I'm Vince. 6 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Hi, I'm Paul. 7 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000 And I'm Emily. 8 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:08,000 No, we got it. 9 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Hi, I'm Vince. 10 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000 And I'm Emily. 11 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:31,680 And you're listening to The Lighthouse Lowdown. 12 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:32,960 We're doing a switch up. 13 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:33,960 I lied. 14 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:39,200 I was supposed to do this episode and it fell apart. 15 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,560 So Vince is doing the episode today and it's going to be hopefully a mini-isode. 16 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,560 Yeah. 17 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,080 It's a shorter story. 18 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,400 I think there's probably more history that I couldn't find. 19 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:50,400 Yeah. 20 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,720 And so maybe we'll learn more someday. 21 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,720 But for now, this is what we got. 22 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,720 And it's interesting. 23 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:55,720 Yeah. 24 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,480 Just a little tidbit, a taste, a taste crumb of information. 25 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,320 All right. 26 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:08,000 I suppose on that screen I should put up something that's not that so I can show everyone. 27 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,920 Let's just put this up. 28 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,360 Vince is doing TV time for the first time, I think. 29 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,360 Yeah. 30 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,360 Okay. 31 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,440 So I'm going to control the screen share and you should see it now. 32 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,080 Yeah, if you're on YouTube. 33 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:21,080 Yeah. 34 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,080 If not. 35 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,760 I'm just assuming everyone's watching the YouTube. 36 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,320 Otherwise, they're like looking at their phone like. 37 00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:27,320 Yeah, like what? 38 00:01:27,320 --> 00:01:28,320 Yeah. 39 00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:29,920 Something's supposed to happen. 40 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,680 So either way, the screen share is up now. 41 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,520 You're looking at a Google open tab for now. 42 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,960 So a couple of different items for housekeeping. 43 00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,480 The first is the history buoy for today. 44 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,600 Oh, you have one. 45 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,600 I do have a history buoy. 46 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:44,600 Whoa, whoa, whoa. 47 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,600 I don't. 48 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,960 I didn't prepare anything to show, but I'm just going to shoot from the hip. 49 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:48,960 Oh, that's fine. 50 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:49,960 So recent. 51 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,320 I was going to say recently. 52 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,320 What's that look? 53 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,320 You kicked me. 54 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,320 Violence. 55 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,840 One of our past, I'll call it recent, it's relatively recent history movies. 56 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,840 Wow. 57 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:08,560 We talked about some vocab, and I think you chose the words nautical miles. 58 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:09,560 Yeah. 59 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,840 And then knots for speed. 60 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,640 We talked about we talked about all that. 61 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:13,640 Yeah. 62 00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:17,760 And I was trying to think of a movie scene that I had seen before where they were talking 63 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,800 about knots and they were on a ship and I couldn't remember what it was when I was trying 64 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,800 to to recall. 65 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,600 Oh yeah, I know what I know what this is. 66 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,400 And then I was totally wrong on the meaning of what it was. 67 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,640 What I was thinking of is the word fathom. 68 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:31,720 OK. 69 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:41,120 So fathom from engineering software, King Kong, the film, 1933 King Kong could have 70 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:42,120 spelled it right. 71 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:43,120 I'm just going to leave it. 72 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:44,120 Let it ride. 73 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,600 So I was thinking of fathom like fathoms and I'll tell you. 74 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,400 So first off, King Kong. 75 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,040 I recently watched the 2005 King Kong and then I looked up. 76 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,140 I didn't watch it, but the 1933. 77 00:02:57,140 --> 00:03:03,960 So the original King Kong was 1933 and then it's been made since then into 13 films. 78 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,040 Oh, my. 79 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,160 Not all straight King Kong with different sagas. 80 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Some of them are just straight remakes and three TV shows. 81 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:12,760 So that's a lot. 82 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,760 Fun fact. 83 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,760 I watched it 2005 and they they did. 84 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,880 I'm not going to show the clip, but they did do the same remake scene where they're approaching 85 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,880 the island. 86 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,760 If you haven't seen King Kong, there's an island. 