also lend a hand. They

2:06

asked another friend, another

2:07

friend, and without meaning to, I found myself

2:09

with this team of

2:11

grandmothers who do extraordinary work.

2:13

They allowed us to learn lots of

2:17

things we wouldn't have

2:18

suspected until now. This is

2:22

the day of the 9th Mother's Day. It

2:25

starts in the morning at 7:45,

2:28

so we take our masks, fins, snorkels, and

2:32

cameras. And we go into the

2:34

water

2:37

if the sea is very calm and there's no

2:40

current. We sail to the

2:42

rock and back, which means we swim about

2:44

2:46

2:53

2:58

photograph them. How do you approach them

3:01

if you see them coming towards you?
