Welcome to our first Spanish lighthouse, which happens to be the last lighthouse built in Cantabria, Spain. Faro de Ajo, or Garlic Lighthouse, flew under the radar for most of its existence until one very controversial event put it on the map (for tourists at least) and made it the most colorful lighthouse in the world. Seriously, you're going to want to check out our Instagram for this one!

Hi everyone, I'm Emily.
2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:02,600
And I'm Vince.
3
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,600
And this is the Lighthouse Lowdown.
4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,600
Welcome to a Sunday morning in the podcast.
5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,600
We're in the RipRap studio.
6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,000
And today we've got our Starbucks coffee
7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
and we're gonna tee things off.
8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,200
I had a free one with my star accumulation
9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,400
and that's why I always get a large
10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,400
with an extra shot of espresso and almond milk.
11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,000
Tell everyone what your order is
12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,200
in case they want to send you one.
13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,000
Oh my gosh.
14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,600
Well, if you want to, you should go to our Linktree link
15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,000
that's in our show notes.
16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,800
You can send us a coffee.
17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,600
But it's actually a coin in our treasure chest.
18
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,200
It's the way that we have it written out.
19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,000
Yeah.
20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
But that coin will go towards coffee.
21
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,600
Oh, another fun thing having to do with coffee
22
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,000
is that Captain Cecil Coffee is sending us
23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,800
a couple bags of their Ground Atlantic coffee, I think.
24
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Nice.
25
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,200
We'll post their information on the episode
26
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,200
where we do this.
27
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,800
But Vince and I are gonna go ahead and give it a try
28
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,000
and tell you guys how it is.
29
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200
And then we'll be doing a giveaway
30
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,000
for a bag of their Atlantic coffee.
31
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
So you guys won't want to miss that one.
32
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000
I think it's, their branding is very on par for us.
33
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,600
Yeah, I've never had Captain Cecil's coffee,
34
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,400
but their Instagram.
35
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,600
No matter what, you gotta check their Instagram out.
36
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,600
It's really cool.
37
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,800
First off, it matches our theme, Nonicle Lighthouse.
38
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,000
But they have very good photography.
39
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000
I don't know if they all have one person that does that.
40
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,800
I don't know.
41
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,400
We've been a fan of Captain Cecil's Instagram for a while.
42
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:42,800
Yeah.
43
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,400
The first time I made it on Instagram,
44
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,000
actually, they were one of the first people I followed.
45
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,800
So we're happy to be doing a little collaboration with them
46
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,000
and get to give you guys a free bag of their coffee.
47
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,800
So much fun.
48
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,400
And they have new packaging, so you guys
49
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,600
will get to see it all.
50
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,800
Our other sponsor for today is Newegg.com.
51
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,400
They're a standing sponsor with us.
52
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,000
So anytime you need something computer related,
53
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,200
tech related, check out our link.
54
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,200
That'll take you to their website.
55
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,000
And then anything that you purchase on there,
56
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,200
we get 3% of that back.
57
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,000
So I actually used that link yesterday.
58
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,400
And I ordered a ergonomic, upright mouse.
59
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,200
So I'm excited to get that.
60
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,000
A little bit of cash back in our lives.
61
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000
A little bit of cash back.
62
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,800
So we appreciate Newegg's support.
63
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,400
We appreciate your support as well.
64
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,200
Yes.
65
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,800
And now we're going to dive into our episode.
66
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,400
So I do have a history buoy.
67
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,500
It has nothing to do with lighthouses,
68
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:34,100
but it is a little bit nautical.
69
00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:36,100
And I'm actually really excited to talk about it
70
00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:38,600
because it's something I always knew about
71
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,700
but discovered recently because I went to Hawaii
72
00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:42,700
and actually got to collect some.
73
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:48,600
So my topic for the history buoy is sea glass.
74
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,300
Oh, it's pretty.
75
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:49,800
I know.
76
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,000
It's a little bit of a blurry picture, but you know.
77
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800
We do see pictures.
78
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,000
We'll have Instagram as well as YouTube.
79
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,800
Oh, yeah, yeah.
80
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,000
YouTube, we do a screen share.
81
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
So you see everything that we're seeing the whole time.
82
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,500
Yeah.
83
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,200
And we've kind of, I don't like this as much,
84
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,500
but I feel like we're making it harder for people
85
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:09,000
to just listen to the podcast and not watch it on YouTube.
86
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Because I'm like, oh, yeah, see, it's over here.
87
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,000
It's over here.
88
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,800
And it's like no one listening to the podcast
89
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,400
would be able to know what I'm talking about.
90
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,200
So I'm just trying to, I got to get back
91
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,800
into the mindset of describing things first
92
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,800
and that you and I can look at it.
93
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,200
But you know.
94
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,200
I'll try to do that as well.
95
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,800
Keep everybody in the loop.
96
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,600
In the loop, dude.
97
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,000
Yeah.
98
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,500
Right.
99
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,700
OK, so sea glass.
100
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,800
OK, these are seen commonly when you go to beaches,
101
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,800
very specific ones that I'll talk about as well.
102
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,300
And actually highly sought after by local artists
103
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:41,200
that live around lakes and oceans.
104
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,500
Because they're common in jewelry
105
00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:46,400
and some colors are extremely rare.
106
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800
And so it's kind of like hunting.
107
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,300
You know, you're doing sea glass.
108
00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:50,900
Collection.
109
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:51,400
Yeah.
110
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,400
And we actually talked about that recently
111
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,200
is that people that look for sea glass,
112
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000
it's like a big thing.
113
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800
It's like a community of people that look for sea glass.
114
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Same thing as people that look for shark teeth and stuff.
115
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,900
Oh, yeah.
116
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:06,400
Yeah, like while I was in Florida,
117
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,700
people were just looking for shark teeth in the morning.
118
00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:11,000
I would walk by someone, any shark teeth?
119
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,300
And I'm like, oh, I found one.
120
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:14,200
But that was the moment that I realized
121
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200
that everyone was out there looking for shark teeth
122
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,400
and not just for seashells.
123
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,900
Because I was looking for seashells
124
00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:20,400
and I just happened to find a shark tooth.
125
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,800
And I was like, oh, cool.
126
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,700
That is cool.
127
00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:24,700
Yeah, and then they asked me as I'm walking by.
128
00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,000
And I'm like, yeah, I did find one.
129
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,400
And they're like, oh, it's like a rejuvenation of searching.
130
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,400
They're on the trail.
131
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,400
They got it.
132
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,200
I found a little bit of sea glass in Hawaii
133
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,400
during Christmas time.
134
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,200
And the beach was actually full of them.
135
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,700
They're really small pieces.
136
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:41,800
And I'll talk about the rarity and importance
137
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,000
of the color of sea glass that you find.
138
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,400
So I was finding pieces that are deemed very common.
139
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,600
Didn't find red or orange or anything like that.
140
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,300
But that's kind of what people are looking for
141
00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,600
is those rare colors.
142
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,600
What is this?
143
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,440
What is sea glass?
144
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Sea glass is, a lot of people think
145
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,800
that it's a naturally occurring object.
146
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,600
But it's actually just broken glass
147
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,800
that spends anywhere between 20 to 200 years
148
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000
being tossed around and then comes back up on shore
149
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
looking like this, this tumbled rock.
150
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,700
And any glass that you find that isn't as tumbled
151
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:20,600
is not really deemed sea glass
152
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,300
because it needs to spend at least 20 years
153
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:25,700
tumbling around to get this effect.
154
00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:29,400
And can show up anywhere after 200 years as well.
155
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,700
A minimum of 20 years?
156
00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:31,540
Yeah.
157
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:34,000
So glass from land.
158
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,840
Mm-hmm.
159
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:35,680
Okay.
160
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,600
Yeah, so it could even be like windshields and stuff break.
161
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,140
And then the thing is if they show up earlier than 20 years,
162
00:05:42,140 --> 00:05:43,360
they don't look like sea glass.
163
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,680
So they're not sea glass.
164
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,960
So the 20 years is kind of like the minimum cap
165
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,400
of when it could wash up on shore
166
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,940
and you'd say that's sea glass.
167
00:05:49,940 --> 00:05:50,780
Yeah.