87 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,080 It has King Kong, which is a giant ape on it. 88 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,080 There you go. 89 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,960 As they're approaching the island, they see they're coming in this into some fog and the 90 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,060 captain reads out, you know, give me a sounding. 91 00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:40,040 So sounding we'll talk about is a depth measurement. 92 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,760 So they throw a weighted rope over the edge and the rope goes down to a depth and the 93 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,800 ropes are only a certain length. 94 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:53,160 But once the rope hits the bottom, they see how many lengths it is deep. 95 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,240 And those lengths are called fathoms. 96 00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,480 So a fathom is a unit of six feet, one point eight three meters, especially used for measuring 97 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,680 the depth of water, sometimes used in singular when quantified, when qualified by a number, 98 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,120 as in you'd say five fathom deep. 99 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,120 Yeah, not fathoms. 100 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:10,120 Oh, interesting. 101 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,560 That goes against, you know, like the English language. 102 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,280 Well, fathom comes from Old English, fathom, meaning outstretched arms. 103 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:20,560 Oh, interesting. 104 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:25,320 The noun fathom, which now I'm reading at this point, which now commonly refers to a 105 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,680 measure, especially of depth of six feet was originally used for the distance fingertip 106 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:35,440 to fingertip created by stretching one's arms straight out from the sides of the body. 107 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:41,600 It is in one of its earliest uses, the verb fathom was a synonym for a modern embrace. 108 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,160 To fathom someone was to clasp the person in your arms. 109 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,120 So fingertips around them. 110 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:53,440 So the fathom was just to figure out the depth of the water so you wouldn't like run aground. 111 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:54,440 Yeah. 112 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,680 So you're taking a sounding as a measurement of depth of water using a rope, a sounding 113 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,160 rope, which is knots are tied in at six foot lengths. 114 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,600 And the reason I think they did that is because you could like, so your height is supposed 115 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,080 to be your arm span. 116 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,720 Like they're typically a one to one ratio. 117 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,080 Different people have like my arm span is slightly shorter than my height because I'm 118 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,400 six foot five. 119 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:21,320 My arm spans like six foot two or my dad, he was six foot five and his arms are like 120 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,600 six, seven. 121 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:27,600 So people have variances, but roughly six feet fingertip to fingertip is like a six foot 122 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,600 man. 123 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,440 So I think that's probably, you could probably like, you know, run the rope out like this 124 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,440 and then, you know, I'm stretching my arms for those who are not sitting across from 125 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,840 me and then tie a knot and you could get rough depth readings pretty quickly if you just 126 00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:45,800 took any rope and made it a sounding rope. 127 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,720 By the 1600s, fathom had taken to the seas as the verb was used to mean to measure by 128 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,200 a sounding line. 129 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:58,280 At the time, the verb also developed senses synonymous with people with, excuse me, with 130 00:05:58,280 --> 00:05:59,940 probe or investigate. 131 00:05:59,940 --> 00:06:02,960 So to fathom something was to probe it or to investigate it. 132 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,440 And now it frequently refers to the act of getting to the bottom of something, figuratively 133 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,440 speaking. 134 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,320 So I can't fathom that. 135 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,720 I can't probe and understand and come to get a measurement. 136 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,560 I can't see the depth. 137 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,520 I can't fathom it. 138 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,760 We say that a lot is like, I can't fathom the size of the universe. 139 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,320 No, you literally can't. 140 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,360 You used a bro voice for that. 141 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,360 Yeah, there's lots of bros. 142 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,720 I can't imagine a frat dude saying fathom. 143 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,140 I can. 144 00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:35,040 You see the profit they made on this movie? 145 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,040 Which one? 146 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,040 King Kong 1933? 147 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,040 Yes. 148 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,040 Look. 149 00:06:39,040 -->

film used a lot of the same exact details that were used, down to the line, 177 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,720 the same exact details that were used in the 1933 film. 178 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,840 So I enjoyed it. 179 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,840 I like that. 180 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:38,840 That's interesting. 181 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,960 Yeah, they really showed us some respect. 182 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,720 Even this scene, which is like the climax of the film, is at the top of a tower. 183 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,600 All of these details were exactly the same. 184 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,600 Oh, that's cool. 185 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:47,600 Yeah. 186 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,320 I thought that was neat. 187 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,320 So we're the watch.

