Ah, you bloody vandals.
Maddy, you ready to leave?
Can't wait to get out of here.
Are you excited, Jordi?
Well, it's the 29th of January 2017
and we are going to leave Antigua
and we're heading to Europe.
It's a 17 day passage, it's quite a long one,
all the way across the Atlantic.
So we're going to have this thing called The Challenge
which basically means for every one mile we do
of the 4,800 miles it takes to get from Antigua
all the way across to Genoa in Italy
you have to do a pull-up or a push-up.
Also do a sit-up or a squat.
Yeah, so that's the challenge.
You have to do one every mile.
Day one.
How's it going, girls?
Yeah, it's not too bad.
So Ed, how are you feeling about the fitness challenge?
Regretful. I wish I hadn't suggested we do it.
170 to go.
Yeah, it's good stuff.
Well done.
So there's no dinner yet because Chef is sick
so Jamie and I are going to head up to the galley soon
and sort that out.
It's been an interesting day.
Day one, it's nearly over, which is good.
Hey, Nick. How are you doing?
Yeah, looking great.
Hey, Tom, how are you feeling?
Did you wake up like this?
Hey, baby girl.
What are you making?
I'm trying to make dinner.
And then I'm trying to make a cake but apparently it's not working.
And are you feeling better today?
I'm feeling better today.
We're excited to have you back.
Good cake?
Good cake.
How's the arm?
Good arm.
Good arm?
Has anyone actually interviewed you yet?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
You look really uncomfortable on camera.
Do you know what the best bit about getting up at 3.40 is?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
And I get to look out of this.
This is my view for eight hours of the day.
Stealing Maggie's camera.
That's Jordan doing her watch.
Yeah, great job.
Video diary.
Yeah.
Take one.
Day three.
Is it day three?
Yeah.
Is it day three or day two?
Day three.
Florida and United States.
And we left Antigua.
Cruised up here.
And we're about here.
We're going to turn and head over.
All the way to Gibraltar.
Rinse, rinse, rinse, rinse.
So, every morning we have to get up and rinse the boat down
to get rid of all the salt build up throughout the day.
Tank fish!
We're free!
What is this?
Fuck, I don't know English.
A tart?
A tart.
So, it's day four of the crossing across the Atlantic to Genoa.
And yeah, nothing to report.
There's a boat over there.
You can't see it.
Nothing over there.
Oh wait, is that a boat over there in the corner?
There's a boat.
The boat.
Right there.
Jamie, how are you going with your fitness challenge?
I've done five today.
What's your goal?
Maybe six.
I think you can do it.
How nice is that?
The airport.
Oh, look at that.
We're about just under one third of the way to Gibraltar.
Which puts us about there.
Nando's delivered to the boat, yo!
What do you call this?
Pavlova.
Where's it from?
New Zealand.
And it's from New Zealand.
Where's it from?
Probably British.
Here we go.
You agree?
Bloody British.
Wow.
Thank you, Camilla.
Good morning.
It's day five on board.
We're at Dreams Crossing.
And look what a glorious morning it is.
Yeah.
I think everybody's doing fine.
No one's gone crazy yet.
Hey guys, what's happened to the camera?
Bro.
What's up?
Tell us about day five.
I just got up.
So there's nothing interesting here.
The Pavlova's been finished.
So I've hidden Tom's phone.
He's already asked me where it is.
Hey Tom, did you find your phone?
No.
Someone, some person has taken it.
Did you find your phone yet?
Tom, did you find your phone yet?
No, you haven't given me back my phone.
I don't have your phone.
Did you find a whale?
I found that.
What I think is really nice about this crossing
is all of us having meals together,
sitting down and talking.
Oh.
Oh, wait.
Oh.
Okay.
No worries.
Cheers.
One point for the correct country for the flag.
Of course not.
Three, two, one.
Pictures of famous sites around the world.
Starboard side also got 16.
Yes.
Giving it a total of 97 points.
Birthday Eve decorations have gone up.
Happy birthday, Geordie.
What are we listening to now?
You know.
Ah, Kendrick Lamar, Backstreet.
And what's this song called?
Backstreet Freestyle.
Drop it, Matt.
Dog.
Square Garden.
Is this your favourite song?
Yeah.
Right now it is.
What are we waiting for?
Oh, wow.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday dear Geordie.
Happy birthday to you.
Jordan, have you ever thought about being a chef and plating up?
