Getting on a Sea Shepherd ship for this seasons campaign! 1

I had an industry hook up, a person I sailed with used to date someone in the Sea Shepherd fleet, I got an email address. (meaning I've somehow bypassed the fucking infinite queue of hippies no doubt wanting to get on)
I sent an email with all my previous antarctic seagoing experience and qualifications and this evening I got an email from one of the captains in the fleet asking if I am available to join the end of November for the anti-whaling campaign through until March
holy shit
I can't sleep Pretty nervous about the whole thing no idea what I'm getting myself into but very exciting....!
Not 100% confirmed yet but they sounded pretty excited about my previous experience etc...
it will be really good to do something with my seagoing life that serves something other than my own financial interests.

All this to save whales? Now that's committed.

Isn't that the dumb activist group that pretends they are some sort of whale saving pirates but all they really do is barely annoy Japanese fishing ships? 
At least it's something you can be passionate about, with the work experience that you hold.

It will look great on a resume: "what are you good at?" Answer: "throwing stink bombs at Japanese whaling ships."
Definitely get some mad job skills and opportunities from that.

Maybe I'm getting this idea from the South Park episode about the topic, but isn't it sorta stupid to throw rotten food at people covered in fish guts? Like they give a fuck.

Haven't they figure out a way to ruin the whale carcass so that the whalers cannot make money from them?

Yes, they kill the whales and let them rot. At least the Japanese are eating them and not using them for scientific experiments like they claim.

Maybe I'm getting this idea from the South Park episode about the topic, but isn't it sorta stupid to throw rotten food at people covered in fish guts? Like they give a fuck. 
I wondered that since whale wars first episode, and considering throughout the show's season, how many episodes are actually confrontational, and not bitching, and trying to fix whatever mistake one of the other dumbasses make? And how long are these confrontations? I'm willing to bet that if you condensed the whole series down to just scenes harassing the whaler's you might only have 3 full episodes? So there's about three hours out of the whole whaling season, where you try (and are rarely actually successful) to harass the whalers to stop.
In all honesty though op go for it, i would love to have all that time on the boat just fucking around and harassing people, I just get pissed when they get all preachy, and act like they're REALLY making a difference.
And don't even get me started on the wedding on an iceberg, this whole rant is making me realize the manority of the show's viewership, is made up of assholes like me, and i'm also the only one in my area, who watches it on a regular basis.

Didn't they just get their ship raided by the Russians? Tried to board an oil rig or something to put a sign up and the Russians were like 'no fucking way' and commando'd down on ropes from helicopters to their ship and charged them all with piracy because they got on their rig illegally. Actually now that I think about it that might've been Greenpeace. Either way, don't fuck with Russians.Quote:

Who are they kidding. If shit got real are they even prepared? Do they just expect to run away? I mean I guess the show is almost all fake so what do they have to be prepared for anyway.
