Whale Wars: Discuss.
 
Anyone watch the 2009 season of Whale Wars? What'd you think?

My wife always asks why I watch that show (she hates it). I tell that it
shows everything not to do as a boater. You never know what Paul Watson
might do next. Seems to me that he endangers the crew on a regular basis.

Remember the episode where they got caught in the ice pack, and two crew
are sent below to watch the hull flexing? The cameraman even bailed on
that one. Yikes.

The Japanese got far more aggressive this season, and had them running
scared at times. Bumping the harpoon ship with the Steve Irwin was
amazing. I wonder if the Dutch will cut them loose since the ship is
Dutch registered.

I've never fully seen the program, but have seen plenty of commercials
abotu it.

I'm suprised the Japanese havent run a harpoon though the inflatable.

Or through the pilot house on the bridge.

I really like it... mostly because those guys remind me of the days of
Greenpeace dodging salvos on their zodiacs. Whatever your view, they've got
guts. That ship is not built for ice. The sonic weapons seemed like a dud,
but who knows.

Paul Watson is a moron, a danger to himself, his crew, his ship and
the high seas in general. Peter Brown is a sarcastic narcissist who
panics when the **** hits the fan. Peter Hammarstedt needs a good
spanking and sent home to get a job. Same with his girl friend.

Look, they have a point - the Japanese are invading a conservation
sanctuary to hunt whales - the international commuity wants nothing to
do with confronting them and won't. So they will.

Chucking bottles of rancid butter oil and cellulose fiber at them is
meaningless - as are their attempts to foul props (which is very
dangerous for all concerned) and it's pretty apparent that the all
volunteer crews, while dedicated to a cause, aren't sailors capable of
working with a converted trawler in a dangerous situation.

Too much money....too little brain.
Why don't we send Herring, Loogy, and Scotty the little **** out
there. When they see the 3 of them standing on the foredeck, they'll
laugh so ****ing hard, they wont be able to "Whale".