191 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,040 Movie analytics. 192 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,280 If I could control my mouse, that'd be great. 193 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,280 Okay. 194 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,880 So that is my history movie, Fathom. 195 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,880 Nice. 196 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,880 Something I didn't know. 197 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,880 Here we are. 198 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:07,880 Cool, cool, cool. 199 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,760 Cool, cool, cool. 200 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,600 So I found the lighthouse I'm going to talk about today, a long time ago. 201 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,160 And I found it in a search for the most beautiful lighthouses in the world. 202 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,160 Oh. 203 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,880 Are we recording, by the way? 204 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,880 Yeah. 205 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:24,880 Okay. 206 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:25,880 Why, why? 207 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,880 Well, I just totally forgot to ask. 208 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,880 You're used to being able to see it, so I understand. 209 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,880 Right. 210 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,880 I'm used to recording, so. 211 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,880 Glad we're recording. 212 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,880 We still have PTSD. 213 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,880 I'm going to download my images. 214 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,880 I'm going to bring this up. 215 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:38,880 Whoa. 216 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,880 Is it pink? 217 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,880 Or is it just lighting? 218 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,880 It's a little bit of lighting. 219 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,880 I think there's some, a little Photoshop going on as far as coloration goes. 220 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,880 Why, why? 221 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,880 Did it used to be like a bigger stone? 222 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Nope. 223 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:53,880 What? 224 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,880 We'll talk about it. 225 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,880 So this is, and we're going to go ahead and get into mispronunciations. 226 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,880 Oh, good. 227 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:03,880 This is the tour-leet-us. 228 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,880 Tour-leet-us. 229 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:05,880 Tour-leet-us. 230 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,880 Tour-leet-us, as Google would say, which I actually, actually we're going to do that 231 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,880 right now because I brought that link up. 232 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:11,880 Yeah. 233 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,880 Tour-leet-us. 234 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,880 Tour-leet-us lighthouse, which is Greek. 235 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:15,880 Tour-leet-us. 236 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:16,880 Oh no. 237 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:17,880 What is, do it again. 238 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:18,880 Tour-leet-us. 239 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:19,880 Here you go. 240 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,880 That's going to go slower this time. 241 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:21,880 Tour-leet-us. 242 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,880 What? 243 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,880 Yeah. 244 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,880 One more time fast. 245 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:27,880 Tour-leet-us. 246 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:28,880 Yeah. 247 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:35,680 So I don't know what to do with that, but I've played with this before. 248 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:37,880 I've also put a name in here for it to pronounce. 249 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,880 So I'm going to go with tour-leet-us. 250 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,880 Okay, yeah. 251 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,880 Tour-leet-us. 252 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:46,880 That's as close as I can get with my skillset, which is, you know, it is what it is. 253 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,880 Amateur. 254 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,640 Amateur at best. 255 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,880 So the tour-leet-us lighthouse here has a height of 36 meters, 118 feet. 256 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:55,880 Oh, wow. 257 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,880 That's tall. 258 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,880 To the optical center. 259 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,600 I think it's, I think that's from the base of this rock because it doesn't look that 260 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,880 tall and a visible light range of 11 nautical miles. 261 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,880 Okay. 262 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,080 So it's a fair sized light. 263 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,560 It is automated right now. 264 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:13,560 Where are we? 265 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:18,480 Greece, which I didn't show you that and I meant to. 266 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,040 I think I forgot. 267 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,040 What am I? 268 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:29,320 For people that don't see the picture, it is just precariously placed on top of a bulbous, 269 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:35,440 light bulb-ish, a light bulb-esque shaped rock in the middle of ocean. 270 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,680 Also the water is very pretty. 271 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:39,560 I'm sure that's editing as well, but. 272 00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:41,940 It's pretty gorgeous part of the world. 273 00:10:41,940 --> 00:10:43,200 So we're in Greece here. 274 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,200 Okay. 275 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,600 I don't know why everything's showing in Greek, but that's fine. 276 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,000 We're going to go to the island of Andros. 