Do what you do Sea Shepherd!

Do what you do Sea Shepherd!

You mean raise money or get publicity?

I want to watch the episode where they put that long bow in front of the whaler. I know it's been done before but this one should look impressive getting knocked off. It might just get a 90 degree bend, should make for interesting video whatever happens.

Don't count on it Dennis. I know you, as well as others would probably like to see someone killed but I think they will be a little more careful this year. Sorry to dissappoint you.

Careful doesn't make good television. I'm sure there will be incidents, the difference between cutting it close and a collision is luck.

I certainly don't want to see someone killed, whaler or protester. That's one of the things that upsets me about these antics, sooner or later someone is going to get killed. I've spent my life at sea and safety has always been a prime concern of every vessel I've been on. Watson is out there playing games in arctic waters where survival time is measured in minutes.

Trivia:
Can you tell me what country Paul Watson is licensed as a Captain?
