Thank you so much Mortnj, I cant think of anything more worthwhile to do especially because Sea Shepherd always need experienced Volunteers regardless of age. Its taken a Bunch of dedicated old seafarers to stop the Japanese Whaling, we kept Sea Shepherd going on a very tight Budget all monies went into keeping our two main ships at sea. These Oceans will be fished out everywhere unless we become the caretakers of the Oceans. I do hope that Sea Shepherd get to gain more support as we are an action group. we have contact points in the UK Canada and Australia and New Zealand through Sea Shepherd on Google. thanks so much for the postings of support.

We often get the Sea Shepheard ships in Melbourne nad they always get a good crowd. they do so much good and with no payment other than the satisfaction they have helped the whales. Report on the news last night that there are about ten tons of the stuff in Japans freezers, only the older Japs are eating the stuff the younger generatioin are not interested. Hope the international court stop this once and for all. But more work for the good men of Sea Shepheard, a report today says that the large fish of the north, Cod etc are being fished out by illegal fishing boats. If t continues there may be none of these fish within 20 years.


Happy daze John in Oz.