168
00:05:50,780 --> 00:05:53,400
I wonder, well windshields today are made of safety glass.
169
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,240
Mm-hmm.
170
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,440
Which is like high stress.
171
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,880
So when it breaks. Yeah, little pieces.
172
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,720
It shatters.
173
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,180
But I wonder, yeah, yeah, sorry to interrupt.
174
00:06:01,180 --> 00:06:03,440
The size, I don't know what size these are,
175
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,440
but the size that comes up,
176
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,680
I wonder how big the glass was
177
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,800
that started to make that piece.
178
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,040
Yeah, well most of the sea glass that I found in Hawaii
179
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,840
were like little pea sized.
180
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:11,680
Oh cool.
181
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,480
Yeah, very tiny or like a fingernail or something.
182
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,580
But some people find some pretty big pieces.
183
00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:20,440
But since it's glass, it's like for it to be large,
184
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,880
it would be large and thin
185
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,000
because it came from like a bottle or something.
186
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000
But the older it is, the thicker it can be
187
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,680
because glass, like bottles back then
188
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,520
were a lot thicker than what we have today.
189
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,240
It's like glass pieces are physically tumbled
190
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200
by waves and stuff and then chemically as well
191
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,200
because of all the salt in the water.
192
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,080
And there's- Seyenne did salt.
193
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680
Yeah, and there's actually beach glass,
194
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,320
which is freshwater glass.
195
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,560
So that would come out commonly from like the Great Lakes.
196
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,960
It's a lot less frosted
197
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,520
because there's no salt aspect coming in.
198
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,360
Interesting.
199
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,960
Yeah, so you can tell the difference between.
200
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,120
Sea glass is also called drift glass.
201
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,160
They're interchangeable.
202
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,840
And actually a lot of the glass we pick up
203
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,120
can come from shipwrecks.
204
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,960
So it's kind of a cool thing.
205
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,800
That's gorgeous.
206
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,700
We're looking at a photo.
207
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:04,560
I can't tell the scale,
208
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,400
but it looks like a collection of pebbles,
209
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,400
blues and pinks and red and green, clear.
210
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,400
It's a big variety.
211
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,040
Somebody's proud of this collection a bit.
212
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,520
Well, sea glass can also be like pottery pieces
213
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,520
or like porcelain, like from China or something.
214
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,800
Ceramic, yeah.
215
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,400
I have on here that the beach glass,
216
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,140
I was talking about freshwater,
217
00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:31,320
it's common from the Great Lakes
218
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,100
and more commonly is embossed with labels.
219
00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:37,280
It's like larger pieces that aren't ground down so far.
220
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,300
So you can still see like if there are labels on it,
221
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:42,040
which makes it easier to trace its origin.
222
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,120
Sea glass is most often found in places like Scotland,
223
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,360
Hawaii, Bermuda, Southern Spain, Australia,
224
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,840
Northeast England and Northeast US.
225
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360
And all of those are noted for having an abundance of glass.
226
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880
So like you can find sea glass anywhere,
227
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,200
but you'd be most likely to find it in those areas.
228
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,280
Okay.
229
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,240
And it's getting harder to find
230
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,760
since plastic is taking over the world
231
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920
and people are, it's becoming more popular
232
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680
to look for sea glass, like while you're on vacation
233
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,200
or local artists use that a lot.
234
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,200
So it's just getting harder and harder to find.
235
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,760
But the colors are the best part about looking for sea glass
236
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,100
in my opinion, makes it the most fun.
237
00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:23,400
And obviously the color comes from its origin
238
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,960
and colors are common or uncommon depending on the likelihood
239
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,600
of the origin being in the ocean and how old it is.
240
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,900
So the most common colors are Kelly green,
241
00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:35,680
clear, brown and white.
242
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,740
And these can come from beer bottles, juices,
243
00:08:38,740 --> 00:08:43,400
just normal glasses like plates or water cups
244
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,720
or something and windshields.
245
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,640
And then one in every 25 to a hundred pieces are Jade,
246
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,000
Amber, which comes from whiskey, medicine, spirits
247
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,160
and early bleach bottles.
248
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,960
Lime green, which come from soda bottles in the 1960s.
249
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,860
Ice blue, which is also medicine bottles, soda bottles,
250
00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:07,800
Inca bottles and fruit bottles from 19th and 20th centuries.
251
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,520
So pretty cool.
252
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,080
And then one in every 50 to 100 pieces are a specific type
253
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,920
of green, I didn't look it up, but I think it'd probably
254
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,280
be recognizable that are from Coca Cola
255
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,760
and Dr. Pepper bottles from the mid 1900s.
256
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,080
One in every 200 to 1000 pieces are purple, citron,
257
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,240
citron, citron?
258
00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:31,920
It's like a yellow, right?
259
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,400
Yeah, like a orange yellow.
260
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,400
It's like citrus.
261
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,800
There's opaque white, which comes from when milk came
262
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,800
in glass bottles and cornflower blue, which is from early
263
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,720
milk of magnesium bottles and poison bottles.
264
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,560
Of course.
265
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,220
I was like, oh cool.
266
00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:53,200
Also from early vapor rub containers.
267
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,400
Okay.
268
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,320
And also aqua, which are from certain bottles
269
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,080
in the 19th century and ball mason jars.
270
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,020
And then the most rare colors, and this is one in every
271
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:06,960
1000 to 10,000 pieces of sea glass that are found
272
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,680
can be gray, pink, which is from Great Depression era
273
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:14,540
plates, teal, which is from Mattius wine bottles,
274
00:10:14,540 --> 00:10:16,860
which I looked up and they're actually pretty cool.
275
00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:19,780
Black, which is actually a very dark olive green
276
00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:24,780
that you can't see just by like finding it on the sand.
277
00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:28,480
So a lot of people mistake them for just like normal pieces
278
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,600
of rock that come up.
279
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,360
They look exactly the same until you get a bright light
280
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,320
under it and you can tell it's kind of olive.
281
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,760
But these are from 18th century gin, beer, and wine bottles.
282
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,840
So very old.
283
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,980
There's also yellow, which is from 1930s Vaseline containers.
284
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:48,120
Red, which is Schlitz bottles and nautical lights.
285
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:48,960
Schlitz.
286
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,800
Schlitz.
287
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,160
It's a beer.
288
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,000
Yeah.
289
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,320
I saw the bottles that they made that were red
290
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760
from the 50s or something, I think it was.
291
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,520
And then the last one's orange, which I think would be hard
292
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,320
to tell from like amber.
293
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,560
Red, orange, amber, yeah.
294
00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,200
But that one's apparently the most rare.
295
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,240
That's the one that's won in 10,000 cases.
296
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,420
So and they didn't have anything listed for where
297
00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:15,260
that could come from.
298
00:11:15,260 --> 00:11:17,040
So I think that's probably where the rarity comes in.
299
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:17,880
Orange glass.
300
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,920
There was some weird orange glass item that was broken.
301
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,480
The glass all has its original color by manufacturer.
302
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,320
Yeah.
303
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,320
And then the sand and salt, if it's ocean bound,
304
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,920
are what give it the finish,
305
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,080
but the color doesn't change.
306
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,920
Is that true?
307
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,920
I think maybe the color is a little bit muted.
308
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,360
In the picture that we have up for people to look at,
309
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,720
the red is still pretty vibrant.
310
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,440
And so I don't know if that's common for the rest of them
311
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,560
that you can trust that the color is going to be exactly
312
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:48,400
the same.
313
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,360
Considering that black glass exists and it's not gray
314
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,800
by the time you find it.
315
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,000
And it's like this dark olive that you can't see
316
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,320
unless you're really looking for it.
317
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,740
I think probably the color is pretty much the same.
318
00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:03,960
Just has a frosted appearance.
319
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,480
I wonder if there's people out there making it.
320
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,440
Like you could use, like there's tumblers people use
321
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,360
for cleaning ammunition.
322
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,680
There is artificial sea glass now.
323
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,060
Cause people like to use it for decorations.
324
00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:20,940
And when people fill glass containers with rocks
325
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:23,360
and seashells for decoration, it's stuff like that.
326
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,520
They definitely have artificial sea glass.
