This is Epic!
an epic adventure
a moment of truth
a wild ride
Oh My God!
sliding on ice
still moving, still moving
HAHAHAHAHA!
amazing!
every moment counts
right into the belly of the beast
we’re going to get our gold
we’re either all in or all out
a circular pattern
ship is adrift
keep pulling, keep pulling
expect the unexpected
forecast is bad
decide to give it one more shot
we don’t want her to sink today
Oh My Gosh!
unpredictable current too strong for them
an urgent call
Good job!
gold in Greenland
it’s going 
she’s underway
recover the anchor & chain
Do or die
we’re loggers--not psychiatrists
he’s full of piss & vinegar
we’re getting beat up in this boat
at the mercy of the elements
the gold feeling
I’m good—we’re out of here
Let’s do it!
muddy seabed
sleep on that for awhile
a dinghy…coming straight through to y’all
he’s seen enough
the clock ticks
searching for a golden shipwreck
we’re losing air
every moment counts
what the hell is going on?
I ain’t gonna die
running out of time
forecast is bad
closure not an option
It’s go time!
[Forget] this!


search or die for amazing shipwrecks a murky epic feeling Good wildmen don’t sleep on the job semi gold is adrift every time chasing jackknifed cows on icy roads Oh my Cow! epic absurdity searching for sinking gold dissolving in viral weather optional closure in Greenland Oh the frozen minds inexplicably adrift streaming viral weather going in no time yet on time? divers wave at epic forecasters amazing rescue slide on highways thru hell a race against the elements in these scenes of Reality
