00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:29,718
All right. Probably the best spot here,
actually. That's just got...
337
00:24:29,801 --> 00:24:32,179
-This looks like the best spot to you?
-DWAYNE: This is the best we've come to.
338
00:24:32,262 --> 00:24:34,306
-WILL: Whoa. I'm gonna let you go first.
-Well, we'll just head...
339
00:24:34,556 --> 00:24:36,725
-I'll help you from the bottom. Go.
-(LAUGHS) Oh, jeez.
340
00:24:36,808 --> 00:24:38,393
All right, so, you got
loads of handholds here,
341
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:40,353
loads of places to put your foot.
And I'll hold it.
342
00:24:40,437 --> 00:24:42,564
-WILL: Oh, you're holding it there.
-DWAYNE: Yeah, yeah. Go on. Get up there.
343
00:24:42,647 --> 00:24:43,857
-(GRUNTS)
-DWAYNE: Good.
344

(WILL GRUNTING)
345
00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:53,241
DWAYNE: There's a ledge.
346
00:24:55,202 --> 00:24:56,703
-Can you see it?
-WILL: Yeah.
347
00:25:00,457 --> 00:25:02,334
DWAYNE: Uh, hold fire. I'm coming up.
348
00:25:04,085 --> 00:25:07,255
Yeah, I didn't understand
the me going up first, but I get it.
349
00:25:09,174 --> 00:25:10,342
How's it looking?
350
00:25:10,509 --> 00:25:12,135
-WILL: Not too bad.
-Yeah?
351
00:25:12,260 --> 00:25:13,345
Not too bad.

(DWAYNE GRUNTS)
353
00:25:24,814 --> 00:25:28,693
So... the key thing here is to know
what's coming, if you can.
354
00:25:28,902 --> 00:25:30,862
The bugs in your eyes
definitely don't help.
355
00:25:30,987 --> 00:25:32,697
No. No, they don't.

DWAYNE: This stretch of river
is known as Stuðlagil Canyon.
359
00:25:48,046 --> 00:25:50,173
It was only discovered a few years ago.
360
00:25:51,049 --> 00:25:53,969
And as far as I know,
no one has kayaked through it.
361
00:25:56,346 --> 00:25:58,932
So, what comes next is new territory.
362
00:26:02,018 --> 00:26:03,895
What can you tell
by looking at that river?
363
00:26:13,613 --> 00:26:14,823
WILL: Um...
364
00:26:15,865 --> 00:26:17,659
it looks like it's going faster...
365
00:26:17,742 --> 00:26:19,661
-Yeah.
-...to the left.
366
00:26:19,869 --> 00:26:21,329
-And then kinda sweeping back around...
-Yeah.
367
00:26:21,413 --> 00:26:22,914
...going slower up to the right.
368
00:26:24,958 --> 00:26:28,211
Since it's going faster,
I guess, it seems like it's speeding up.
369

-DWAYNE: Absolutely.
-WILL: Yeah.
370
00:26:29,588 --> 00:26:31,881
Looking at the fact
that it goes to the right,
371
00:26:31,965 --> 00:26:34,050
I don't think we wanna go to the right.
372
00:26:34,718 --> 00:26:36,261
-It could be shallower.
-WILL: Yeah.
373
00:26:36,386 --> 00:26:38,597
-DWAYNE: It could have more rocks in it.
-WILL: Oh, got it.
374
00:26:38,722 --> 00:26:40,140
-We're more likely to get jammed.
-DWAYNE: Yes.
375
00:26:40,307 --> 00:26:42,350
-But if the water's going faster...
-Yeah, yeah.
376
00:26:42,892 --> 00:26:45,854
...isn't there a possibility
that there's another waterfall?
377
00:26:45,937 --> 00:26:47,772
There is.
There is always that possibility.
378
00:26:47,939 --> 00:26:51,776
WILL: Does that mean
that we wanna go up to the right?
379
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:53,486
DWAYNE: No, to the left.
380
00:26:55,363 --> 00:26:57,824
Do you have another boat?
Like, what if I disagreed

-and, like, if I wanted to go... (LAUGHS)

A river like this is predictable.
383
00:27:06,708 --> 00:27:09,336
But I suspect the only way
he'll learn this for himself
384
00:27:09,419 --> 00:27:10,754
is if he takes the helm.

-DWAYNE: Yes!

So, we're gonna stay...
we're gonna try to stay in the center.
403
00:28:37,173 --> 00:28:39,175
We got a little V happening up there.
404
00:28:39,342 --> 00:28:41,261
Yeah. I guess, we're gonna
take our nose right into that V.

coming from the right into the center.

All right. Give me a little paddle,
'cause we're slowing down a little bit.

there's a logic to everything.

being capable of this. But I did it.

We've arrived.

I know it doesn't sound like a big thing,
to be able to find an ocean.

But for me, that was big.

Look how strong, and great, and powerful."

you can get to the end.

-it's the journey that counts.
-WILL: Hmm.
472
00:32:19,938 --> 00:32:23,066

it's the experiencing it.

of this journey was simple.

Get out of my comfort zone...
connect with the planet...

and hopefully, inspire others
to do the same.