327
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,360
It's cool.
328
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,920
I've never thought about, I guess I have thought about it
329
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,720
some, but I didn't think about the ocean.
330
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,560
About the environmental impact of using glass containers
331
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,120
versus plastics.
332
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,120
To where 20 to 200 years you'll get an artistic pebble.
333
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,200
Right?
334
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Versus I don't know the plastic impact.
335
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,600
Maybe that's something we can look into.
336
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,440
But I'm sure it's worse from what I've heard.
337
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,360
But there's probably no harm to having glass in,
338
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,420
I mean, or it's probably a relatively low harm.
339
00:12:56,420 --> 00:13:00,120
Glass particles that are all dissipated into new sand.
340
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,960
I guess.
341
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,780
I don't know.
342
00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:04,040
It's beyond my knowledge, but it's interesting.
343
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,720
Yeah, but that's what I got for sea glass.
344
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,560
Cool.
345
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:07,520
That is a fun little thing to cover.
346
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,360
It's gorgeous.
347
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,200
Do you have any sea glass?
348
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,020
I do.
349
00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:10,860
It's in my glass room.
350
00:13:10,860 --> 00:13:13,660
I was thinking about putting a couple in some of the
351
00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:15,160
coasters that I'm working on.
352
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,000
What?
353
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,820
You have a glass room?
354
00:13:16,820 --> 00:13:17,660
Why don't you tell us about that?
355
00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:18,840
Oh my gosh.
356
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,760
I do stained glass.
357
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,800
I have a small business.
358
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,440
It's called Blue Glassworks.
359
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,600
You can find me on Instagram.
360
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,240
And I mostly make panels, some jewelry.
361
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,040
I'm working on coasters and some propagation stations.
362
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,320
If anybody's a planty type.
363
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,160
Yeah, check me out.
364
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,000
Cool.
365
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,820
At Blue Glassworks.
366
00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:40,520
And so we're gonna move on to the lighthouse.
367
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,720
This one is very special because of its appearance.
368
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,800
The lighthouse we're covering is in Spain.
369
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,920
Oh, go ahead and put it up.
370
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Let's pull up a photo.
371
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,240
Pull it up, Emily.
372
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,940
It is the Faro de Ajo Lighthouse,
373
00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:58,400
which is translated to Garlic Lighthouse.
374
00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,680
Can you pull that up for me?
375
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:00,520
Oh yeah.
376
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,080
For us, it's on a 65 inch screen.
377
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,680
That's about two feet away.
378
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,560
But for you all, much better.
379
00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:07,400
Cool.
380
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,240
That's gorgeous.
381
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,640
I like the pure white.
382
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,480
It's very neat.
383
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,480
Yes, it is neat.
384
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,400
And I like the double gallery we've got going on.
385
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,620
I'm not, I don't really know the meaning
386
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:21,800
of having a double gallery, especially for viewing purposes
387
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,760
because you're not allowed to climb the lighthouse
388
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,680
or take a look at it.
389
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,600
And we'll talk about the history,
390
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,360
but this lighthouse was built later than the original design
391
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,120
and so I'm not sure why the second gallery is there.
392
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,960
You think they just had extra room in the budget?
393
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,200
Maybe, they were just like,
394
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,000
oh, it was accidentally copy and pasted on the blue beam.
395
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,600
You know what, they probably,
396
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,120
it's a drawing mistake.
397
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,680
They probably went ahead and installed the lower one
398
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520
and then they're like, oh no.
399
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,240
We'll just put a ladder between the two.
400
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,880
So this is located in Cantabria, Spain in Cabo de Ajo,
401
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,040
which is just Cape garlic.
402
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,840
It's an active guide to navigation.
403
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,620
So it's being used today for navigating
404
00:15:01,620 --> 00:15:04,320
around this Northern coast of Spain.
405
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,120
It's a white light and has a flash pattern of G,
406
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,200
you know what, I'm just gonna show you
407
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,640
what this looks like, because we talked about this.
408
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Flash patterns?
409
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,000
Yes, the flash patterns.
410
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,320
This is one that I have never seen before listed
411
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,040
and I'm wondering if it's because the US doesn't use it,
412
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,240
but it took me a long time to figure out
413
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,080
what the heck this.
414
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,280
Spain's got their own flash patterns.
415
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,120
Yeah.
416
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,120
I guess everybody probably would, right?
417
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,580
Yeah, and you know, this is listed as a possible one
418
00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:33,200
and so it's not like we have never used it.
419
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,320
It's definitely not common for us to use this in the US.
420
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,920
Here's a stupid thing to say, but the ocean looks huge.
421
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,760
I know.
422
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,600
I know it.
423
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,440
Characteristics.
424
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,920
Yeah, here we have light characteristics.
425
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,640
Maybe I'll do another history buoy about it,
426
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,240
try to explain it a little bit better.
427
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,680
Or now that we have pictures available,
428
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,680
anyone who can't see this, it helped to see it visually,
429
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,600
what I'm talking about, but the flash pattern
430
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,880
for the garlic lighthouse is group occulting,
431
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,120
which is kind of like that whole,
432
00:16:05,020 --> 00:16:06,800
is a zebra black with white stripes
433
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,200
or white with black stripes?
434
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,840
It's like normally we see flashing light,
435
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,800
which is listed, or group flashing,
436
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,360
which is basically periods of darkness
437
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,720
that are interrupted by periods of light.
438
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,880
And the flashing is usually shorter
439
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120
than the darkness periods.
440
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,840
But a group occulting is the opposite
441
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,000
in which we have larger moments of light interrupted
442
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,600
by moments of eclipses that are shorter.
443
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,280
The group occulting just means that you have these moments
444
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,240
of darkness in groups of some number, usually three,
445
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,440
which is what we see on the screen,
446
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,640
and what's also true for the garlic lighthouse.
447
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,320
So it's anti-flashing.
448
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Yeah.
449
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,800
It's constant light that's interrupted
450
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,760
rather than darkness that has a flash introduced.
451
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,580
Interesting though.
452
00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:54,240
But yeah, I haven't seen group occulting before,
453
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,400
so it's kind of special for this lighthouse.
454
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,160
It's also white, but since we're in Spain,
455
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,560
white is blanco.
456
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,400
Blanco.
457
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,640
But then the flash pattern is GPOC3,
458
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,720
which is that group occulting three.
459
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,520
And then B, and I was like, it's not blue
460
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,120
because it says it's white.
461
00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:13,420
So it took me forever to realize
462
00:17:13,420 --> 00:17:14,920
that we're talking about Spain here.
463
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,680
So of course it's gonna be.
464
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,720
Yeah, you would have thrown me off
465
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,560
if you didn't give me that hint.
466
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,440
Yeah, it says that the group occulting period
467
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,280
is a total of 12 seconds,
468
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,120
and it has a range of 17 nautical miles.
469
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:26,960
So that's what we're working with.
470
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:27,800
Pretty good.
471
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,620
Yeah, pretty good.
472
00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:31,100
It is the last lighthouse to be built in Contabria,
473
00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,060
so it's kind of special in that way.
474
00:17:33,060 --> 00:17:36,440
And starting in 2020, it became a masterpiece,
475
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,280
which I'm glad to know.
476
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,120
Starting in 2020?
477
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,040
Mm-hmm, the year of COVID.
478
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,200
Is this the newest lighthouse we've talked about?
479
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,040
Like the most recent?
480
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,860
I think so.
481
00:17:43,860 --> 00:17:44,700
It's definitely.
482
00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:46,480
I mean, other than Paradise Island.
483
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,400
It's interesting because you think about.
484
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,240
Being restored.
485
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,700
The last lighthouse built in Spain
486
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:55,240
is going to be a lot,
487
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,400
like America is very young.
488
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,640
And the very first lighthouse to be built there
489
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,460
is 1716, it's the Boston Light.
490
00:18:03,460 --> 00:18:05,560
There were lighthouses built in Spain
491
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,440
in the first century.
492
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,320
Talking about a Roman lighthouse in the first century.
493
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,680
So any thing that says this is the last lighthouse
494
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,760
to be built in Spain could be a lot longer ago
495
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,200
than a lighthouse, the last lighthouse built in America.
