and there's the river i think over there
however between me and it
there is a small obstacle
the mouth of the river
was absolutely jammed with densely
packed weed
[Music]
so to get through it i decided to ditch
slow and careful and call on my old
friends
speed and power
come on
no no no it's all gone wrong
yeah it was stuck
i think i filled my intakes up with
leaves
ugh
meanwhile
back on the lake
my life was getting even worse
right situation update i've run aground
can't even turn my phone to win because
it's stuck
and there's a storm coming
and it wasn't like my camera boat could
help because that was beached as well
oh look at those poor sods
and then to rub salt in the wounds
are you stuck i thought you were waiting
for me i'm stuck but my boat's not
powerful enough to tow in this one i
thought you were waiting for me i didn't
know you were stuck
i'm really sorry
oh
god back in the lettuce field i'd
enlisted the help of the few remaining
locals not being employed by james and
richard
[Music]
it is actually
yes moving
yes
the mighty pbr has been freed by the
local chaps
soon i was also being towed so i had
time to reflect on the awfulness of our
boating holiday
i mean it's a farcical we've got half of
cambodia in the water freeing us from
fishing nets and ropes and trying to
pull out the camera crew boats they're
all stuck it's rubbish
are you stuck
yep
is he stuck
right
they're all stuck
eventually though hammond and i found
deeper water and were able to proceed
under our own steam
i have two engines
it's clarkson
calling commander clarkson
right chats uh welcome first of all nice
to have you here no time for
pleasantries though the problem we have
is that is a very significant chunk of
weeds and this can do everything except
to go through them
the issue was that my giant v8s would
suck the leaves into the jets and clog
them up
hammond and may decided to slice a path
through the veg patch using their
old-fashioned props
here we go into the reeds
and on truffle
i was then towed through by a local
here i am going through the salad
pre-minced by hammond and may with the
19th century
propellers it's not liking this at all
watching my temperatures they're
climbing already
bit
snaggy oh come on come on boat
nevertheless our salad mincers kept
chopping away
hammered it opens up down there look can
you see about 200 yards yes clear water
oh yes
yes
i'm weed free
what a victory for the ntk
[Music]
we then sailed down a narrow channel
created by the fishermen
you know what's the most amazing thing
about these reeds apart from that they
look like giant flat leaf parsley is
that according to a local if i
understood him correctly they weren't
even here 10 days ago and now there are
miles of them
10 days imagine if you can grow
vegetables that quickly
you