277 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,000 Just south of Athens? 278 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000 Greece. 279 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000 Oh yeah, no. 280 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000 I was too far south. 281 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000 East of Athens. 282 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000 Andros. 283 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:06,000 So this is a city town and off of the coast you can see. 284 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000 Oh, I see. 285 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,000 So it's not too far out. 286 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000 Yeah, but it is quite pretty. 287 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,680 The colors are not that far off. 288 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:16,520 So it's 200 meters out, which I want to say it's 600 something feet. 289 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:21,760 We can talk about that too, but my Google is not. 290 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,240 Google is not cooperating. 291 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,240 Yeah. 292 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,240 Okay. 293 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:26,240 But it looks nice. 294 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,920 Is this, so this, the rock in this picture that you're showing, is this a low tide? 295 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,920 Yeah. 296 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:31,920 Okay. 297 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,920 Yeah, one of the lower tides. 298 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,920 And we're going to show some more photos that show more details. 299 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,920 Okay. 300 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:36,920 I'd like to see it all around. 301 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,200 This is something that I found and then edited. 302 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:45,640 So with an aura that evokes another world in time, the Toulitas Lighthouse is still credited 303 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,880 today, credited today for advancing maritime navigation for Greece's port city of Andros, 304 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,200 which I'm probably pronouncing Andros wrong. 305 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,360 Andros, I don't know. 306 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,680 The lighthouse was originally built in 1897. 307 00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:06,040 Then and now it is located just 200 meters, 656 feet off of the coast of Andros, directly 308 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,760 across from a castle. 309 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,760 Oh. 310 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,440 The castle kind of now stands in a state of deterioration. 311 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,440 Of course. 312 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,280 But it's still there. 313 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,560 The lighthouse was destroyed in World War II by the Nazis. 314 00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:18,560 What? 315 00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:23,280 But it was rebuilt and reintroduced as Greece's first automated lighthouse. 316 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,360 Oh, so what year? 317 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:27,360 1994. 318 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,360 What? 319 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,360 Yeah. 320 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:30,360 That's recent. 321 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,360 Yeah. 322 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,400 So it was eliminated by the Nazis in, I'm assuming in wartime, 1940s. 323 00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,040 It took them a long time to redo that. 324 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,520 So this is my image 01 for your own entertainment. 325 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,240 And there's still some editing going on. 326 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,960 You can tell with the colors. 327 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:54,240 Being one of the prettiest lighthouses and so weird as far as its architecture and placement, 328 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,560 a lot of the photos are edited. 329 00:12:55,560 --> 00:13:01,080 Like there's some that are red, lots of sunsets, lots of waves crashing. 330 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,760 Like tourist websites. 331 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,600 The water is a lot calmer here than I would anticipate. 332 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,200 It's not always as calm. 333 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:18,400 So that erosion, apparently, we'll talk about it, but the site was selected when that was 334 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,400 a bigger rock and that's come from water erosion. 335 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:27,320 Eventually, I'm sure it won't be there, but it is kind of a cove, but I think it sees 336 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,360 some some weather erosion over time. 337 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,920 So the lighthouse site was chosen upon a natural rock formation across from the captivating 338 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,240 Venetian castle of Andros. 339 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,920 The lighthouse had a mystical sense and style of architecture. 340 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,080 A twisted stone column that serves as the lighthouse's base features a naturally carved 341 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,480 appearance due to thousands of years of erosion. 342 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,120 Does the stairway wrap around? 343 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,040 Like can you climb up there or is it does it stop? 344 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,040 It does. 345 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,960 It comes down here as we can see and then down that way. 346 00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:00,960 Okay. 347 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120 So it doesn't continue to wrap, but it comes down pretty steeply over here. 348 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,120 All right. 349 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,920 So yeah, it's got a complete walkway up there. 350 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:12,480 So these people that are swimming here, are you allowed to visit it? 351 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,480 Not officially. 352 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,280 There is no open visitation. 