496
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,680
We have lighthouses that were built in America
497
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,200
in the 2000s.
498
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,800
So I just thought it was interesting.
499
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,760
The 2020, there's a change coming,
500
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,360
but where is, so this is on the north coast of Spain?
501
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:33,440
Yeah, do you wanna see a picture?
502
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,120
Yeah, is it near a port?
503
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,440
Or is it just protecting?
504
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,280
Because Spain, obviously it's a long coast.
505
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,000
I don't think this is near a port.
506
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,540
This is, the location of this lighthouse
507
00:18:42,540 --> 00:18:44,000
is in someone's farmland.
508
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,320
So you see like lots of cows and stuff around.
509
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,160
So it's not near a large city.
510
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,540
And I know looking up on the map,
511
00:18:49,540 --> 00:18:51,600
you can kind of see this area is super rural.
512
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,520
Maybe it's just a, I mean, if it's rural,
513
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,880
it would really suck to shipwreck there.
514
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,320
Let alone anywhere, but.
515
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,200
Yeah, that's true.
516
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,600
Like you're pretty far from help.
517
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,160
Someone's got a port somewhere
518
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,320
because there's a sailboat out there.
519
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,040
Oh, I do think the port.
520
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,200
Santander, I don't know if that's the right way to say it,
521
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,280
but I did actually read about that.
522
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,920
I'm gonna mention it later.
523
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,360
Here is a Google map.
524
00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,800
Looking at the northern edge of Spain.
525
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,180
And here's like a nearby port.
526
00:19:19,180 --> 00:19:20,840
We got an airport coming in.
527
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,480
It's a big inlet, yeah.
528
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,160
Santander, I have something to say about that later.
529
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,880
But Ajo is right over here.
530
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,240
So it's kind of close.
531
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,500
So if you're, for some reason,
532
00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:31,540
if you're following the coast,
533
00:19:31,540 --> 00:19:32,880
you'd maybe be able to use it.
534
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,440
Yeah, and there's also this entrance, La Sorozuela.
535
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,520
Uh-huh, mm-hmm.
536
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,520
It doesn't look like a main,
537
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,520
it doesn't look like a main port,
538
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,240
but it definitely looks,
539
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,320
maybe kind of bougie. Maria de Ajo.
540
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,960
Okay, Maria, you said onion?
541
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,960
No, garlic. Oh, garlic, yeah.
542
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,800
What? I don't know.
543
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,580
Is this like, do they grow a lot of garlic here?
544
00:19:52,580 --> 00:19:53,420
I don't know.
545
00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:54,240
It's a gorgeous,
546
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,200
Cantabria has a gorgeous Google photo right there.
547
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,320
Oh, it does, yeah.
548
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,720
Trees. Look at the water.
549
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,920
Old buildings right up against the water.
550
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,680
Mm. Gorgeous.
551
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,720
Honestly, it's like a place to visit.
552
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,320
Google does a good job of making me want to travel.
553
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,320
They're like, what do you think we were built for?
554
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:11,440
Okay, really cool.
555
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,160
All right, it's hard to derail, but.
556
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,000
No, no, it's good.
557
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,840
It's pretty white.
558
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,920
It needs a little paint on those guards up there.
559
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:18,280
That's another thing I'm gonna mention,
560
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,440
is that this lighthouse needs a little bit of help.
561
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,320
2020.
562
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,440
So, the history.
563
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,280
Let's go, okay, let's go way back,
564
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:26,720
but not very far back because.
565
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:27,560
Yes.
566
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Way not very far.
567
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,680
All the way back to 1907.
568
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,680
So, it's still over 100 years ago.
569
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,440
The government of Spain planned the construction
570
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,840
of a 59 foot tower, an engine room,
571
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,560
and a two-story rectangular cottage
572
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,160
to house up to six keepers,
573
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,360
which is a lot for just a little tower.
574
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:47,320
It was projected to be one of the most important
575
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,560
to be built on the Bay of Biscay in 19,
576
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,080
oh, and in 1909, the plans were approved
577
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,600
for this lighthouse to be built.
578
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,080
And the Bay of Biscay is just the body of water
579
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,400
that rises up against. Oh, okay.
580
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,040
In 1914, the nearby Cabo Mayor lighthouse was electrified,
581
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,880
which was a lot bigger than this one.
582
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,800
Kind of like one that was built a long time ago,
583
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,200
very necessary for this area.
584
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,600
And it was electrified, which gave it a more powerful light,
585
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,320
which they decided deemed this one unnecessary,
586
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,920
which would not be true because three shipwrecks
587
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,120
occurred shortly after that,
588
00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:24,360
which kind of put this lighthouse back on the map.
589
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:26,960
So, yeah, garlic was back on the map
590
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,400
and approved again in 1924,
591
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,800
building plans approved in 1928,
592
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,320
and then they completed the lighthouse
593
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,280
two years later in 1930.
594
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,120
Okay.
595
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,400
It wasn't electrified until 1962,
596
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,800
which kind of goes hand in hand
597
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,320
with me talking about this being a very rural area.
598
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,040
Like there's a chance that rural areas
599
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,400
didn't get even electrified until the 60s anyway,
600
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,560
because we're talking about the Cabo Mayor lighthouse
601
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,640
being electrified in 1914.
602
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,160
So that's a lot.
603
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,800
That's almost 50 years,
604
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,440
half a century before this lighthouse is electrified.
605
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,400
Well, all these electric places that are off on their own
606
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,240
either need cable run to them or they need solar power.
607
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,440
Solar power wasn't really developed until 70s, 80s.
608
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,240
Well, do you think even telephone lines
609
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,640
wouldn't go to farms and stuff for a long time?
610
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,520
Long time. Yeah.
611
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,360
So not that surprising,
612
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:20,120
but a little crazy considering a close lighthouse
613
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,120
of this one was electrified 50 years earlier.
614
00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:26,040
So definitely says something about its location, I think.
615
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,880
Okay.
616
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,880
In 1980, Fernando Rodriguez Perez
617
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,560
designed a new cylindrical concrete tower
618
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,320
a little over 52 and a half feet tall.
619
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,120
And so that's the one that we're seeing today
620
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:38,320
because the original,
621
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,560
the new one was built next to the original
622
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,600
and the original one was destroyed.
623
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,400
I'm not sure why this happened.
624
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,240
I did look it up.
625
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,680
Why was the original lighthouse taking down
626
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,280
and nothing came up for it?
627
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,600
And so it's not,
628
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,240
it's maybe that it was just left alone for so long,
629
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520
but by 1980, so they had electrified it in 62.
630
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,160
So why, I don't know.
631
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,560
I think maybe it's just that it hadn't been touched
632
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,160
in so long that they found it cheaper to build a new one
633
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,960
rather than to restore the old one.
634
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,960
Interesting.
635
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,960
So it being the youngest lighthouse in Spain
636
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,880
could be referring to this one,
637
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,080
which was I think completed in 1985.
638
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,000
Okay.
639
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,680
Or it could be the one that was completed in 1930.
640
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,600
I didn't check.
641
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,440
So that's-
642
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,260
Both, yeah.
643
00:23:26,260 --> 00:23:27,680
In long history, they're not that far apart.
644
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,520
Exactly.
645
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,440
In our lives, long way.
646
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,840
But yeah, so that is all the history
647
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,140
that I found on this lighthouse.
648
00:23:33,140 --> 00:23:36,480
It's kind of the new stuff is what's big news
649
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,320
for this lighthouse.
650
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,160
So 2015, the city council of Barreo
651
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,480
requested a grant from the ministry of public works
652
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,640
of government of Cantabria to make a perimeter fence
653
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,080
parallel to the cliffs to protect people
654
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,220
and a pedestrian path that's 10 feet wide
655
00:23:53,220 --> 00:23:55,400
to increase tourism around this area.
656
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,760
So in this picture, you can see some people walking.
657
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,320
Well, you can see people walking on the pedestrian trail
658
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,920
and then further in the background of it,
659
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,000
you can see this parallel fence
660
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,840
that they're leaning up against.
661
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,120
The cliff edge just past the, okay.
662
00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:13,120
They put $70,000 towards making this
663
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,600
like a tourist designated area.
