one of our first investigations was in Peru looking for the elusive Humboldt squid.

The film crew and I joined the commercial squid fishing vessel and set out from the remote port of Plato seeing up.

Adverbs of degree

But it was it was quite shocking, Like being on quite a lot off boats.

There was not really enough space just for the fishing crew that had all of us, all of our equipment and then just the kind of safety concerns, seeing like the side of the boat kind of baloney level.

Knowing that we were gonna be one of 24 hours out to see all of us in this cramped space was kind of got what we let ourselves in for the fishing guys on the dock, Well, laughing us on, we constantly being told you're not gonna cope with this.

You know, we managed to talk to the Navy there and see if they could bring a boat out with us.

And that was the kind of clincher for May that made me sort off convince.

That was another concern when we were gonna be traveling out night.

It must have bean within about kind of half on our being on the boat with it going literally like that.

I live on a boat, but this was this was something else.

The point, I realized this is gonna be horrible.

Experience was about five minutes into the journey when the captain started vomiting over the side.

That's when I knew this isn't gonna be fun.

This is actually the first time we've actually managed to film anything.

It's partly because of the movement, the general challenging conditions.

It's not quite 24 hours, but we traveled eight hours through the night.

I was sick fairly early during the night.

I was going to the railway to see how the rail is.

You know, it's very easy to trip and find yourself in the water.

I've been in some pretty crazy situations before.

I'd say this trip on this boat in Peru was the worst experience I've ever had.

Struggling even more than Kelly was our cameraman and river monsters, veteran Chris Stitch Hman, who try as he might, couldn't find his sea legs.

I'm sure most people have had sort of motion sickness themselves.

Your whole body is drained on being stuck out in the ocean.

Certainly isn't the first time I've been pushed to my limits on river monsters.

Back in Syria's three in the jungles of Suriname, I got struck by lightning.

Our crews are no strangers to working in places where it's very hard to function very hard to survive.

I am really wondering, Are we gonna find what we've come to find?

And then even if we do, are we gonna film it?

This was not a good start to our marine adventure, exhaustion and sea sickness, or even affecting my ability to do my job.

The animal itself almost has this ability to disappear.

I was just losing my moment of my They seem to have gone from No, I'm just I'm just My wording is not right that I'm thinking back to that, and our living quarters weren't helping matters.

As you can see, there's not a great deal of space on this boat that there's a huge space underneath, which is where this squid normally go.

But in terms of the human living quarters, it's it's very compassionate, right?

You found the best place to sleep bizarrely was out on the deck of the boat.

There was kind of like an open top crate, which was normally where the fishermen would chop up and throw the dead squid is there catching them?

But the challenge that was kind of ingrained into the wood was the constant of the squid.

Really kind of putrid, disgusting, rotting flesh smell really horrible.

Production crew packed like kind of visible on di gel sanitizes things you'd get so I'd cover my hands in that basically sleep with my hands over my face just to kind of block out, block out the smell.

Obviously, my prime interest is what leaves under the water.

But every trip that I go on, it also brings me into contact with the people whose job it is to catch those creatures on Dhe.

I would say, You know, I'm glad I don't do this for a living is hard work.

It's hard work, and it's not particularly well rewarded right now.

There are scores of boats out in that same place fishing system for squid.

They probably got sick of the sight of them.

The idea that somebody would come from halfway around the world to look at these things highlights the difference in attitude that we between people.

I just want to get as many in that whole discreetly as possible and go home and then spend the money.

I think the Peruvian fishing crew kind of found me a bit of an oddity.

I was told that they basically never seen a woman set foot.

Some one of these boats that alone come with them three days out to sea.

So initially they kind of treated me, but sort of weird caution, like, what are you doing here?

But I mean, as we got further out to sea, I think they seem kind of forgot.

Basically, we'll just have to get on with it and cope with the conditions.

When I eventually started pulling in squid after squid, it felt like a triumph against the sea and the conditions we faced.

When the line moves after days and days and days of not moving that that is momentous.

You kind of have something to show for it.

And we just about got our sense of humor back on.

Luckily, that wasn't Inc Roy crew have fallen that very amusing.

I don't consider good to see the point, but that was catching myself on the cut yourself on the the best bit was getting off the boat, getting on some flat land, some stable land.

It was covered in squid guts, but I didn't care.
