For the final days of Sigrid's visit to the New York area, she leaves the rocky North Shore and goes south to a place she knows very well from her childhood—the beach! It's a nice place to visit even in the cooler weather.

Finally home! Sigrid talks about her trip home and how it feels to be back after a month away.

Annette talks about the Wild West, and takes us to a famous gold mining town in South Dakota that was an important part of United States history.

Annette visits the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras, Oregon. A highlight of the collection is a plane that appeared in a very famous movie.

Over the last two decades, the environmental crisis of Florida’s Lake Okeechobee has continued to worsen and dominate local headlines. The lake is the nation’s second largest freshwater lake, but due to years of missteps, it’s been producing massive amounts of toxic algae that have closed beaches, destroyed businesses and poisoned swimmers.

Florida might seem like paradise, but water contamination is a big problem, affecting not only the environment, but businesses and the health of the residents.

Agricultural and corporate interests have long dominated Florida legislature, despite protests from residents and a substantial threat to civilians.

Bunny Wailer and other other one-time bandmates of reggae legend Bob Marley recall the rough and tumble early days of the band in Kingston. This is a must-see for all reggae fans, especially the soulful a capella chorus of "Small Axe" sung by Bunny at the end of the video!

The East Coast of the United States of America stretches from the tropical blue seas and white sand of Florida’s Sunshine State to the Canadian border in the North. We begin our journey in the warm and relaxed islands of the Florida Keys, where modern-day treasure hunters are still at work, hunting for sunken Spanish gold.

When the Fisher family of treasure seekers finally struck it rich, the local authorities tried to claim the bounty for themselves, and the case went to the Supreme Court. We learn how the “Florida Keys” got their name, and how these small outlying islands are linked to the mainland.

The town of Marathon in the Florida Keys is home to a unique hospital dedicated solely to caring for sea turtles. Marine biologist Bette Zirkelbach tells us about the dangers that sea turtles face in the wild. A lifesaving operation takes place, and a turtle is treated for a mysterious viral infection.

The only coral barrier reef in the United States surrounds the Florida Keys archipelago, and has been badly damaged by environmental pressures including ocean warming. The Coral Restoration Foundation is dedicated to its salvation, and in underwater nurseries, new coral is being grown to replenish the reef.

We head northward into the great swampy wilderness of the Florida Everglades. Airboat Captain Jesse Kennon knows his way around these marshes and where to find their most well-known and well-feared inhabitant: the alligator!

Jesse Kennon’s family are the only permanent residents of Coopertown, and he takes on responsibilities as town mayor. A short way further up the coast lies Miami, once another small town, which underwent an almost miraculous growth to become the vibrant tourism, relaxation, and business hub we know today.

By the beaches of South Florida the lifestyle is relaxed, with plenty of time for outdoor activities. We meet Sean Reyngoudt, whose life changed when he lost a leg in an accident as a teenager. But that didn’t stop him becoming a wakeboarding champion and enjoying life to the fullest.