664
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:16,840
Yeah, just with this walkway.
665
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,560
So you can't go up to the lighthouse,
666
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,640
but you can walk around it.
667
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,840
And actually it became pretty popular.
668
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,840
Like it put it on the map, you know,
669
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,400
like a place to go visit.
670
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,240
Yeah.
671
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,880
I think they had 35,000 people visit here
672
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,440
in the three years before, you know,
673
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,680
before the thing I'm gonna talk about.
674
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,800
Yeah.
675
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,480
So it had some visitors.
676
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,200
Basically what they wanted to do
677
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,040
was bring tourist money to Ajo.
678
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:44,980
They just wanted more people.
679
00:24:44,980 --> 00:24:46,040
It's more rural area.
680
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:46,880
There's not a lot to see.
681
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,120
So they wanted to put something on the map
682
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,640
for people to be like, oh, we should go see that
683
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,520
while we're passing through the area.
684
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,200
And it used to cost just one Euro
685
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,800
to come in and walk around the lighthouse
686
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,280
and look out over the cliffs.
687
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,160
It's very pretty.
688
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,840
You know, there's reasons to visit.
689
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,000
That's very cheap.
690
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,840
Yeah, I know.
691
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,140
And now it's free.
692
00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:03,980
Nice.
693
00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:04,800
That's even cheaper.
694
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,160
Visits for this lighthouse
695
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,200
were about to increase significantly though
696
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,300
with the very controversial idea to paint the lighthouse,
697
00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:15,880
but not just paint.
698
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,520
We turn it into, we transform into a work of art.
699
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,840
And I'm gonna pull up a photo
700
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,840
to go with my dramatic statements.
701
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,640
Every lighthouse has a work of art.
702
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,640
That's the energy we wanna bring to this place.
703
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,800
Boom.
704
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800
And also a nice view of the cliffs
705
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,000
and a nice beach over here.
706
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,960
Gorgeous area.
707
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,880
But look at what we've done to this lighthouse.
708
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880
It looks smaller from further away.
709
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,720
Whoa.
710
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,000
It's only 52 feet tall.
711
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,160
Although if you look at the people in comparison,
712
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,000
it's pretty tall.
713
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:50,820
Yeah.
714
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,800
Okay, yeah.
715
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,120
That's a better photo.
716
00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:58,440
The magnificence, the colors, just very dramatic.
717
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,680
We've transformed this lighthouse into some artwork,
718
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,640
some custom artwork.
719
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,320
Some geometric rainbows for everyone who can't see.
720
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,760
Yeah, people really need to look it up.
721
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:14,400
What's so cool about this lighthouse is its visual-ness.
722
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,600
Contabrian artist Okuda San Miguel, I think.
723
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,000
I'm gonna do my best, but I think it's Okuda.
724
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,720
Was commissioned with a budget of $40,000.
725
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,080
So that is a ton of money.
726
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,840
That's kind of part of the controversy
727
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,240
around painting this lighthouse instead of restoring it.
728
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,760
We saw that picture just before it was painted
729
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,120
where you're like, oh, it could use a little bit of work.
730
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,680
And this money instead was going towards painting the lighthouse.
731
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,000
$40,000 to paint it.
732
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,880
Yes, so that's part of the controversy.
733
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,720
I'll go more into it.
734
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,520
There's a lot of bullet points.
735
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,840
But he completed the paintwork,
736
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,800
which he called Infinite Contabria in three days
737
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,680
using over 100 colors.
738
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,320
Although I saw some people say it was 70 colors,
739
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,440
and maybe the 100 is just being dramatic.
740
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,240
Fuel the fire.
741
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,560
It depicts local fauna.
742
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,840
So if you look closely into it,
743
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,060
you can kind of see some animals.
744
00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:05,900
There's birds.
745
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:06,880
There's a tongue hanging out.
746
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,960
We got lots of colored squares and triangles
747
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,120
and some anchors.
748
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:14,240
So lots going on.
749
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,360
I don't know if this was free-handed,
750
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:19,520
if he just kind of came up with it as he went along.
751
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,280
But this is very classic.
752
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,600
This is his style of artwork.
753
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,920
You can see, well, let me look up.
754
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,840
It's very pretty.
755
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,360
So you can see his artwork.
756
00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:31,160
It's very, it works along with it.
757
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,320
Known artist, a lot of the same style.
758
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,120
Yeah, and I saw that some of the things that he did,
759
00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:41,680
he has a, you know, 1800 tequila.
760
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,120
He has a bottle.
761
00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:45,200
He did a collab with them,
762
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,160
and he has a limited edition bottle for $180.
763
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,120
Would you mind looking it up?
764
00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:49,960
Yeah.
765
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,240
Or just put in 1800 up in your search.
766
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,080
That is cool.
767
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,240
Isn't that awesome?
768
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,440
Oh, why did I think it was $180?
769
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,120
You know what it was?
770
00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:03,840
I was looking it up on Bing,
771
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,160
so they probably just betrayed me.
772
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,400
180 proof.
773
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,440
Team Google.
774
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,360
That'd be something else.
775
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:10,640
Are you 21 or older? Yes, I am.
776
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,480
Don't you lie.
777
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,760
Oh, it's a series.
778
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,120
These are essential artists series.
779
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,200
Essential artists, that must be fun.
780
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,640
Oh, I like the koala, is it?
781
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,480
Panda bear.
782
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,480
Oh yeah.
783
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,320
Those are cool.
784
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,160
There's a nice skull here.
785
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,840
$210 for six bottles, maybe?
786
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,120
Yeah, what size are they?
787
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,320
That's really neat.
788
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,920
Okay, apparently it doesn't want me to reborn.
789
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:32,760
Oh well.
790
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,160
They're like, aren't you doing a podcast?
791
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,000
It's pretty neat.
792
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,840
You're gonna focus?
793
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:38,280
Yeah, just thought those.
794
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,200
I don't think I've ever had 1800 tequila,
795
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,360
but that'd be cool.
796
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,200
I haven't either.
797
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,160
I'm not a big tequila person.
798
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,160
Or like margaritas, I'm not a fan of margaritas.
799
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,560
Anyway, so here's the whole controversy
800
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,600
that surrounds painting this lighthouse.
801
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,920
There's a couple of different things.
802
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,960
I mentioned that a lot of that money
803
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,280
could have gone towards fixing up the lighthouse,
804
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,040
and so it feels kind of like a shame.
805
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,720
You're covering up problems
806
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,760
that actually need to be fixed with paint.
807
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,600
Yeah.
808
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,280
The page that I was reading,
809
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,800
I'll link it at my show notes so you can read it too.
810
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,040
It has a lot more information
811
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,280
than what I'm just gonna kind of quickly cover here.
812
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,040
Cleans that lighthouses by regulation
813
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,960
have to be black and white.
814
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,000
That's not true for everywhere.
815
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,240
It could be true for Spain,
816
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,200
but I also couldn't find that anywhere.
817
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Okuda remedied that by making the back of this lighthouse
818
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,240
appear purely black and white from a distance,
819
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,440
and you can kind of see a sliver of it from this photo.
820
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,280
Oh.
821
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,120
Let me try.
822
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,600
I thought you were gonna say he used so much surface area
823
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,480
as black and white and calculated it all.
824
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,320
Oh no.
825
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,120
That would be cool.
826
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,480
I don't think I saved a photo of it from the back.
827
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,840
It was a pretty cool picture.
828
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:51,800
See if you can pull it up.
829
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,880
Ah, here it is.
830
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,040
Okay, here's a good photo of it from the back.
831
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,880
Oh, that's cool.
832
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,640
Yeah, so from really far out to sea,
833
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,160
which you can see that the cliffs are so high up
834
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,800
that even if you're close to the shore,
835
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,880
this would probably still look like a white lighthouse
836
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,720
with a black stripe.
837
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,840
Like obviously there's a lot of other colors going on,
838
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,160
but he kind of took into consideration,
839
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,800
apparently, that by regulation
840
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,200
it has to be black and white
841
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,720
to be an active guide to navigation
842
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,440
and made it appear if this was black and white.
843
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,280
I thought that was pretty cool.
