I'm in the Torres Strait,near Papua New Guinea,

on a small deserted island where there's little sign of food, water, or wildlife.

There's a larger island which promises more resources,

but getting there means crossing a tidal channel full of sharks.
但是到達那里意味著 必須穿過這條布滿鯊魚的海峽
Well, this is the bit of sand that I want to use to get across to the other island.

We're gonna need this just to help us in the wind, as well,with this current.

Let's get into this.It's a tricky crossing of about 200 yards to the other island.
開始吧 橫渡這條200碼寬的 海峽絕非易事
The tide is on the turn,and I don't want to be trapped midstream in fast-rising waters.
潮水要轉向了 我可不想被困在 飛速上漲的激流當中
Now, you stick really close to me on this.

Good, positive stance. Just get across it, all right?

I need you to help me keep an eye out, though.

Some shark attacks occur in as little as 2 feet of water.
