Sea Shepherd Defending our Whales

02 Feb 2010

Steve Irwin Returning to Battle the whaling fleet January 30th

WHERE: Victoria Quay, C-Berth, Fremantle, Australia
WHEN: departure time – 0800 (08:00 AM), Saturday, January 30
WHY: The Steve Irwin returns to Antarctica to defend the whales in the Southern Ocean whale sanctuary 
WHO: Captain Paul Watson and crew 

The Sea Shepherd flagship Steve Irwin arrived back in Fremantle on Thursday, January 28th, to make emergency helicopter repairs, refuel, re-provision, and drop off rescued crew from the Sea Shepherd ship Ady Gil, which sank after being deliberately rammed and cut in two by the Japanese vessel Shonan Maru No. 2.Captain Pete Bethune of the Ady Gil will be returning to the campaign as an officer onboard the Steve Irwin. Four of the six Ady Gil have disembarked from the Steve Irwin in Fremantle.

“There is nothing that is easy about this campaign this year,” said Captain Paul Watson. “The supply lines are long, the hunting area is vast, hostile and remote, and this year the Japanese are more violently aggressive than any year before. Despite these obstacles, I am confident that we will once again be able to diminish kill quotas and that we will be able to save the lives of hundreds of whales.”

 For The Oceans
Hi Happy Whale Watchers,
The fight is far from over, visit the Sea Shepherd site, take a look at the Ady Gil footage and make your own mind up of what really happened -  the Japanese Ship slammed the Ady Gil without any thought for the occupants the same way they slaughter the whales without any thought.  The Sea Shepherd has a new ship the ‘Bob Barker’ – navigate around the site and learn about the crew, the fleet, history and much more – enjoy
The Humpback Whales are preparing to depart the Antarctic once again after their 4-6 months feeding.  The early whales will start leaving toward the end of February early March and will start flowing past the Gold Coast around Mid May and we will start officially enjoying their company from the 1st June 2010 and I can’t wait, I have missed them over the summer.  The ocean seems lifeless without their playful antics, their blows coming from the ocean surface makes me feel warm and full of love for these beautiful humpbacks – come on June.
This has been Carol the ‘Whale Women’ until next time.