844
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,200
Yeah, if you can see the colors, you're too close.
845
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,040
Yeah.
846
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,880
If you're on a boat.
847
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,880
What is the whole point of this lighthouse?
848
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,280
That's funny.
849
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,880
Yeah, so that's one of the things.
850
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,480
Another was gentrification,
851
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,160
which I had to ask you about this morning.
852
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,080
What did you say?
853
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,400
It was urbanizing?
854
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,200
Yeah, to gentrify without Googling it,
855
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,360
I think it means to modernize, to make popular,
856
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,520
to make urban an area that becomes gentrified,
857
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,640
changes from what it was to become busy
858
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,640
and typically progressive.
859
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,440
So I guess that kind of, I get that a little bit.
860
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,800
Yeah, no, I get that.
861
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:03,800
We're lighthouse people.
862
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,800
We can just.
863
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,320
Like classical versus modern artistic.
864
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,400
Exactly, yeah.
865
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,040
So I can kind of see both sides
866
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,720
is that by painting it,
867
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,480
you're making it something really unique
868
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,600
that people come to see specifically,
869
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,920
but also you hope and wish that people
870
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,720
would be able to appreciate the natural lighthouse itself,
871
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,040
but that's just not really true.
872
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,800
People aren't like us where the lighthouse,
873
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,560
just being a lighthouse with all of its history
874
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,040
and cool facts and its location and everything
875
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,120
would be enough for us to go and visit it.
876
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,960
It's just people aren't like that.
877
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,320
Well, people will take, like resto mods is a controversy.
878
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,040
So resto mod, you take a classic vehicle,
879
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,200
like people will take a 1969 Camaro.
880
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,040
Oh no.
881
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,240
If you had a 69 Camaro, it's an awesome car,
882
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,720
but it just performance wise,
883
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,520
it just doesn't compete with like a modern Camry.
884
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,840
Like, you know, it's just not a, it doesn't keep up.
885
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,840
So you could take a 1969 sports car, muscle car of the day,
886
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,920
and then put new tech in it, you know, a Tesla battery,
887
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,960
and it's all of a sudden, it's this awesome performing car.
888
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,800
And some people love that, but it's not what it was.
889
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,280
It's a modern take on what it was.
890
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,520
So that's kind of the same.
891
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,080
People looking at this lighthouse.
892
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,040
Another thing is that they're taking so far into account
893
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,640
the interest of the visitor and not the local people,
894
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,520
because there wasn't a poll to decide
895
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,840
if people were gonna be okay with painting the lighthouse.
896
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,120
It was just paid, done, and then people were like,
897
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,460
hey, look at this.
898
00:32:39,460 --> 00:32:41,640
So it was kind of like, okay,
899
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,680
we know we're focusing on tourism.
900
00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,740
We know we're trying to get more people to come here,
901
00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:48,000
but nobody asked what the locals felt
902
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,260
about painting this lighthouse.
903
00:32:49,260 --> 00:32:52,040
It was just, visitors will come here more likely
904
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,080
if we paint the lighthouse.
905
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,880
So that's another thing.
906
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,660
There's lots of things.
907
00:32:57,660 --> 00:33:01,360
And Okuda says, he has a lot to say about this as well,
908
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,000
because he's straight up in the middle of it.
909
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,320
And he's painted things like churches before,
910
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,760
and so he's kind of like, why are people throwing a fit
911
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,720
over this lighthouse when I've painted a church
912
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,180
to be black and white, or not black and white,
913
00:33:15,180 --> 00:33:17,840
yeah, you know, colorful, and there's drips
914
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,880
coming down the walls and it has something to do with 420.
915
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,880
I saw that in the title of the coverage.
916
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,040
So he's like, I don't understand that.
917
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,120
He says that the Spanish are mad at him for it
918
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,640
because they don't appreciate art from their own country.
919
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,640
So there's a little bit of bitterness.
920
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,400
It's like, oh, wow.
921
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,480
And this was during COVID.
922
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,680
So he says a lot, it's like keyboard warriors coming out.
923
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,560
Well, I think he's right about that.
924
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,800
Everybody got online and everybody continued to.
925
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:47,960
COVID thing is totally right.
926
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,560
You're like seeing it happen from far away.
927
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,440
You can say whatever you wanna say about it.
928
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,800
Okuda claims the point of art is to quote,
929
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,400
make you feel and not leave you indifferent,
930
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,400
which he is accomplishing by this lighthouse,
931
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,120
regardless of how you feel about it,
932
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,520
unless you're indifferent and then that's not.
933
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,260
Yeah.
934
00:34:06,260 --> 00:34:07,640
It's pretty.
935
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,240
He says Port Authority has decided he gets eight years
936
00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:12,040
before they paint it white again.
937
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:17,040
I saw a lot of sources that said eight years
938
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,480
would be about how long it would take
939
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,360
for the paint itself to degrade.
940
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,640
And so they would just paint over it.
941
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,360
And they were saying they would do a touch up in four years,
942
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,840
but then after eight years,
943
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,920
they'd be done with it and paint it white.
944
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,800
But Okuda says that Port Authority decided
945
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,960
he gets eight years and then they were gonna wipe it out.
946
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,480
So I don't know, I've seen both.
947
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,720
Well, so he did this in three days.
948
00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:42,560
Yes.
949
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,400
So there's no way, it's gotta be spray paint, right?
950
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,700
Yeah, it's spray paint.
951
00:34:47,700 --> 00:34:49,720
I guess I actually have photos of that.
952
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,080
I'm guessing spray paint doesn't last as long.
953
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,900
Nice.
954
00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:53,740
Oh, look at him.
955
00:34:53,740 --> 00:34:55,960
Yeah, he's really pushing his brand there.
956
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,760
Yeah, I wonder if he designed his own clothes there.
957
00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,880
Oh, absolutely.
958
00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,800
This skull is actually one of his signature designs
959
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:04,640
that he does.
960
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,200
He's even got the six panel hat.
961
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,800
Oh yeah, oh my gosh.
962
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,960
Very hippie, very hippie, definitely smokes.
963
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,160
No, that's really cool.
964
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,840
Yeah, he's got this.
965
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:15,680
Oh, he's got his lift.
966
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:16,520
Yeah.
967
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,440
Yeah, so he can get up.
968
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,040
So I like those panels as well.
969
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,040
There's probably a little light inside.
970
00:35:23,140 --> 00:35:25,680
So eight years is the contract, if you will,
971
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:26,520
before it's repainted.
972
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,360
Right.
973
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,180
And they're gonna paint it white.
974
00:35:28,180 --> 00:35:29,020
That's already been decided?
975
00:35:29,020 --> 00:35:29,860
Mm-hmm.
976
00:35:29,860 --> 00:35:30,680
Okay.
977
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,520
Yeah.
978
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,580
Well, so this is done in 2020.
979
00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:34,640
Did they have numbers on visitors since this?
980
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:35,480
Did it work?
981
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,480
Yeah, I'll say that in a second.
982
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,320
Okay.
983
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,520
Okuda is hoping that after those eight years,
984
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,720
whoever is the person that decides to recover his artwork
985
00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:46,920
will choose differently.
986
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,960
It's kind of like, it's decided,
987
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,560
but hoping after eight years,
988
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,680
there'll be different feeling around it
989
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,640
once it's been integrated a little bit more.
990
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,400
But he's also a graffiti artist.
991
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,480
That's kind of how he started out, was doing graffiti.
992
00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,500
Okay.
993
00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,500
And so he says that he's used to his work
994
00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:03,800
having a small lifespan.
995
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,300
He's like, he's used to painting something,
996
00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:07,000
and within days, it's covered back up.
997
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,320
So he's like, I can understand and appreciate
998
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,520
the having my art having a lifespan,
999
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,160
but in my heart, it will always live on.
1000
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,400
Yeah, eight years for some spray paint
1001
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400
is more than the average, I guess.
1002
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,780
It's quite nice, actually.
1003
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,080
You never know, they can decide to keep it.
1004
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,920
Yeah.
1005
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,360
He's actually been offered more lighthouses
1006
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,080
to paint in Spain, but doesn't give any details
1007
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,200
about which ones those are.
