I would have been even more impressed if one of the bungee jumper had pulled out a fish. I am with @conniemckown3871, no way would I jump off on a bit of elastic. Fantastic footage again, the air is so clean down there. Those hairpins would be nice on an empty road! Really must go again and do the bits we missed. Excellent editing Pete.
@pjg54gАй бұрын
As if fishing isn’t random enough. You can ask for a “splash” jump and you might get lucky, but you better be quick. No way I would jump either, but fun to watch. On one of the hairpins the steering wheel hit the stop and I went wide, fortunately nothing was coming. I actually spent a lot of time learning and editing more, like lowering the music and increasing the ambient sounds for the lake. Also, after the ferry vid getting almost 90k views I feel I have to keep up a standard. 🙂 You could save about 50 hours flying and watch all my videos, this is the last of the NZ ones.

I am sorry to say but The competition is better, faster boarding, better service, better ship. The interislanders are ticking time bombs and running in borrowed time - old ship, tired crew. Cabin staff give zero f….s - Canteen is filthy with fingerprints on all the glass dating back to the mid 2000‘s😂 Had a dog in the camper in the hill but will never do that again - diesel fumes and noise is terrible. Bluebridge ferry offers a cheap cabin for dog owners so you can stay with your pet - the bonus us if you have to abandon ship you won’t have to leave your dog behind like on the Interislander.
