But to make it interesting, Discovery films the very high points and the very low points.

I think the misconception where a lot of these people think that they could do this, is we do film a TV show. What do you think Discovery falls short of getting across to audiences that you could only fully experience if you were there on the boat? It's just another problem to resolve in one way or another, so this was definitely a lesson in problem-solving.ĭiscovery surely shows audiences some pretty intense experiences on the series, but some audiences might think they can handle what they're seeing on-screen. And after doing it for 40 some years, it's not just another day. So we always have, everybody always has mechanical, you have crew problems, you have weather. You either go over them, around them, or through them. I did it, but out of necessity because of having the film crews and my guys.īut I guess the lesson for me is, I've always lived my life this way, the problems are hurdles. It's two or three different forms, and I mean, I did it. AIDS, heart disease, all this other stuff that even some of the older vaccinations that we developed and they spent years and decades trying to develop stuff, and all of a sudden this hits and we've been what, a year? We have a vaccine that we want to give to the world. We've tried to fight some pretty serious diseases. There's a lot of things about the pandemic that concerned me. And I leased the place for two weeks because it was right when the virus and the plan came out, they were thinking, "Oh, this is going to be over in a couple of weeks," and how wrong that was. I have some cars and golf clubs and all that stuff here because I spend a lot of time in the Southeast when I'm off the boat now. And the funny thing is, I got off the boat last year, flew to South Carolina, and leased a house. Well, the degree of difficulty that it added makes you look back and think how, not how easy some of the other seasons were, but how much easier they came together. Not at all to make light of the pandemic in any respect, but did the challenges you faced come with some unexpected opportunities that you wouldn't have experienced otherwise? Or did you take away any new appreciations for your profession?
