The acid is technically real acid, however so is lemon juice. The acid the Sea Shepherds throw is rancid butter (a very good stink bomb), which is less corrosive and harmful than sea water. And as for the risk of death, they know they can die when they sign up and none of them think otherwise. Also, in over 30 years SSCS has lost no one and has not had one serious injury. The Japanese whalers have lost at least three people in six years.

I don’t really know what they plan to do with it, either. Although a SeaDoo of that calibre is quite zippy, that can’t be said in such rough waters. I don’t think I’ve seen a single episode that showed calm enough waters that would allow it to reach a decent speed. The Antarctic sea is quite rough, and I think the skiffs will have a better time of it in the waves. Also, can a SeaDoo survive an ice collision at 45 mph? Given the number of times the Steve Irwin has lost the skiffs in anything less than clear weather, I fear for the safety of the rider if he/she gets unseated in rough water or the SeaDoo sinks from an ice strike.

Pretty funny there Seatard you correct my spelling and forget to Capitalize Japanese (A proper noun)! I see your degree in dipstickery has shot you to the stratosphere Mr UnEinstein.

Save the Whale for Me! I’ll eat that puppy with a side of seal.

I think your #1 also. Here pick a finger!;)

I’m seriously pleased with this news. :’ D If only I wear a little older, I would take my place on the SS and would be on a SeaDoo in seconds, the adrenaline rush would be amazing, being the machine, animal, and water lover I am. I would love to climb onto those poor Whales to release them from my country’s ships. Although they are already shot, and many being too wounded to be saved, their deaths will matter more on the Sea Floor where animals that don’t eat for months at a time, will enjoy take the meat to better use, AND, it won’t harm them with the massive amounts of mercury and other toxins. It could even flourish species we’ve thought to be extinct that could just be in hiding, one never knows…. But I do know the Ocean is quickly turning to… Well…. Shit.

And as it does, it affects Humanity as well. Nice job Humans, nice job.

My wishes of luck out to you SS and Crew. Kick some ass!

I agree with some of what you said. I think the Japs already knew they weren’t ice worthy. Pretty much all the other stuff they knew to, but the SS worked around it. This is going to be a new season and both sides will have new tricks up there sleeves and the SS will have two boats out this year plus a bunch of other stuff. It should be interesting to watch. I hope nobody gets hurt.

Wow..as much as I hate to say it, sounds really dangerous…so dangerous I can’t wait to see the episodes and what happens…this is some great drama.
