Creator's Key Takeaways

there are over 400 very sweaty people packed into this double decker Lifeboat and lucky me I'm one of them

I've been really lucky and I've been able to avoid doing this for five years but today my luck ran out

it's just as hot sweaty and uncomfortable as it looks but technically I'm getting paid to do this so I guess it's not too bad
