Lost in Ice

Med all respekt til deg frøken Bee.
Jeg har stor medfølelse for deg og din familie for tapet av Lennie.Jeg skjønner at dette er sårt for dere. Men, jeg mistet også noen. Min kjære Gisle, el Tom som du kaller han. Alle vennene hans kaller han Gisle.. Men jeg skjønner ikke hva du ønsker å oppnå med dette, alt den mailen sier meg er at alle gutta ønsket å lage god tv. Og du vet sikkert at i de fleste dokumentarer er enkelte ting "satt i scene" kun for å lage god underholdning, og ikke nødvendig helt sant. Kan gå med på at båten var litt i overkant ful fra New Sealand, men alt utstyret var jo satt igjen på isen før båten ble borte. Når du sier Jarle satte mannskapet sitt i fare, sier du med andre ord at broren din var dum og ikke viste bedre Jeg er helt sikker på at hvis han syntes det, hadde han ikke blitt med, Han var da en voksen mann...han ble neppe truet med. Og jeg tror ikke du vet hvor mye jobb gutta legger ned bak hver scene de filmer, for da hadde du ikke lurt på om Lennie hadde godkjent at det ble sendt på tv. Han jobbet neppe livet av seg ombord for at ingen skulle se det. Mener ikke å være respektløs på noen måte, men dette blir bare for dumt....og ikke bringer det noen av gutta tilbake heller...

I must most strongly dissagree with you both.
There is one man that is to blame, and that is the "Captain" the selfproclimed god and ideamaker behind this trip: Andhøy.
This last episode did not give any more answers than it produced questions. This is only Andhøys way of trying to defend him self.

Andhøy decided at one point that it was a good ide to sail to the Antarctica. Perhaps since the tv ratings was down after all his stupid tricks in the arctic oceans.
He also decided that it was a good ide to do this without any insurace and permits. And against all the advices he got from all the ecperianced sailors from the antactic ocean. Like Mc Intyre and Nowak.
And in his wisdom he also did not follow the guidance from the engelish pilotbook stating that his choice of harbouring was not good enoguh. He (Andhøy) Has never sailed here before, nor had none of the others. Massie was just a kid 18years old. So to go here for the first time, with a small boat, overloaded( 10tons) and with a crew that did not know each other that well, and was not trained for a trip like this, it was a disaster just waiting to happen.
And even thou none of the crew was forced onboard, i am pretty sure they all trusted Andhøy in knowing what he was doing. Sadly he did not, And even more sadly 3 good men died because of this.

It is very easy to tell someboduy what to do in an emergancy, when you do not have to be abord. And since he did not know the waters, all of his commands for the three men left onboard berserk could and was wrong.

When you enter an airplane, you trust that the captain knows what to do? And knows where he is going? Or do you think that if the plane chrashes you only have to blame yourself, because nobdy forced you on the plane. I have read that statement so many times, and that is the most redicilous statement i have ever read. Andhøy is the brain behind this trip, it was his idea, it was he who planned this and it was him and him alone that had the overall responsebility for the ship, equippement and the crew.
The tvserie is a 9 episode long defence of what he have done. But after the last episod, i am left behind with more questions than answers. And i am more convinced that he was wrong, and should not have done this.

Adventure is always a risky buisiness, but there are ways of minimalizing the obvious risks. Like having a good ship, good equippement, well trained crew and an experienced captain. He had none of this!
And this is only what happened on the water.

The attempt to reach the polepoint with atv`s is a whole other story. And sadly enough, if the ship had not sunk, Andhøy and the kid probably would die in their idiotic attempt.
So, this trip could not have had an happy ending. And Andhøy is trying to find answers anyplace but where the answers are, in his head.

So i agre with Charlene in her critics of the sharlatan called Andhøy. And in my opinion he should have been dragged into the court where he had do defend himself and his choices.

I am not against adventures or living out ones dreams, but there are ways of doing it as safely as possible. And not in Andhøys case, as dangerous as possible. Even thou it looks better on tv.....
