We have arrived at the Azores and had to get all the diving gear out.
Karina are leaving us today.
Sorry, tomorrow morning...
And wanted to have a test dive.
So the boat is upside down.
Cause we needed to take everything out of my cabin so we could get all the diving gear from below the floor.
So we could get ourselves ready for some diving.
Hej!
Hej!
And someone are ventilation their cabin...
It's probably a good thing Mette isn't here right now.
Cause it's REALLY messy!
Lot's of stuff everywhere.
What do you think Mette would say to a messy boat like this?
Well.... if we have a valid reason I think she would let us, but....
As long as we have it tidied up before she comes home.
We promise to do that Mette!
We'll make sure it's nice when you come home.
What are you doing Maj?
I'm tidying up... I can't stand it any more.
So now I tidying and cleaning.
Shout out to Mette!
(mumbling)
I would really like it to be done properly, but we can not to that before everyone....
So now I am just trying to make it liveable.
At least in here.
Nice. Whould you do that in my room as well?
I feel I'm tidyind up for enough people.
Hmm....
Ehhh why is this so difficult?
And this is what my bed looks like because we needed all the diving gear out.
So where am I going to sleep tonight?
I'm actually on my way back to Denmark.
The reason being....
That my dad is turning 60.
My dad is one of those people that really likes to celebrate his birthday.
And I....
Know what that feels like.
And I know that it really means a lot to him.
And I was travelling when he turned 50.
And....
And now he is turning 60. And then I wasn't there - again.
So I decided that as I wasn't that far away I could go and surprise him.
So right now I am sitting at a hotel.
I left Moana and the crew.
And it was with very mixed emotions cause...
We just arrived there and we were all really excited.
And we just wanted to see it all. Go diving and exploring.
And I'm so jealous that the others get a head start.
And that I will miss out on seeing the others start om their dive training.
But...
Never the less. I am going home to surprise my dad.
And I think that he will be really surprised!
At least I am looking SO forward to seeing his reaction.
I am in Dusseldorf right now. I had a stopover here.
In the morning I am flying to Denmark.
My mom will pick me up.
And we are going to surprise him.
I am in Denmark now.
It feels really strange....
It feel surreal to use 5-6 weeks to get to the Azores and then in the blink of an eye you are back home.
Now you are filming me filming you. That's a strange video.
It is just about to happen.
My heart is racing!
We will be picked up in 10 minutes.
And we have made a plan.
It's a little "rainy", so I will bring an umbrella.
My dad thinks that he is picking up my mom and her friend.
So when we walk towards the bus that is picking us up.
Then I will have the umbrella to cover me.
I will be in front and then my mom will be right behind me filming.
And then when I get close enough and he gets out of the bus, I'll remove the umbrella so he can see me.
That's the plan. We'll see how it goes.
Hiii....
Here comes my present!
Whaaaaaaaaaaat!?!? Your kidding me!?
Mette, you didn't!?
Are you kidding me?
But you are at the Azores....!?
Mette, Mette, Mette.....
How happy I am yo see you!
No, no, no. no....
Catch of the day...
This is for the crew.
Cheers Moana!
Cheers Moana. And your crew!
Both the old crew and the new.
And to you and Mikael.
Hi darling.
Now let me hear. How was it?
It was fantastic!
It was crazy. How could do it?
Were you surprised?
Oh yes! Very surprised!
Did you have a good day?
A really good day. You made it good!
It seemed like....
It was crazy!
... that it exceeded your...
For sure. I had no expectations in that direction.
So I was extremely happy.
Thank you so much.
I'm glad I could make your day special.
Now that I wasn't there the last time.
Say hallo to my son in law.
Will do!
Johannes! Is "mom" coming home?
"Mom" is home!
I missed you guys.
We missed you too.
Did you enjoy being home?
I really did.
Look forward to showing you the videos.
I nearly gave my dad a heart attack.
