Wow... This is a story of HOPE... Never give up... Now I Know where the story of Robinsón Cruzó as I used to hear it comes from... I remember as a kid watching the movie...

Hi Professor Bitto, and thank you.

[@mexicounexplained]

You are very welcome

Those islands are awesome

[@mexicounexplained]

To your other post, I was having some slight drop-outs when I was recording this video. I had to do some splicing at the point you mentioned. I did that about 6 other times but with a little more finesse. Thanks for noticing. It means at least someone is actually paying attention. :-)

Great one Bitto....! thx

[@InterestingFingz]

Great video. Got the details on Socorro from the book. 'Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands' by Judith Schalansky. Keep up the good work.

[@mexicounexplained]

Thanks, will do!

[@HVLLOWS1999]

The Marquesas Islands are extremely beautiful and the native Polynesian culture there is fascinating and enigmas. I can see how Poly sailers may have found these islands but found them rather inhospitable so turned back.

Had no idea this place even existed.

[@user-hj2ec1mt7m]

Naval base? I checked and it seems that the Total Eclipse can be seen here, but if there is a naval base, it would be difficult for the public to enter. Thank you.

Surprised you haven’t blocked that Kennedy guy yet I’m start think he’s a bot lol 😆

[@mexicounexplained]

I probably should block him, but people here are mildly entertained by him. I don;t think he's a bot, though, because he sometimes reacts intelligently to things. I am suspecting it's a former friend, but who knows?

[@nicholasrodriguez4990]

@@mexicounexplained He seems to spam a lot That’s why I thought he was a bot but hey at least he’s interested in your videos