1008
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,520
He said it includes one that's on an island,
1009
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,160
which I didn't see any prominent island lighthouses
1010
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,160
in Spain, except for, it could be the Isla Moro lighthouse,
1011
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,120
which is also in the Bay of Biscay, which is Cantabria.
1012
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,560
And he's a Cantabrian artist,
1013
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,280
so I think it would be more likely for him
1014
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:54,140
to paint another lighthouse where it's culturally,
1015
00:36:54,140 --> 00:36:57,320
would plant some meaning back into its location,
1016
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,400
and not just some rando painting a lighthouse somewhere.
1017
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,400
There's not a concept, but a, I guess a program.
1018
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,820
It's asset of cultural interest.
1019
00:37:07,820 --> 00:37:12,820
It's kind of like us making the national protected places.
1020
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,360
Gosh, I can't remember what it's called.
1021
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,320
It's like every lighthouse is under this.
1022
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,520
Historic.
1023
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,120
Historic places.
1024
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:22,960
Oh, we talked about this.
1025
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:23,800
I know, every time.
1026
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,120
We talked about East Brother Light.
1027
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,080
National something of historic somethings.
1028
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,820
You guys know where we're talking about.
1029
00:37:32,820 --> 00:37:33,660
It means you can't touch it.
1030
00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:38,500
It's like that in Spain, where they have protected places.
1031
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:39,340
Historic.
1032
00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:41,940
Yeah, culturally protected.
1033
00:37:41,940 --> 00:37:45,380
And there's only eight lighthouses in Spain
1034
00:37:45,380 --> 00:37:47,540
that are on this protected list,
1035
00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:50,080
which would prevent it from being painted
1036
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,100
the way that he paints lighthouses.
1037
00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:55,380
So any culturally well-known lighthouses
1038
00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:57,100
that would be on this list would not be painted,
1039
00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:57,940
so I think that's probably why
1040
00:37:57,940 --> 00:38:00,660
I had a hard time finding an island lighthouse
1041
00:38:00,660 --> 00:38:02,980
because it wouldn't pop up as easily
1042
00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:04,900
as these lighthouses that are protected,
1043
00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:06,860
that are an asset of cultural interest.
1044
00:38:06,860 --> 00:38:07,860
Okay.
1045
00:38:07,860 --> 00:38:10,700
Anyway, it has a couple layers of varnish on it,
1046
00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:11,860
but he said, like I said,
1047
00:38:11,860 --> 00:38:13,860
there was gonna be like a touch-up in four years,
1048
00:38:13,860 --> 00:38:16,060
and around eight years it'd be decided
1049
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:16,980
if it'll be white again,
1050
00:38:16,980 --> 00:38:19,260
so you have to visit before 2028
1051
00:38:19,260 --> 00:38:21,860
to definitely see his artwork on this lighthouse.
1052
00:38:21,860 --> 00:38:24,580
It's kind of the fun thing is it has a lifespan.
1053
00:38:24,580 --> 00:38:26,200
So if you're a visitor,
1054
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,100
it makes it more likely for you to come
1055
00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:29,100
and visit here pretty soon.
1056
00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:29,920
I even thought about it.
1057
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,540
I was like, oh, we're gonna be in Spain.
1058
00:38:31,540 --> 00:38:32,380
We should go out there,
1059
00:38:32,380 --> 00:38:34,380
but it would be a whole excursion.
1060
00:38:34,380 --> 00:38:35,220
Pretty far away from where we're going.
1061
00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:37,460
We'd definitely have to fly there, I think.
1062
00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:41,920
In only 11 days, his art brought 28,000 visitors
1063
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:42,760
to this lighthouse.
1064
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,540
So probably within two weeks,
1065
00:38:45,540 --> 00:38:49,780
we saw as many visitors as we saw in the past three years
1066
00:38:49,780 --> 00:38:51,380
of the life of this lighthouse.
1067
00:38:51,380 --> 00:38:53,020
That is crazy.
1068
00:38:53,020 --> 00:38:54,020
I know.
1069
00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:55,420
So it's definitely working,
1070
00:38:55,420 --> 00:38:57,140
but it's also free.
1071
00:38:57,140 --> 00:39:00,420
And so people that are against it say,
1072
00:39:00,420 --> 00:39:03,740
what is the point of bringing people to see this lighthouse
1073
00:39:03,740 --> 00:39:06,540
if they're not actually putting any money
1074
00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:08,780
into the lighthouse or the environment
1075
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:10,620
or the city or anything like that?
1076
00:39:10,620 --> 00:39:13,260
I think they're assuming that a lot of people are Spanish
1077
00:39:13,260 --> 00:39:14,420
and are coming to see it like,
1078
00:39:14,420 --> 00:39:17,960
oh, we'll just drive up there for a day and then go home.
1079
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,980
But people like us would be staying in Ajo.
1080
00:39:20,980 --> 00:39:22,420
Visitors, yeah.
1081
00:39:22,420 --> 00:39:24,060
So kind of has both ways.
1082
00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:26,580
There's some people who don't want visitors.
1083
00:39:26,580 --> 00:39:28,460
I lived in Colorado for a short period.
1084
00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:32,340
And everyone loves to visit Colorado.
1085
00:39:32,340 --> 00:39:33,780
I still like to visit there.
1086
00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:37,100
But being someone who was a Coloradan,
1087
00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:37,940
it was kind of,
1088
00:39:40,020 --> 00:39:42,340
didn't really love the tourism.
1089
00:39:42,340 --> 00:39:44,460
Because people would bring their, I don't know,
1090
00:39:44,460 --> 00:39:47,020
they come up and treat your place like a playground
1091
00:39:47,020 --> 00:39:47,860
and then they leave.
1092
00:39:47,860 --> 00:39:48,860
That's true.
1093
00:39:48,860 --> 00:39:52,460
Yeah, it's part of half and half of tourism.
1094
00:39:52,460 --> 00:39:55,820
It can be something your community relies on,
1095
00:39:55,820 --> 00:39:58,500
but it would also be pretty annoying.
1096
00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:01,580
You don't wanna cater to tourism if you don't want tourism.
1097
00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:03,380
So that might also be a problem with this
1098
00:40:03,380 --> 00:40:06,500
is that nobody said we needed tourism,
1099
00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:07,740
but all of a sudden they're putting money
1100
00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:08,860
into having people visit.
1101
00:40:08,860 --> 00:40:09,860
And they're like, why would we do that
1102
00:40:09,860 --> 00:40:11,260
when we can just enjoy it ourselves
1103
00:40:11,260 --> 00:40:12,420
the way it is naturally?
1104
00:40:12,420 --> 00:40:14,060
Well, at least there's not like,
1105
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,300
Toby Smith, we talked about Paradise Island in the Bahamas.
1106
00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:20,700
And he was saying,
1107
00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:24,740
his idea of developing that lighthouse into a beach club
1108
00:40:24,740 --> 00:40:28,860
and having locals be able to have local land
1109
00:40:28,860 --> 00:40:31,100
be accessed by them, not just tourists.
1110
00:40:32,300 --> 00:40:36,260
Some other corporations that were nearby didn't share that.
1111
00:40:36,260 --> 00:40:38,820
So it was like, well, we don't really want locals here.
1112
00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:40,340
We're for tourism.
1113
00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:42,780
Locals have a special rate on the days
1114
00:40:42,780 --> 00:40:43,940
that we're not open to tourism.
1115
00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:44,780
It's just weird.
1116
00:40:44,780 --> 00:40:46,780
Yeah, and Toby's not saying like,
1117
00:40:46,780 --> 00:40:50,020
we don't want tourism, so this is for locals only.
1118
00:40:50,020 --> 00:40:53,260
He's just saying they would employ locals only
1119
00:40:53,260 --> 00:40:56,220
so that there's some money going back and forth there
1120
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:57,780
and then tourists could come and visit
1121
00:40:57,780 --> 00:41:00,620
and it would be a reason to go and see it.
1122
00:41:00,620 --> 00:41:02,220
Benefits for everybody.
1123
00:41:02,220 --> 00:41:04,400
But don't let the controversy scare you away
1124
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,540
from this lighthouse.