353 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:16,640 You can't enter it. 354 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:18,160 So I think they're going out. 355 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,140 As we saw on the map, there's a rock. 356 00:14:21,140 --> 00:14:22,960 So this is the city comes out. 357 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,040 The castle is actually here. 358 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:26,160 And so you can go to the castle. 359 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,280 We'll talk about it and kind of look at the lighthouse really closely because it's only 360 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:31,280 600 feet. 361 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,280 Okay. 362 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,840 But these rocks are all part of the same formation. 363 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:35,840 Yeah. 364 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,940 So it's pretty shallow right there. 365 00:14:37,940 --> 00:14:39,880 So it's 200 meters out to sea. 366 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,600 It's the only structure of its kind in Europe. 367 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,560 Being that it's the only lighthouse that's built on a rock formation such as this. 368 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,680 The construction required 10 years of work. 369 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:50,680 Oh. 370 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,440 It's completed by an able seemingly amphibious team of Greek builders. 371 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,440 Amphibious? 372 00:14:55,440 --> 00:15:01,040 As part of their work, they carved a stone staircase into the rock foundation of the 373 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,040 tower. 374 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,040 Wow. 375 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,040 Yeah. 376 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,720 And then on New Year's Day of 1897, I was ready for operation and began to illuminate 377 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,320 the seas of the Mediterranean. 378 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,320 Oh, wow. 379 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:12,320 Mystical. 380 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:16,960 I think I like my writing and my copy paste writing from other sources better than I like 381 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,960 my speaking. 382 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,840 So now I'm supposed to, oh, two. 383 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:22,840 Yep. 384 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,840 Wow. 385 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,840 Another beautiful photo. 386 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:25,840 That's insane. 387 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:27,920 It's like it's defying gravity. 388 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,200 Yeah. 389 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:36,680 So they didn't, like the rock base of this lighthouse, they didn't do anything to reinforce 390 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:37,680 it? 391 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:38,680 Nope. 392 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Holy moly. 393 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:40,680 Yeah. 394 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,680 It's part of the land formation from my, I mean, my lack of knowledge, I'm guessing, 395 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,000 because it's so close to land that it's actually part of the island. 396 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:54,560 And so I'm guessing it's pretty solid because the entire city is on the water's edge. 397 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,760 So I'm guessing that the rock type there, the rock formation and the weather conditions. 398 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,080 They can trust it. 399 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,480 So I think that erosion is from a long time. 400 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:10,160 And looking at it, you can see that the lighthouse, all the weight is centered over the remainder. 401 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,040 So I wonder if it actually make it last longer to have weight on it in the center. 402 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,160 Compression and stuff going on. 403 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,400 So 10 years and the 10 year construction was 1897. 404 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,920 It was much faster in the nineties, although I didn't find the exact amount of time. 405 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,920 The restoration. 406 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,520 So the restoration in the nineties was done to make it look as close as they could to 407 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:28,640 the original lighthouse. 408 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,720 So the same style has been there forever. 409 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,720 Cool. 410 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,720 Forever. 411 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,720 I enjoy that. 412 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,280 The lighthouse successfully lit the way for ships traveling for nearly 50 years before 413 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,800 it met an untimely fate. 414 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:39,800 Oh. 415 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,120 Neither an unwieldy sorcerer nor a hot tempered sea dragon destroyed the castle. 416 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,240 Rather it was German bombs, which left nothing behind other than ruins and a scaffold tower 417 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,240 in its wake. 418 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,240 Wow. 419 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,240 I did not write that. 420 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,240 I look good. 421 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,280 That's a, that's a carried over quote. 422 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,020 So that was a world war two times. 423 00:17:01,020 --> 00:17:02,020 It was destroyed. 424 00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:03,020 There was nothing left. 425 00:17:03,020 --> 00:17:08,520 Um, a half century later, I found this source that said, many sources said this guy was 426 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,940 a Greek oil tycoon, but other ones said he was a shipping tycoon. 427 00:17:13,940 --> 00:17:18,120 So I looked into it and then the last name of the family is another name. 428 00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:22,360 I'm going to butcher G O U L A N D R S. 429 00:17:22,360 --> 00:17:25,560 So Gourland is the last name of this family. 430 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,920 But we'll talk about them, but I believe it's a shipping tycoon cause I read some history. 