Squeeze it down a little bit.
:14:05
Not so it hurts.
Well, it'll move back and forth.

:14:09
Let's see how it looks.
Get your finger out of your nose.

:14:16
Nice move, Tom. Very good.
:14:19
The journey will take
four days of good weather.

:14:22
Thirty nautical miles
to Lake Ontario.

:14:24
Then 30 more across the lake
to the U.S. of A.

:14:27
Now 65 miles further on
is rendezvous number one...

:14:30
... at a farm outside
Franklinville, NY.

:14:33
Day two, we're going to Pennsylvania.
:14:35
Across the Appalachian Mountains,
120 miles to rendezvous number two.

:14:40
On day three, we fly over Maryland,
east of Baltimore.

:14:43
Then south across the Potomac
to the lowlands of Virginia.

:14:46
On day four, we go along Chesapeake
Bay to the town of New Hope.

:14:50
From there, it's just
10 miles to Valhalla.

:14:53
- How are they doing?
- They're panting hard after 20 miles.

:14:57
I really don't think
they can go 150 miles a day.

:15:00
They've got it in there somewhere.
Wild ones can fly 1000 miles.

:15:03
- They're thinner afterwards but...
- We gotta go earlier than that.

:15:08
Two day's weather cushion isn't enough.
I say we leave by the 22nd.

:15:12
Good idea. Barry and I will get
the camping equipment Wednesday.

:15:16
We got a lead on a boat.
:15:17
- The GPS and radios are due tomorrow.
- October the 22nd.

:15:21
- Yes!
- 22nd!

:15:35
We have one week
to whip them into shape.

:15:37
We've gotta push them to the limit.
:15:40
Wild geese average five,
six flight hours a day.

:15:43
That means we've got to get ours
up to four. Then we'll be okay.

:15:47
You've gotta be the leader,
and be tough on them.

:15:50
We can't let up. The wild ones
are already heading south.
