Farley Mowat Update by Captain Paul Watson

 

1520 Hours AST

 

The Farley Mowat is under attack.

 

11 crewmembers have been arrested by the Mounted
Police for taking pictures of sealers. They were
arrested after 8 sealers physically assaulted 7 Sea
Shepherd crewmembers on the ice with hak-a-piks and
clubs. 

 

The sealers were from the sealing ship the Brady
Mariner out of Newfoundland.

 

The Canadian Coast Guard ship on the scene is the
Amundsen.

 

The 11 Crew In Custody are:

 

Colin Biroc - American

Andre Casanave � American

Alex Cornelissen - Dutch

Laura Dakin � Australian

Ian Fritz - American

Ryan Goyette - American

Peter Hammarstedt - Swedish

Matthew Schwartz - American

Lisa Shalom - Canadian - assaulted

Megan Southern - American

Jerry Vlasak - American - assaulted

 

 

 Other Crew Assaulted:

 

Jon Batchlor - American - assaulted

Lisa Moises - German - assaulted

Ian Robichaud - American - assaulted

Jonny Vasic - American - assaulted

Lisa Moises and Ian Robichaud barely made it back to
the Farley Mowat. They watched as the massive red hull
of the Coast Guard Icebreaker Amundsen bore quickly
down on them in an attempt to cut them off. They could
see chunks of ice flying out from the bow of the ice
breaker but they kept focused on the Farley Mowat and
managed to make it across. 
 
Behind them Jonny Vasic and Jon Batchelor raced to
cross the ice before the Amundsen could cut them off.
Jonny saw the hull looming above him and felt the ice
tremble as a jagged cut slithered before the bow and
opened up. He could see the dark black water widening
as he jumped and made it across, relieved to see that
Jon Batchelor had done the same. Both of them raced
towards the Farley Mowat.
 
Behind them Alex Cornelissen and Lisa Shalom were not
so lucky. They were cut off and unable to cross the
treacherous lead that the Amundsen had opened up.
 
They saw helicopters approaching and police officers
debarking the Ice breaker, their hands on their guns
approaching them.