431 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,400 Apparently this, this guy, his, his name is Alexandros. 432 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:40,120 This man, his family went at least three generations before him in shipping all based out of Greece. 433 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:44,600 Like the history was like, they bought a single boat and then they bought two boats. 434 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:45,600 Then they sold the boats. 435 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:46,600 They bought seven boats. 436 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,840 Then there was an economic crash. 437 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,680 Then they bought five boats. 438 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,480 Then they had a boat built for them that could haul extra heavy weight. 439 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,600 And so this long family history of shipping that he was a part of. 440 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:04,400 So a half century later, 1990s, the Greek shipping tycoon courted to me, Alexandros Goulandis 441 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,200 Goulandis decided to fund the restoration of the lighthouse tower. 442 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,680 Nice seeking to celebrate the memory of his deceased daughter. 443 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:16,040 The Alanda Goulandis funded the rebuilding of the lighthouse and dedicated it in her 444 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,040 name. 445 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:18,040 That's wonderful. 446 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,040 What a beautiful story. 447 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,040 I couldn't, I couldn't find anything about her. 448 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,560 I didn't know her age. 449 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:27,120 He was, I think he was born in the seven sixties or seventies. 450 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,160 So she would have been young probably. 451 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,160 Yeah. 452 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:34,200 It opened in 1994, the new lighthouse. 453 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,920 The present tour lightest lighthouse. 454 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,940 This one is a replica of the original serving not only as an enchanting beacon to behold, 455 00:18:41,940 --> 00:18:45,000 but an everlasting token of a father's love. 456 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:51,320 In 1995, the inauguration of the restoration of the tour lightest lighthouse in its original 457 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:56,760 shape took place during a special ceremony at the Revias place. 458 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,360 My pronunciation is off the charts in the island of Andros. 459 00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:04,920 It is a great monument to the Greek maritime tradition that survived thanks to initiatives 460 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,480 of the Goulandis family in memory of their daughter. 461 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,760 Do you know how much it ended up costing? 462 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:10,760 Didn't say. 463 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,440 I think it was a private deal. 464 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,320 So I don't, it's still operable. 465 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,060 It's an automated lighthouse. 466 00:19:17,060 --> 00:19:23,200 It was, I forgot to put it in my notes, but it was, it told me the fuel it operated on 467 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,720 for a long time. 468 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,520 Now it's electric, electric and fully, fully automated. 469 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:29,520 No keepers are there. 470 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:30,520 It's a active guide. 471 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:31,520 It is. 472 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,520 Yeah. 473 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,720 So this port, this port is more, it's still used for shipping, the Andros port. 474 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:44,440 It's probably more used for less commercial because the world has gotten bigger since 475 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,720 Greece has been around a long time. 476 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,200 Let's put it that way. 477 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,160 But it's, it's still an active guide to navigation. 478 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,600 I don't know if it's publicly owned. 479 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,720 Like I don't know if the government owns it or if the Goulandis family owns it because 480 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,000 it's not accessible. 481 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000 Like you can, they're not going to, I can't say this. 482 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,280 They, there's no tourism to the, to the lighthouse. 483 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,720 You don't get a guided tour or something, get a boat out there. 484 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,800 So he was born in 1927 and he died in 2017. 485 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:18,680 He went off on his own in 1952 and originally and eventually had 40 ships of his own. 486 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,680 Holy cow. 487 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,680 That's a lot. 488 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,000 He died in 2017, was buried next to his wife in the first cemetery of Athens. 489 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,080 It'd be an awesome place to be buried. 490 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,000 He was noted, but very private art collector and philanthropist. 491 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,920 So I don't think, I think this fit right in. 492 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:33,920 Yeah. 493 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:34,920 Yeah. 494 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:35,920 I agree. 495 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:36,920 Kind of neat. 496 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,520 I wanted to show you a Google review of the lighthouse. 497 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,920 4.8 out of five. 498 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,320 I liked your reviews. 499 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,440 This guy be brave. 500 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,240 It's an easy scramble across the old arch bridge to the Venetian fortress. 501 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,440 And from there you can see the tour latest lighthouse. 502 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,520 You can see his picture. 