    I could tell by your misinformation. Agree the crew is unfit.

    Agree with you for the most part but if you actually watched the collision they were no where near the whaling ship when they ran out of fuel. It changed course at least three times to ram them. I am sure those guys had just had enough of that butyric acid. YUK!!

    I'm a professional seaman. Watson and his hack international crew of stump humpers are useless, but I like their style.

    It's painful to watch them even try to launch a boat!

    Oh Man, Launching a dinghy while underway isn't that complicated. Maybe we should make them a How-To video with emphasis on painter tension and mail it to them:)

    I have actually watched probably about 1/2 of the shows. I still find it amazing that people keep doing the same thing that clearly doesnt work and expecting different results. As far as my own personal opinion on the subject of harvesting whales. I do not have a problem with harvesting whales for food (or any animal for that matter). The problem I have with it is the way that it is done. I have harvested 100's of animals over the years by different means but I have always done everything I could to do it as quickly as possible and with minimal pain and suffering. I could understand 200 yrs ago that using a harpoon to take a whale was the most humane way to take the animal (still may be today) but with the technology we have today I am sure we could come up with a more humane way to do it.

    :lol: Agreed. I've watched it a few times but found it to be too much like watching a Keystone Cops movie. My husband still watches it but only for the LULZ :lol:

    Yes, I know. I watched every episode, it was like a bad accident and I couldn't look away. I live in So Cal and owned a boat, and wave runners for quite awhile. I never did dumb stuff when I was low on gas. As I said before they're IDIOTS.

    They are modern day Commandos/Pirates for the rights of whales. They certainly got the attention of Discovery Channel Communications since no one else is doing it. I actually became a member on facebook......LOL
