This is a very entertaining video, probably mostly on what not to do but he admits he was not properly prepared.
Should entertain during the deep freeze for many of us.

You know that moment when your steak is on the grill and you can already feel your mouth watering.
Do vegans feel the same when mowing the lawn?

Now that is some adventuring.

Oh geez.  This is so embarrassing.  DIY plywood micro skiffs seem to be the latest thing for guys with very few dollars and even less sense.  I started on mine last week. Am still cutting and gluing flat panels and it will probably take at least a month to finish.  It will be way under-powered compared to his and I had not even considered marlin fishing.

That's incredible, 40km is very far to go, there was recently a similar video of a guy that went out in a skiff to 40km. I wonder how long it takes? Interesting that they allow this in Australia, to go out that far in a home made boat with only one engine, apparently you are hardly allowed to carry a pocket knife there.

John Taylor did it on one of those inflatable banana boats. Twice. At night.