How is it going Mette?
Oh, I'm just hoping it'll end well.
We're giving it a third try with the dinghy setup (davits).
I'm just hoping it's going to be a success.
I just really hope it's going to the last headache we have with the dinghy. And that it just works!
And that when we leave the port it just works.
That would be really great!
It sounds like...
It sounds like they know what they're doing.
...they are trying! Trying to figure it out.
It sound like they get the project.
Yes. Of all the things we have been through with that dinghy this is the one I have most confidence in.
For the time being I'm at peace.
Am I the only one without a cocktail? What the fuck!
The world is upside down!
Just drink it from your biceps in stead.
That's going to fail...
What are we watching? Here they come....
Dolphines...
They are really close!
New regulator. With a white hose.
I reserve the right to be a little girly.
White and white.
New diving computer.
What are you doing?
I' writing in my log. Im logging my dives.
But you have to do that every time cause I simply can't remember what happened.
We had out first dive on the 14th. And then I'm pretty sure we had two dives the day after.
Because now we are certified Open Water Divers. And almost Advanced....
Let's do the...
The other hand.
I'm using that hand.
Swop hands.
Mads. what is going on?
We going for some ice cream.
What kind of ice cream?
We going for the Oreo ice cream. If they have it restocked.
What's up?
We are gonna have ice cream.
Are you excited?
Yes!
Are you allowed to eat ice cream so close to your bed time?
Probably not. But my mom isn't here so it doesn't matter.
One of the great dilemmas in life.
Where is that ice cream?
Mikael, did you take it from here? The Oreo Ice cream.
Yes!
So you did the the last one you bastard.
It's the worst day ever!
Authentic ice from the Azores.
Pineapple with pineapple ice cream.
It's the most awesome cake ever. (Yes he did find one :))
Is it good?
Yes.
It's really good!
We are headed out for a dive.
There is suppose to be a nice fishing spot that it also a diving spot.
Situated in the middle of nowhere.
So there is neither rocks, corals, or anything.
And it is also too deep to anchor.
But there is suppose to be some potentially nice things to see.
So we are sailing Moana out there and leaving the dinghy in the habour.
And then we throw out some anchor chain. About 20 meters.
And then one person stays on the boat and the others jump in the water and holds on to the chain.
So that you have a reference point.
And then you stay there and watch. And hopefully see something nice.
How was it?
It was a bit strange.
It was strange but funny to try.
But you're just hanging there doing nothing.
Then we filmed a little.
But didn't really know when to film.
And then we were down sitting on the anchor.
So you just hang there waiting. Until you start freezing.
Or until we didn't have any more air.
So finally we decided to go up.
What does Mette think?
It was.....
It was fun.
And a little boring.
And a little strange.
But also pretty.
And also a little crazy.
I know that I am new to this and I might be the reason I'm so easy to impress.
But I thought it was really magical just hanging in that chain.
It was very meditatively. All that blue surrounding you.
When there is... how long to the bottom? 3 km?
(There was actually only 200 meters)
And the only reference point you have is your buddy and the anchor chain and.....
The boat above you.
The only thing you actually really see is the sun and the waves.
I thought it was pretty magical.
Hallo...! You three...
Was passiert? (German for "What is happening?"
Was passiert.... Haha...
Oreo shakes!
Oreo shakes is happening.
Can you even get them in Denmark?
On Burgerking in Denmark? Do you know?
Or is it only in Portugal?
Is that just your favorite thing?
Oreo shake and chili cheese....
...tops.
That is the best dessert.
When you have got sushi and pizza as the main course.
You don't really feel like doing it huh....
See you Mads.
Have a great sail to the Caribbean.
Thanks!
Hopefully we'll see you there.
Hopefully we'll see each other out there.
(We're mumbling a bit - but the boys pretty much just asked us not to send too many nice Snaps,only catch really small fish and have boring dives)
We really can't promises that actually.
Nope!
