| 0:10.2 | That's right, just like Chief Brody says in Jaws, we are going to need a bigger boat. |
| 0:16.0 | Hey guys, Andy here, back after a long summer in the Arctic. |
| 0:20.2 | I'll get straight to the point. We got a |
| 0:22.6 | Swan 59. We're calling it Ice Bear and starting in 2019, 59 North will be a two-boat program. |
| 0:30.1 | Here's the story of how it happened. South Australia, I was mine |
| 0:45.6 | Home away, haul away |
| 0:48.4 | In South Australia, round Cape High now |
| 0:51.3 | We're bound for South Australia |
