The idea was to swim an $8 pool float, a
00:00:04
lio, from Talpo to Port Wetto, the
00:00:07
entire length of the Wetto River. And I
00:00:09
couldn't really afford to do this
00:00:10
adventure and I just trying to figure
00:00:12
out and make it work. And two main
00:00:14
components were going to cost me a bunch
00:00:15
of money. One is food and one is
00:00:18
accommodation. And so each night I would
00:00:20
get out of the river and I would go up
00:00:21
to the nearest house. I'd knock on the
00:00:23
door and say, "Hi, my name's Jimmy. I
00:00:24
just happen to be lieloing your river
00:00:26
out here. Can I please stay the night
00:00:27
and have some food?" In the end, I had
00:00:29
to knock on a grand total of 11 doors.
00:00:33
Literally, every single person opened
00:00:34
the door and said, "Yeah, please come
00:00:37
inside. Stay on my couch from the spare
00:00:39
room, on the floor, whatever." We just
00:00:41
don't quite understand how many
00:00:44
beautiful, wonderful people are out
00:00:46
there who are willing to help. Around
00:00:48
about the time you go through Huntley,
00:00:49
there was an incident where a teenage
00:00:51
boy had jumped off the rail bridge into
00:00:53
the water and was missing, presumed
00:00:55
drown. And you happened to stumble
00:00:57
across the body the same time as the
00:00:58
boy's uncle who was out looking for him.
