hello welcome to Kate's Ag today I'm here in Snaptune Denmark headed to Endalave Island to
visit farming friends that my family from Montana knows very well and I will be visiting farms and
learning about agriculture in Denmark so I hope to take you along with me and I hope you enjoy
[Music]
now I'm here with the captain of the boat we're on yeah hello my name is Thorlief Johannes
I'm a captain on this ferry in the label that is just amazing and where did we take off from
to go from town of Arbor called
it's very beautiful and we also pass by some islands and what were they called
um the name is yanu and now we are on the the room for in the labor
that is awesome and it's an island with quite a lot of farms would I be correct not too many
farms but actually it's a small rabbits oh really it's more more like 50 000 rabbits oh my goodness
yes so in the morning and evening you will see a lot of rabbits everywhere on the roads in the
gardens oh well that would be so fun oh very nice probably not good for vegetable growing
no but that cannot talk about the the farm was about yes yeah the eating everything is green
and how do you enjoyed doing the ferry trips oh I'm relaxing a little bit and then after all
the other ships because I have a lot of pressure ships on the sea on this and summertime yes and do
you ever have to take the ferry off of autopilot to avoid any of course traffic yes of course of
course but we prefer the use of autopilot because let's make a little more oh for sure yeah also
the soup is more steady on the on that trip oh I never thought about that I have autopilot in the
tractor's I drive and I very much enjoy that that yeah you have to correct all the time if
you uh yeah on the wheel a great advancement in technology yeah because the whole time was one
sitting Helms Man Standing on the real all the time and sticking the ship and then the captain
was staying uh either away and then they shout to a very small to Starbucks or something like
that and then yes but now we have only one other pitch at the time so we have all this equipment to
help us and are you the only captain no we are two and a half actually we're going back to back one
week on one week off okay and then we have some holidays we have another one who's jumping up and
down in the as a chief mate and then captain from time to time and how many Ferry rides do you do a
day between two and four trips a day that's quite a lot oh it's okay but it's still between 10 and
13 hours work a day yeah yeah very much and you so you can drive your car on the
ferry but I also noticed when before we got on there was a tractor that drove off yeah
a tiny house some of the owners are all the tiny house so it was behind the track for now
that track had to go back oh that's so cool do farmers ever use the ferry to move equipment yeah
not super often though no but actually they have some grains from time to time they have to sell
now and also sometimes they have some cows going for the birdship which is oh
wow and they all ride here yeah in a box um yes sheep sometimes also that's really
neat yeah so there would be cows and sheep on the island as well yes and also small horses
for me so we call them oh my goodness that's so cool on the on the Eastern top of the island and
you have some area who have where you hold try to hold down the invitation with the cheap and
um horses yeah and then just walk between them because really the only way to get to the island
is by fairy yeah how old is he and so what are you doing right now oh that's correcting the cross a
little bit oh okay does it automatically correct the course for wind nope it's
uh owner hold the direction and if you go in here we should be up yes
and you have a sitting at here you also have to take care of oh are they all tracked all of the
yeah if they bought this equipment AIS automatic Innovation systems yes we can see them by this one
and if they don't have to use the radar and we can see all the objects above the water that's
very helpful now yeah even yeah when you have Fork you can't see anything oh yeah oh wow so
you have to have kind of an instrument rating yeah we have this a lot of like a path I can see wow or
do you need to know how to use it because yeah you have to adjust it correctly because you can remove
rain and big waves and then small object will also disappear so you'll need special training
yeah a little training does it make it a bit more scary maybe a little bit
is it um really tough talking about or yeah it's a little more complicated probably yeah
or slow because you can't see so long and this of course is really accurate but it's still maybe two
three meters off what you really want to be so so how many people does this Ferry hold we can have
245 in the summertime okay and how many vehicles uh 20. you can hold quite a few people then yeah
but if you're smaller cars probably a lot of the European class with like 20 but I think you're
good at American cars you maybe 15. yeah they are much larger there's more longer on the small ones
only three meters but 3.20 meters yeah I goes and what you call them and how big is the island I
don't know exactly the length but I know you can walk around the island around 21 kilometers okay
a lot of a lot of the time
and go with the bicycles if you want also are you from this area uh what is area because in
Denmark everything is so small so I grew up more like 80 kilometers from here and now I live on
the islands so it's more 40 kilos 14 kilometers to the South okay so so fairly close close it depends
it's white but yeah but I think in America you don't think about 500 kilometers no not at all
the handle for the shuttle okay so when we are going alongside we can turn them around
okay and then you have to thrust it to the sides and follow us we have two of them two in one end
both sisters and this is from the front Okay it's uh right first channel wow and what is this this
is the automatic pilot that's very nice yeah was it very difficult to learn how to operate this it
depends yeah for someone is difficult to learn to drive a car for other people it's very easy
so yes same idea it's it's it can be difficult do you enjoy it yeah I work here if well for
many years I'd say so yeah that's amazing I don't know but anyway do you enjoy staying on the island
oh very true on this on the same summer time we have 13 hours of work so we have 11 hours
off and you need to eat and shower and sleep so does the boat create big wig for the sailboats
no the red boat is the favorite okay oh okay and it was starting over here
in this direction around into the island yeah oh okay how long is the
um Boat Trip in kilometers to the islands how many kilometers yes approximately 20. we're
going like a six a success so what speed does it grow at the moment we go 10.4 miles and not says
also approximately 20 kilometers per hour how long was your course to learn all of this
of course um I think two years at school and then you have to practice really
depends about the license require the biggest
problem near the island and he has a very narrow water yes
yeah we have 1.8 meters of water so now you can reach stand on the sand
and you can reach this Ferry really so that's very shallow
all right the condition we can go down to maybe 40 centimeters of water oh my
goodness that is so interesting I had no idea wow on this point of the trip we have to be
in this direction so since we'll have to go away okay but if they're water enough around
us we can move the ship and where are you docking the boat at or is that Landing okay
so you really have to know the water well well
see it out here yes
it's been a pleasure speaking with you yeah it's Pleasant to have you visit this is just
amazing I hope so and it's also amazing to have you here oh thank you and also
