Down Winding on the High Seas... Imagine down winding with whales in the Southern Ocean, with about 5 metres of swell, 20 knots, and some support vessels...

Fast forward to 1:29 for some action... But I encourage you to watch the entire video. First half gives a background on Captain Paul Watson's early days, and the second half gets into what's been happening over the last 8 years or so.



And now imagine a world without whales...

Great vid. That footage with the FM and the NM is jaw dropping. I do think a bit of video license was used with angle's to make it look worse but that is a big ship to go up against in those conditions.

Huge respect.

SSCS are not for everyone i understand that. Paul Watson and his crew have some big adversaries in the media and the full story just is always a little blurry but what a amazing man and team.

An announcement only a few weeks ago adding a fourth ship to the fleet. Huge thumbs up

That was great.. Long.. But still great and worth watching.. Glad they showed the ramming of their new boat right at the end.. Unbelievable.