Because this is the best plating I've ever seen.
Looks perfect.
What people think happens in the laundry.
Versus what actually happens.
It is the two lemon, two lime detox.
Cheers.
Great.
Day 8 sunrise.
Mood.
What's up?
Anything new?
Nothing.
We've covered...
Literally nothing?
Literally nothing.
Ah.
It's like clouds scurrying across the sky.
Now dark, now light.
He gets to his feet and walks slowly over to the kitchen.
Where Anna is now sitting at the table, feeding Evie.
Camila.
What happened?
Is it Mexican?
Yeah.
I guessed it correct.
Got a couple of celestial...
Celestial navigation.
Let's start that one.
Celestial navigation begins.
Point 10 on the arc.
Glorious.
Yeah.
I don't even know what day we're on now.
So, lost track.
But we're nearly there.
Check this out.
Now we are here.
And we are going to Gibraltar.
And then we carry on to Europe.
So, yeah.
Same old.
Boom.
There you go.
So we got this guy set up.
And then he just comes in.
And the light comes on.
Boom.
Ah, it looks so ******* good.
It's so scary.
I mean, like, I knew it was here.
And I still jumped when I came around the corner.
That's how good it is.
Sorry, Camila.
Didn't get you.
Because I saw the GoPro.
Ah, ****.
It's definitely too good to miss, though.
So funny.
Fuck you.
That was horrible.
Fuck you guys.
Did you spot the GoPro?
As I came out.
As you came out.
Brilliant.
You ready?
Yeah.
It's so good.
I thought we were friends, Jamie.
What's happening?
I know nothing.
What about the lights in the lower deck, hey?
I've got to fix them tomorrow night.
Honestly.
It's pretty rough out there.
How did you sleep?
Like ----.
Day 11.
Oh, my God.
Day 11.
Yes.
Good breakfast?
No.
Nah.
Why the **** are we watching Below Deck on the crossing
when we're pretty much living in our own Below Deck?
Why?
It's split by example.
This is not, I repeat, this is not what happens on a superyacht.
How's it going, Rory?
Where we at?
It's exciting stuff.
It's some sweet smiles.
Thomas just told me that he's going to go stand on the foredeck.
Going to go stand up on the foredeck, do a bit of Titanic stuff.
That guy is so close.
Some could say it's pretty rough.
To the jib.
Jib, jib, jib, jib, jib, jib, land, land, land, land, land, land, land, land.
I'm just stuck.
What is?
Oh, baby girl's cold.
Looks really sus what Jordan's showing.
She's mad.
You're mad.
No, you're mad.
You're mad.
What's happening, Jamie?
Well, we're here in Gibraltar.
We're going to get some fuel, three-hour turnaround,
and then we're going to be straight off again to Geneva.
2 a.m. in jib.
Well, it's really exciting.
You might be saying, Tom, why the hat and the big coat?
Well, that's because we're back in Europe now and it's ******* cold, eh?
We are leaving.
We need to get out of here.
And now we get caught in the weather, so we're going to try and get ahead of this weather that's coming in.
Day 13, day 13, day 13, day 13, going crazy, going crazy.
Our last course of call was Gibraltar.
It's like 400 meters long.
It's insane.
It's a ******* sad day on World Dreams.
There's no more Vegemite.
What am I going to do for the next two days?
Eat Marmite.
Marmite tastes like arse.
So you like Marmite, then?
Oh, ****, I look like ----.
But I guess that's what happens when it's pretty much like being inside a washing machine.
Just the water, the bashing, all night long.
Didn't get any sleep.
And then I get told that it looks like I've been dragged through the bushes.
Are we going to be late?
No, we're going to be there in a day.
What are we going to do when we get in?
We're going to not wash the boat.
Get wasted.
So seedy.
Is that going to stay for a while?
Until I have to take it off.
What's going on?
Blame, right?
Rough day at the office, huh?
Tell me about it.
Rory, how do you feel right now?
Seasick.
I remember my first rodeo.
Super Mario.
Mystical morning.
Good morning.
It is the final day of the crossing.
The Atlantic crossing.
Pretty much all the way around the world.
We left Antigua just over two weeks ago.
And now we're arriving into Genoa.
We'll be there in about an hour.
Which is quite exciting.
You can see the sun coming up.
Good morning, Camilla.
Last day.
Oh my God.
Glorious.
Land.
Same to land, but we're in Bossa Pompadour.
Isn't it lovely?
