
about the time you go through Huntley, there was an incident where a teenage boy had jumped off the rail bridge into
00:00:53
the water and was missing, presumed drown. And you happened to stumble across the body the same time as the
00:00:58
boy's uncle who was out looking for him.
