A few things I noticed:
- When Clarkson tried to go under the bridge and bent the radar antenna, he claimed it broke the satnav. His "navigation system" was an iPad, you can see it in a closeup shot earlier. It has all the GPS gubbins built in, obviously. Not sure if the radar antenna is real or fake.
- May claimed his boat had a "99hp four cylinder diesel" but they dubbed over the original Yanmar engine sound with a silly 1-cylinder diesel thump to make it sound more vintage or whatever. You can hear the real engine when he's messing around trying to pick up the pillow.
- Every person that's spent any length of time around boats has had to turn around and go recover something that blew off. These things happen.
A pike pole is one of the most important tools you can have onboard, and not just for picking up that pillow. It's also absolutely necessary when mooring.
- I was really surprised to see that May's boat was a
Petterssonbåt, named after its Swedish inventor, C G Pettersson. They're beautiful works of art.
- What the hell are they doing going out in any kind of weather in an open boat? Get something with a roof, for christs sake
- Clarkson claimed he installed an air conditioning system, but what he really did was, I think, put the inside unit outside and run the big white exhaust hose into the cabin. Turn it on and you'll extract heat and moisture from all of Cambodia and feed it into the sleeping cabin. Unless the AC machine he bought has a reverse gear of sorts, of course.
