And pirates. And sharks.They weren't wrong, exactly. But in eight years and forty thousand miles, none of those things came close to killing us. What actually did? A jet ski in Moorea. Semi-domesticated dogs in a dozen countries. An oyster shell in Fiji. And one very unconvincing coastguard off the coast of Sudan with a semi-automatic rifle and no uniform.This episode is about safety - the real kind, not the disaster-movie kind. The risks nobody thinks to mention, the protocols that kept us mostly intact, and the one time it got genuinely serious.I also finally finished the pallet wood wall.
