And something quite traumatic happened when we 38 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: went for our second ever go on the boat. So 39 00:02:32,881 --> 00:02:36,681 Speaker 1: we reversed it in on the ramp. So it's called yeah, 40 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,481 Speaker 1: the ramp, So you reverse in the boat and then 41 00:02:39,561 --> 00:02:43,601 Speaker 1: you disconnect it whatever. Jay does that part, and then 42 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: my job was to drive trailer back out and then 43 00:02:48,761 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: park the car. So did that all great? So Jay 44 00:02:52,641 --> 00:02:58,241 Speaker 1: is on the boat in the driving seats. Someone's to 45 00:02:58,281 --> 00:03:00,361 Speaker 1: the wrong person. I was like, this yep. 46 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,641 Speaker 2: In my head, I know exactly wherever it is. 47 00:03:02,601 --> 00:03:05,801 Speaker 1: He was driving. Everyone knows what I mean. And then 48 00:03:06,281 --> 00:03:09,201 Speaker 1: my dad's wife has got on the boat and my 49 00:03:09,401 --> 00:03:12,361 Speaker 1: kids are there too. Holly has a rope holding the 50 00:03:12,401 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: front of the boat. Amelia's job is to make sure 51 00:03:15,001 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: that the boat isn't touching the jetty a job. 52 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 53 00:03:19,001 --> 00:03:22,201 Speaker 1: So then I come background. I've managed to park the trailer. 54 00:03:22,281 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm proud of myself because it's sucking hard. 55 00:03:24,281 --> 00:03:26,001 Speaker 2: I was like that in itself. Me. I'm like. 56 00:03:27,641 --> 00:03:30,161 Speaker 1: When I got back to the boat, it's like this 57 00:03:30,201 --> 00:03:32,841 Speaker 1: all happened in slow motion. So my dad, who is 58 00:03:32,881 --> 00:03:36,641 Speaker 1: in his seventies, he's a large guy. He had one 59 00:03:36,721 --> 00:03:42,001 Speaker 1: foot on the jetty, one foot on the boat. 60 00:03:42,401 --> 00:03:44,561 Speaker 2: At the back of the boat. Right, he's getting the 61 00:03:44,561 --> 00:03:45,001 Speaker 2: back of boat. 62 00:03:45,041 --> 00:03:48,281 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Jay said, everyone get on the front. He 63 00:03:48,441 --> 00:03:50,521 Speaker 1: was like, no, I'm going to find it easier on 64 00:03:50,561 --> 00:03:53,721 Speaker 1: the back. One foot on the jetty, one foot on 65 00:03:53,761 --> 00:03:59,001 Speaker 1: the boat. And then I'm watching in slow motion, all 66 00:03:59,041 --> 00:04:03,041 Speaker 1: of us in horror as the back of the boat 67 00:04:03,321 --> 00:04:09,161 Speaker 1: moves away from the jet and my dad is slowly 68 00:04:09,601 --> 00:04:18,161 Speaker 1: doing the splits and everyone's like, oh my god, what 69 00:04:18,441 --> 00:04:19,481 Speaker 1: is happening here? 70 00:04:20,281 --> 00:04:24,081 Speaker 2: Everyone's waiting for it because everyone knows the inevitable is 71 00:04:24,121 --> 00:04:25,201 Speaker 2: about to happen. 72 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:30,041 Speaker 1: And I'm briefly in my mind, I'm going this is 73 00:04:30,241 --> 00:04:37,921 Speaker 1: really dangerous. This is not going to end well. And 74 00:04:38,001 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: he's looked at us and gone, I'm going in, and 75 00:04:44,841 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: he has gone into the water. My concern was he 76 00:04:50,521 --> 00:04:52,121 Speaker 1: was just going to keep doing the splits, keep doing 77 00:04:52,161 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: the splits, and then like fall back and smash his 78 00:04:54,401 --> 00:04:57,001 Speaker 1: head on the jelly or something like that. He's opted 79 00:04:57,201 --> 00:04:59,961 Speaker 1: to just go I have to go in. My only 80 00:05:00,001 --> 00:05:03,801 Speaker 1: option is to go in. He's fallen into the water. 81 00:05:04,481 --> 00:05:09,441 Speaker 1: We've all gone to like grabbing arm. This guy on 82 00:05:09,481 --> 00:05:13,561 Speaker 1: a boat behind us has taken his shirt off and 83 00:05:13,641 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: he has jumped straight into the water and he's like 84 00:05:16,401 --> 00:05:19,521 Speaker 1: trying to help. We're then trying to get this seventy 85 00:05:19,601 --> 00:05:23,241 Speaker 1: year old onto the back of the ladder of the boat. 86 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,041 Speaker 1: Oh my god, Rach it was like I felt like 87 00:05:26,121 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: I had PTSD off the back of it. Holly looked 88 00:05:29,161 --> 00:05:31,401 Speaker 1: at me, she went, mom, I filck, I'm gonna vomit. 89 00:05:33,721 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: Okay, I have to ask it. But in that part 90 00:05:37,241 --> 00:05:40,481 Speaker 2: of like watching it slow as he's starting to split, 91 00:05:40,601 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: like boats coming away Jenny's going a little bit further, 92 00:05:43,521 --> 00:05:45,561 Speaker 2: like this is there a little bit of you just 93 00:05:45,601 --> 00:05:47,601 Speaker 2: going like this is a little bit funny, but a 94 00:05:47,641 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: little bit fucked up. But this is a little bit funny, 95 00:05:49,641 --> 00:05:51,161 Speaker 2: and I don't know what I'm meant to be doing. 96 00:05:51,241 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: His wife starts crying. No, it was like it was traumatic. 97 00:05:55,281 --> 00:05:57,921 Speaker 1: And then rag finally we got out. No one's talking, 98 00:05:58,081 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: like we all got on the boat. Dad's soaking wet 99 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,481 Speaker 1: in his clothes. Old mate who's jumped into help has gone, fuck, 100 00:06:04,521 --> 00:06:07,961 Speaker 1: I've left my phone in my pocket. He hadn't who 101 00:06:08,001 --> 00:06:11,161 Speaker 1: had his boat? Legend of a man, Yeah, his wife, 102 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,841 Speaker 1: And so then we've started going on the boat. No 103 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,721 Speaker 1: one's speaking because we're all really traumatized. But once just happened. 104 00:06:18,961 --> 00:06:20,681 Speaker 1: This is on the Gold Coast. We get out, it's 105 00:06:20,761 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: got super choppy, so Jay's going faster to try and 106 00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:30,721 Speaker 1: get through the waves. We're getting absolutely soaked. I felt 107 00:06:30,801 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: like I was in the middle of like some kind 108 00:06:32,761 --> 00:06:36,761 Speaker 1: of rough seed storm.
