about three weeks ago

727
00:50:32,812 --> 00:50:34,727
when you considered
quitting

728
00:50:34,770 --> 00:50:37,121
and taking off
to New Zealand.

729
00:50:39,079 --> 00:50:41,299
No, I've already
passed it.

730
00:50:41,342 --> 00:50:43,127
But it's
been bothering me

731
00:50:43,170 --> 00:50:46,043
since I left
Bora Bora.

732
00:50:46,086 --> 00:50:49,829
It's somewhere
I always wanted to go.

733
00:50:49,872 --> 00:50:51,091
I could do it,

734
00:50:51,135 --> 00:50:53,050
I could just
sail there.

735
00:50:53,093 --> 00:50:54,529
So you could.

736
00:50:54,573 --> 00:50:57,010
Then why don't you?

737
00:50:57,054 --> 00:50:59,317
I just couldn't.

738
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:01,754
I truly can't imagine
that the record attempt

739
00:51:01,797 --> 00:51:04,365
doesn't interest you
a tiny little bit.

740
00:51:04,409 --> 00:51:06,106
Not for other people,

741
00:51:06,150 --> 00:51:06,802
but wouldn't it be a rush
if you achieved it?

742
00:51:06,846 --> 00:51:08,021
Yeah,

743
00:51:08,065 --> 00:51:09,022
Sure.

744
00:51:12,765 --> 00:51:14,288
I wouldn't be
surprised

745
00:51:14,332 --> 00:51:15,420
if you're
in a history book

746
00:51:15,463 --> 00:51:16,856
a hundred years
from now.

747
00:51:16,899 --> 00:51:18,814
Well I don't care.

748
00:51:18,858 --> 00:51:21,513
That--that doesn't interest
me at all.

749
00:51:21,556 --> 00:51:22,992
I asked myself,

750
00:51:23,036 --> 00:51:24,864
"Can you
do this?"

751
00:51:24,907 --> 00:51:26,692
And I answered,

752
00:51:26,735 --> 00:51:28,041
"I'm going
to try."

753
00:51:28,085 --> 00:51:29,390
So I'm curious
if I can,

754
00:51:29,434 --> 00:51:30,783
and if
I make it,

755
00:51:30,826 --> 00:51:32,306
then I know
I can.

756
00:51:32,350 --> 00:51:35,135
Then I've crossed
a boundary.

757
00:51:35,179 --> 00:51:37,181
That is
my only goal.

758
00:51:46,668 --> 00:51:48,017
I am cleaning

759
00:51:48,061 --> 00:51:51,673
because my father
is coming tomorrow.

760
00:51:51,717 --> 00:51:54,154
How do you feel
about it?

761
00:51:54,198 --> 00:51:55,329
Great.

762
00:52:00,117 --> 00:52:01,857
It sucks.

763
00:52:01,901 --> 00:52:02,858
Yeah, but why?

764
00:52:02,902 --> 00:52:04,033
In the beginning
of the trip,

765
00:52:04,077 --> 00:52:05,731
you often miss
your parents.

766
00:52:05,774 --> 00:52:07,124
Of course.

767
00:52:07,167 --> 00:52:10,170
Yeah, but now you
don't miss them as much.

768
00:52:10,214 --> 00:52:12,477
Look, I haven't seen my dad
in a really long time,

769
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,826
so I don't miss
him anymore.

770
00:52:13,869 --> 00:52:17,351
No, yeah that's--that's
also, yeah.

771
00:52:17,395 --> 00:52:19,962
That's also a possibility,
but isn't it also part

772
00:52:20,006 --> 00:52:22,269
of growing up
that you are--

773
00:52:22,313 --> 00:52:24,619
Probably, but could you just
shut up for a moment?

No. Thank you.

Is it also because--

Why can't people stop it