1125
00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:08,260
It's still, I know I just talked about it a lot,
1126
00:41:08,260 --> 00:41:11,900
but the lighthouse itself deserves to be visited
1127
00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:13,660
regardless if it's painted or not.
1128
00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:14,980
I think it would be cool to see it
1129
00:41:14,980 --> 00:41:17,340
while it's painted before 2028.
1130
00:41:17,340 --> 00:41:20,300
That new white paint though, that's gonna look good.
1131
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:22,780
It's really bright and nice.
1132
00:41:22,780 --> 00:41:24,300
So if it's gotten this many visitors,
1133
00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:27,660
why not, I'm sure they are open to it,
1134
00:41:27,660 --> 00:41:30,300
why not entertain the idea of having him
1135
00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:33,660
or a different artist put a new exhibit on
1136
00:41:33,660 --> 00:41:34,780
for the next eight years?
1137
00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:36,060
Wouldn't that be cool?
1138
00:41:36,060 --> 00:41:37,220
I think that would be awesome,
1139
00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:39,140
but I think it's the fact that this lighthouse
1140
00:41:39,140 --> 00:41:41,220
wasn't built to have paint.
1141
00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:44,140
Like, it's not built to be a gallery of artists.
1142
00:41:44,140 --> 00:41:46,020
It's just to be a lighthouse
1143
00:41:46,020 --> 00:41:48,060
and can be appreciated just as a lighthouse.
1144
00:41:48,060 --> 00:41:50,300
But instead, in their eyes,
1145
00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:52,340
they're turning it into this debacle
1146
00:41:52,340 --> 00:41:53,620
where it's like, oh my gosh,
1147
00:41:53,620 --> 00:41:56,740
do we really have to make it so out there
1148
00:41:56,740 --> 00:41:58,820
and so modern and everything
1149
00:41:58,820 --> 00:42:00,060
for people to come and appreciate it?
1150
00:42:00,060 --> 00:42:02,180
Or can it just be the way that it is?
1151
00:42:02,180 --> 00:42:03,300
I can appreciate that.
1152
00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:06,680
But I wanna see it, I'm not gonna let that deter me.
1153
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,500
I wanna go see it the way that it looks now
1154
00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:13,500
because it's the most colorful, visually exciting lighthouse
1155
00:42:13,980 --> 00:42:14,820
that I've seen.
1156
00:42:14,820 --> 00:42:17,300
Whoa, walk that back.
1157
00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:20,220
Not the most visually exciting I've seen,
1158
00:42:20,220 --> 00:42:22,500
but the most visually unique lighthouse
1159
00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:23,340
that I've seen so far.
1160
00:42:23,340 --> 00:42:25,220
That's gotta be true, yeah.
1161
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:26,040
That's all I got.
1162
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,880
The hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.,
1163
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,820
so just this short little four-hour window
1164
00:42:31,820 --> 00:42:33,980
on weekends only during low season,
1165
00:42:33,980 --> 00:42:35,820
which is any time other than summer.
1166
00:42:35,820 --> 00:42:38,260
But during the summer, they're open from 11 to two
1167
00:42:38,260 --> 00:42:40,860
and then they have a two-hour break and then four to nine.
1168
00:42:40,860 --> 00:42:44,340
And people that have visited and write blogs
1169
00:42:44,340 --> 00:42:47,180
and reviews and stuff say that the best time to visit
1170
00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:50,260
is sunset because you get to look out over the water
1171
00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:51,740
and see the sunset and it's all.
1172
00:42:51,740 --> 00:42:52,580
The golden hour.
1173
00:42:52,580 --> 00:42:54,900
Yes, the golden hour.
1174
00:42:54,900 --> 00:42:56,460
That's apparently the time.
1175
00:42:56,460 --> 00:42:58,020
It's weird that they're open and closed,
1176
00:42:58,020 --> 00:42:58,960
to be honest with you.
1177
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,460
Yeah, well, you got people probably volunteering
1178
00:43:02,460 --> 00:43:04,620
to keep it open.
1179
00:43:04,620 --> 00:43:06,580
Some facility nearby.
1180
00:43:06,580 --> 00:43:09,880
You gotta have people running, it's like the gates open.
1181
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,300
There are gates to get in
1182
00:43:11,300 --> 00:43:12,820
because it's somebody's private property,
1183
00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:15,260
so I can understand that.
1184
00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:16,780
Hope they get paid something.
1185
00:43:16,780 --> 00:43:18,260
Yeah, right, I know.
1186
00:43:18,260 --> 00:43:19,100
Yeah, that's neat.
1187
00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:20,260
It's very pretty.
1188
00:43:20,260 --> 00:43:21,340
I like the black top.
1189
00:43:21,340 --> 00:43:22,580
I know that's pretty common,
1190
00:43:22,580 --> 00:43:25,700
but it's a nice contrast to all the other.
1191
00:43:25,700 --> 00:43:27,820
It's nice that he didn't touch the top, I think.
1192
00:43:27,820 --> 00:43:28,980
I think so too.
1193
00:43:28,980 --> 00:43:30,220
Gorgeous cliffside.
1194
00:43:30,220 --> 00:43:31,060
I know it.
1195
00:43:31,060 --> 00:43:32,620
That's in a really nice location.
1196
00:43:32,620 --> 00:43:35,780
That is the Faro de Ajo Lighthouse
1197
00:43:35,780 --> 00:43:37,100
or the Garlic Lighthouse.
1198
00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:38,300
Garlic.
1199
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:39,980
I think Faro is lighthouse,
1200
00:43:39,980 --> 00:43:41,860
so it's just the Faro de Ajo.
1201
00:43:41,860 --> 00:43:44,780
And I'm like, Faro de Ajo Lighthouse,
1202
00:43:44,780 --> 00:43:46,220
Garlic Lighthouse Lighthouse.
1203
00:43:46,220 --> 00:43:47,620
It's like saying ATM machine.
1204
00:43:48,940 --> 00:43:49,780
Oh.
1205
00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:51,380
Automatic teller machine, machine.
1206
00:43:51,380 --> 00:43:52,500
I was like, wait, what?
1207
00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:53,780
Is that wait, automatic teller?
1208
00:43:53,780 --> 00:43:55,700
Yeah, like a bank teller anyways.
1209
00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,300
You came up with that example extremely fast.
1210
00:44:00,300 --> 00:44:02,180
People say it sometimes.
1211
00:44:02,180 --> 00:44:03,020
It's a thing.
1212
00:44:03,020 --> 00:44:03,840
It's funny.
1213
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,380
Well, I have all of the links I used in the show notes
1214
00:44:08,380 --> 00:44:09,660
so you can kind of read about it yourself.
1215
00:44:09,660 --> 00:44:10,620
There's a lot more detail
1216
00:44:10,620 --> 00:44:12,060
I didn't include in my bullet points.
1217
00:44:12,060 --> 00:44:15,700
And you can look up Sea Glass and Faro de Ajo,
1218
00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:17,300
all that stuff.
1219
00:44:17,300 --> 00:44:18,540
You can take a look at it.
1220
00:44:18,540 --> 00:44:21,260
I got some blog posts and stuff in the references.
1221
00:44:21,260 --> 00:44:24,540
So read up in our show notes.
1222
00:44:24,540 --> 00:44:27,460
Also gonna link where you can see us on Instagram
1223
00:44:27,460 --> 00:44:30,660
and YouTube and LinkedIn and all of that in our link tree.
1224
00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:33,900
So just one link to take you anywhere
1225
00:44:33,900 --> 00:44:36,140
to do with our podcast.
1226
00:44:36,140 --> 00:44:36,980
Good work.
1227
00:44:36,980 --> 00:44:38,260
Thanks for presenting today.
1228
00:44:38,260 --> 00:44:39,500
Yeah, thanks everyone for listening.
1229
00:44:39,500 --> 00:44:41,340
We hope you had a good time
1230
00:44:41,340 --> 00:44:44,020
and you're ready to visit us again.
1231
00:44:44,020 --> 00:44:48,300
He gets worse and worse every time trying to remember it.
1232
00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:51,580
We'll see you next time on the Lighthouse Logo.
1233
00:44:51,580 --> 00:45:11,500
Come in and take a look.