503 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,560 Look at that. 504 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,560 Whoa. 505 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:58,560 Yeah. 506 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,040 So that's the arch and I'll get you a better view here in a minute. 507 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,400 Also look at the gorgeous water. 508 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,800 You're supposed to call, you're supposed to scramble across that to get, to get to the 509 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,960 flag is where the castle was. 510 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,040 Wait, oh, so by disrepair, you mean it's not there anymore. 511 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,040 It's ruins. 512 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,040 Yeah. 513 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,040 Oh, okay. 514 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,040 Sorry. 515 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,240 I did think it was like a full size castle. 516 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,520 No, but still it's still pretty neat. 517 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:31,240 But I am going to show you, this is the website for the lower castle of Andros. 518 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,880 So this shows the island. 519 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,480 So this shows the arch we just looked at. 520 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:35,480 Oh my gosh. 521 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,440 I would much rather, there's this very tiny amount of water there. 522 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,440 I would just swim. 523 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,440 Yeah. 524 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,080 How would you get, I suppose you could scramble. 525 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,200 If you're falling, you're falling into water, I guess. 526 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,840 So you're not falling like hundreds of feet. 527 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,960 That is very, that's rock right under the water. 528 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,520 So I think this is part of the castle and then there's a fish. 529 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:03,160 You can continue on this bridge to, this was also like a watch tower. 530 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,160 That was part of the castle. 531 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,240 I didn't read too much history here, obviously, but this is the rock formation that continues 532 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,040 out in the lighthouse is right out of view. 533 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:11,040 Don't worry. 534 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,040 It's here. 535 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,040 Oh, just peeking in. 536 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,040 Yeah. 537 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,400 The idea is that, you know, these go, it's on Google, it's like 4.8 out of five stars. 538 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,240 So you can go visit the castle and then from there you can see the best view of the lighthouse 539 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:26,240 itself. 540 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:27,240 Yeah. 541 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:32,080 It's a, you would think 600 feet is not so bad, but it looks pretty far. 542 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,080 Yeah. 543 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,080 Yeah. 544 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,080 I would just want to swim over there. 545 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,560 I think it'd be cool if you had really calm waters, like these are showing to like see 546 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:39,960 kayak out to it. 547 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:40,960 Yeah. 548 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,960 Kayak. 549 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:42,960 That's a good idea. 550 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,960 There's videos of boats. 551 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:49,400 So one of the videos I found several other videos I found had my heart will go on by 552 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,960 Celine Dion as the music like, do do do do. 553 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:54,960 Why? 554 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,320 It's a very romantic place, I guess. 555 00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,400 But I want to go to Greece. 556 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,400 Look at this. 557 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,200 This is the town that's built out onto the peninsula. 558 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,880 And then there's the castle. 559 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:10,200 The town goes to every like uses every little bit of rock on that little penitentiary. 560 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,200 Awesome. 561 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:12,840 Well, and the island is not small. 562 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,400 They, I mean, and it's not like it's not been there for very long. 563 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,520 This rock, this rock is very trustworthy. 564 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:19,520 Yeah. 565 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,160 And here's the watch tower we're looking at. 566 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,160 And then the lighthouse. 567 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,160 Very cool. 568 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:25,160 It's the whole. 569 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,160 Wow. 570 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:27,480 What a neat looking lighthouse. 571 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,720 So I found it right when really right when we started, nice picture, right when we started 572 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,800 our podcast. 573 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,800 So it's been a long time. 574 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:39,240 I've had this one in my pocket and there's not a ton to say about it that I could find. 575 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,960 There's probably a book out there that has a lot of interesting history on who built 576 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,000 it and how and restorations and stories. 577 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,000 Yeah. 578 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,960 For now, it's a, it's one of the most beautiful and I'll go back to the image. 579 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:53,320 I really enjoyed this image. 580 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,320 Yeah, that's very nice. 581 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,320 Nice background picture. 582 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,920 Kind of goes with the colors of our podcast icon. 583 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,080 I think this will probably be the thumbnail. 