I watch it, of course whaling isn't good but I only watch it to see the humorous ways of the captain, and of course his 1st mate.. Seems he's clueless about organisational skills and has a bad attitude towards his peers.

All I say, there are much better ways than what they do frequently..

Tore, I think you're speaking about this (http://www.shipsim.com/ShipSimForum/index.php/topic,15333.0.html) one, which is locked due to one clown that escaped from the circus that day.

Really... I have visited the offices here in washington, they are very professional. Just because some people think that killing all the whales in the ocean is acceptable doesn't mean that the people trying to stop it are unprofessional.

I'm not talking about their goal, i'm talking about the crew on board.

A captain who sends his ship into an icefield, while the ship has no ice class at all. A chief mate who cant steer the manually. A crew that freaks out because a fault in the gyro compass (whatever happend to the magnetic compass?!). Crew getting lost at sea with the RIB because they have no experience at all.

Need to mention more?  ;D

Well seeing them in action says it all - and it's them onboard that count.

I don't see Peter Brown being proffessional at all...
Come to think of it, does any of the officers onboard hold licenses/tickets? If not it wouldn't surprise me..

Hi all,
It's good to see that everyone is being civil.

Please make sure it stays that way.  :police:
This is just a reminder.  ;)

I love Whale Wars, have done for quite a while as people can tell from my signature. I think that it's disappointing most of the people on this forum find them very unprofessional and reckless. The reckless part I disagree with, as after all if it stops whales being hunted then I'm all for it. The unprofessional part I partly agree with, as the only reason people think this is because of first mate Peter Brown, whose attitude to everyone else onboard is disgusting, especially when he turned down modernisation by someone from the US Navy (who would have training and experience) for a flipping check-list.
As for Sea Shepherd's tactics, I strongly support them compared to Greenpeace, who honestly just park their boats to make it more awkward and hold up signs. You can see which tactic works better by the fact that the Japanese whalers are absolutely terrified of Sea Shepherd, they even built nets around their ships so that Sea Shepherd can't board them. If you look at the whalers website, you will find more videos and photos on Sea Shepherd than that of Greenpeace which goes to show which is more effective in their encounters.

A captain who sends his ship into an icefield, while the ship has no ice class at all.

The ice was small, and easy to sail through. What you're thinking of is later on, but that was the weather's fault, as the Steve Irwin was only sheltering behind an iceberg from the wind when the next morning it was surrounded by ice.

A chief mate who cant steer the manually.

Peter Brown is an idiot, don't let his idiocy make you judge the rest of the crew.

A crew that freaks out because a fault in the gyro compass (whatever happend to the magnetic compass?!).

The gyro compass controls the pitch and roll of the ship in heavy seas, when that went offline the whole ship went bonkers, but they didn't freak out at all like you just said they did. I thought the way they handled it was really well, the crew laughed at it, whilst the people on the bridge handled and fixed it in a very professional manner I thought. The fact he fixed something so delicate in so little time I find very professional.

Crew getting lost at sea with the RIB because they have no experience at all.

It's impossible to have a radio conversation whilst they are going at the speed they are, especially in heavy seas, if you want to stop a boat just to have a conversation whilst in pursuit of whalers then be my guest.

I don't see Peter Brown being proffessional at all...

Who does?

   you  dont say  the 1st mate  is  fool   a 12 year old  could do a better  job  than him.  the  thing  is but from thair background thay do a good  job   after all thay  are just  hippys  and who duznt like hippys :D


They aren't hippies, just because some have beards does that mean they adhere to the hippy stereotype? I'm pretty sure the stereotype of fishermen having beards is more close than the hippy stereotype. Besides, aren't hippies non-violent and just stand around holding signs? I thought we were criticising Sea Shepherd for not having those values like Greenpeace does. Yes I said it, Greenpeace are more like hippies than Sea Shepherd.

Paul Watson makes a complete fool out of himself with his incompetent and unprofessional crew.

I think the way Paul Watson handled the ice field situation is self-explanatory, how can he make a fool of himself when his way of handling things is like a relief and a godsend. Peter Brown is an idiot, yes we all know that, and when Paul Watson took command everything became more calm and relaxing. But the rest of the crew isn't incompetent and unprofessional, they are geniuses hushed down by Peter Brown's stubbornness to change.

And add a full stop... Not 'and add a period...'

Which is a polite way to say please stop picking on Chris because of his punctuation and grammer. Yes, it was a bit amusing the first time you and WM said that up the page, but perhaps it is likely to cause offence if continued.*


*And anyone who quotes this post to me later on when I rip somebody to bits for their grammer, punctuation and spelling is going to find that I deny writing this post. (WM you have been warned!  ;D)

1st Mate is clearly clueless :doh:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvEAbi0aPdc&feature=PlayList&p=C1CBEA5A1B2986D0&index=46

"Which way do I need to go, Port or Starboard?"
"Port"
"I can't go to Port I'm already all the way over to starboard!"

What was the point of asking then!?  ::)

The point I was making is that you had a bit of a laugh at Chris, but perhaps it isn't funny to keep on at him. There's already been a post from a God-erator asking for us not to declare war on each other. I am not declaring war on you, you will be relieved to hear, just trying to ask you to leave Chris alone.

Right- I'm off to join the UN...

EDIT: Please tell me that A)That wasn't the 1st mate at the helm... not worried about him not knowing left/right, but pannicking. B)That shot with the hull buckling was trick photography and not real ice... Interesting video Nathan
