Trucker i think that crew are having rough ride on way to holland. All seasick i think as the old north atlantic is really "heaving" up. Heading to st. john,s to wait out weather.

[Trucker001]

Why did you bring up Green Peace Trucker... I could write a rant to end all rants ..

never Forget having two of them show up at my door,Had pry bar in my hand ,kitchen remodel in progress, They said " Hi we're from Green Peace" ,I said "Hi, Im a Newfoundlander"..LOl..they couldnt get of the properey fast enough..


Not a bad looking boat though,, sure would mke a nice reef..

Hehe.. Gulfspan. Greenpece is not everybody's thing, huh.

I can understand a litlle: I saw the last season of "Whale Wars" where the SeaShepards do their thing in southern ocean and take action. While Greenpeace just sits around and take pictures. And this year the SeaShepards almost won the Fight against the japanese Whaling Fleet.

By the way, what are they doing in St. John's...? No dead seals there...?!?

[Trucker001]

Gulfspan i was hoping that the people of st johns would do like the frenchmen in st pierre/miquelon cutting the lines so she cant moor or tie up to any wharf there..  NO I am NOT a supporter of that bunch or criminals...

Stefan  they came to my house also looking for money to support their cause but were met with 2 german shepards and a double barrel shot gun with rock salt and cuyan peppers  no i didnt use it but let the dogs run them off

I hope the Coast Gaurd goes from one end to the other by the book,by the letter of the law.

Green Peace has done its best to distance themselves from megalomaniac Paul Watson.
Whale Wars
Sea Shepard offers great entertainment. its not everyday you get to see the "Master and Commander", pull "Crazy Ivan's" (Which way is he going Jones'y...To The Starboard Sir!!!)screaming Torah Torah Torah..with that stupid,confused,empty look on Watson's mug..I wouldnt let this guy comand a punt.

Never in my life have I witnessed a group cloak racial prejudice under the flag of environmental protection and self righteousness as those morons have done..

The ocean is no place for games when a guy has to go to feed his family ..even worse when you see nut bars and pot heads,offer up a few more hazards..like there isn't enough.

Granted they are of to save the whales ,when they bury one of there own through reckless stupidity they'll change..

Thats my position ..Im to old to change my view,I wont..Dont even bother trying..We'll just be wasting band width.








Thats my position