584 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,160 Should have based it on that. 585 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,840 So, but let me, while we're here, if you've got patience for me, I'm going to Google again, 586 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,040 but you'll see, that's what I was going to say. 587 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,000 All the pictures are like, look at this. 588 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000 Like I was looking at this picture. 589 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000 Oh yeah. 590 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,320 Which is a large picture and I'm sure it's edited. 591 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:16,320 Oh very much so. 592 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,480 I can book now for just $51 for the members rate. 593 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,480 To stare at it or for this website. 594 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,040 I'm just going to hit okay. 595 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,080 Sign on my life away. 596 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,080 Fantastical. 597 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,080 Wow. 598 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,960 That, yeah, I like that one. 599 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:33,560 But there has been, I did see some photos that have like, you know, pretty, I don't 600 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,560 believe that's photoshopped. 601 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,560 No, I think that's, yeah. 602 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,560 Huh. 603 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,560 So. 604 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:39,560 Very nice. 605 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,560 This one's definitely real. 606 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,560 Yeah. 607 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,560 Not rendered at all. 608 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:43,560 That's pretty. 609 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:44,560 It's a great lighthouse. 610 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,560 That's a good one. 611 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:46,560 Yeah, very pretty. 612 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:51,920 So one of the most beautiful and I found some other lists. 613 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,920 Here's some water splashing for you. 614 00:24:54,920 --> 00:25:00,800 I found some other lists that don't include this one. 615 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,800 So a little bit scandalous. 616 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,280 Wait, what do you mean lists? 617 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,120 Lists of the top 10 lighthouses in the world that are most beautiful that don't include 618 00:25:09,120 --> 00:25:10,120 the Andros lighthouse. 619 00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:11,120 Well, they're just uneducated. 620 00:25:11,120 --> 00:25:14,120 Yeah, they don't even know. 621 00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:18,160 So you can see it's actually a really high quality photo. 622 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,160 That is a little beacon. 623 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,160 Oh, so cute. 624 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,720 So no more Fresnel lens up there. 625 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,120 Just probably a blinker. 626 00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:28,840 Which I can't imagine that's visible from 11 miles, but I guess at best conditions probably 627 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:29,840 is. 628 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,200 And 11 miles is not up there. 629 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,760 What do we usually see for range? 630 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:35,760 20, 30? 631 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,560 I think the average is about 17. 632 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:38,560 Okay. 633 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,160 And we've seen like 22 nautical miles. 634 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:43,160 So. 635 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,160 Yeah. 636 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,200 This would not be a day you could convince me to go out there. 637 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,240 Oh, no. 638 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:49,960 You definitely roll out of your kayak. 639 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,240 You can see the backside of the staircase going down the opposite direction. 640 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,840 But that's all I got. 641 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,840 Very neat. 642 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:58,840 That's a good selection. 643 00:25:58,840 --> 00:25:59,840 Yeah. 644 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:00,840 I can't wait to hear. 645 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:01,840 Another international. 646 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:02,840 Yep. 647 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,520 I got a couple other episodes coming up soon. 648 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:06,840 One will have guests on it. 649 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,800 You don't know everything about that. 650 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,280 Some others you don't know anything about. 651 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,280 So yeah, I'm in the dark. 652 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,280 Excited. 653 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,200 Now I know how you feel. 654 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,280 Confused all the time. 655 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,080 We do have an active sponsor still. 656 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,080 I want to mention. 657 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,880 I think they're active through March. 658 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,800 March 30th or something. 659 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:27,800 Yeah. 660 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,040 The end of March, maybe into April. 661 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:34,100 But our sponsor is newegg.com. 662 00:26:34,100 --> 00:26:39,320 And so newegg.com sells, they spell lots of things, but they sell computer parts. 663 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:45,760 They sell gaming kits, headphones, mouses, which I found is the right way to say it. 664 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,720 Mouses, not mice. 665 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:48,840 Oh. 666 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:49,840 Not live mice. 667 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,840 Computer mouses, sorry. 668 00:26:50,840 -->
