Another Hell Ship Maru / Blubber eating Japanese
It's a cursed ship, like the Charlie Morgan is now cursed. Joe ************************************************** ************************* Greenpeace says the death of a Japanese sailor during the hunt for whales has brought the controversial season to a premature end. Earlier this afternoon the body of 27-year-old sailor Kazutaka Makita was found after going missing on Thursday in a fire that has stranded the boat. Greenpeace protest vessel Esperanza arrived today to offer assistance to the Nishin Maru, with a number of other ships including a heavy re- supply ship that is tethered to the stricken vessel. Greenpeace Esperanza expedition leader Karly Thomas says they are upset at the tragedy, despite the tense relationship they have with the whaling fleet. |

I recently saw a clip of these guys attempting to stop a Japanese "research" vessel from hunting whales. I guess until the demand disappears there is no reason to want to quit. It is a dirty job, someone has to do it. I believe there was a collision as well. The greenpeace guys are like pirates. They may mean well but they are a dangerous lot of seamen. Have you noticed how many times the word collision and Greenpeace show up in the same sentence? I once had an opportunity to join a crew. I chose not to for other reasons.

It's not clear who's fault it was, but I think it was the Japanese boat captain's fault. Of course I'm a liberal. They sure do have guts... maybe misplaced, but guts. BTW, it's Nuke the Unborn Gay Whales for Jesus. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

The only way that it was the Japanese ships fault was because he drew the attention of the extremists greenpeace boat. Kind of like saying she deserved to be raped because of what she was wearing. This is copied from http://www.kcpc.usyd.edu.au/discovery/9.5.1/9.5.1_whale.html So why all this trouble to kill a whale? The simple answer: oil. One large right whale can provide 25 tons of oil. The oil from whales can be divided into two catergories: whale and sperm. Whale oil comes from baleen whales and is edible. Sperm oil comes from sperm whales and is inedible. Although the oil is the reason for hunting them, every other bit of the whale - from flesh to bone - found a use. The products made from various bits of whale include: € lamp oil (from sperm oil) € margarine and cooking oil (from whale oil) € candles, soaps, cosmetics and perfumes (from sperm oil) € corsets and umbrellas (from whalebone) € whale-meat for human consumption € animal feed (from meat meal) € fertiliser (from bone meal) € string for tennis racquets (from tendons) -- Mundo, The Captain who is a bully and an ass |

GP is fairly extreme, but it looked like the GP boat was on starboard, so it would be up to the whaler to give way initially, and I looks like the GP boat did attempt to back full astern when the capt realized that the whaler was not giving way. Of course, I'm making the assumption, which could be wrong, that the GP capt was telling the truth about the whaler and his own actions. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

The GP boat positioned itself intentionlly to be to starboard to force another vessel off course and you think this is not only acceptable, but brave and admirable? So if you where out sailing and I kept forcing you from a strbd position this would be okay for you? I am not immpressed Mr. Ganz. You may not massage my prostate. In fact you may not even rub cream on my cracked feet. Your license is officially revoked until further notice. -- Mundo, The Captain who is a bully and an ass |

Quite a few years ago I was an active Greenpeace member. I served aboard the Rainbow Warrior for 4 weeks while we photographed and documented maneuvers by the US Navy off the coast of Mexico. They were dumping huge amounts of refuse, but also sinking old, decommissioned vessels whose tanks still contained large amounts of diesel and discarded motor oil. The oil slicks were monstrous. Probably why they chose to do this off the coast of Mexico rather than the US--no one protested down there. Thought you'd like to know. Max |

Check it out... whatever you might say about their politics, they've got guts. Indeed. Greenpeace has a reputation of placing members in large Zodiacs between whales and harpoon guns. I've seen whalers shoot right over the top of the Greenpeacers, which could have decapitated one or more of them had they not dropped to the floor of the Zodiac. This is like Mooron and his infant harp seals--a war between those who make a living at slaughtering animals on the verge of extinction and those who put themselves in harm's way to protect the animals.

He did not ram the Jap sink pot, he bumped into it like a guy hand shake. Had I been at the helm I'd been able to smash that bow in to anchor windless, and I'd be able to put a hole in the whaler. They hardly scratched the paint. It's clear as day the skipper and the crew of the gay boat are not committed. That german sounding man on the loud speaker on the Jap ship is annoying as hell.
