Merry Christmas to the Greenpeace crew from the Sea
Shepherd Crew
www.seashepherd.com
[Crew in front of Farley Mowat, Melbourne port,
Australia] The Captain and crew of the Farley Mowat
send their best wishes on the Christmas day to the
Captains and crews of the Greenpeace ships Esperanza
and Arctic Sunrise. The crew of the Farley Mowat and
both Greenpeace ships share the common experience of
spending Christmas in the waters off the coast of
Antarctica.
There is probably no more beautiful place on Earth to
spend Christmas than these waters peppered with
mammoth icebergs and waters where whales, seals and
penguins swim.
This Christmas morning our crew were able to see
crewmembers on the Esperanza for the first time as the
Farley Mowat approached the Japanese Whaling fleet.
What can be more in the spirit of Christmas than
devoting this time to serving the whales, the oceans,
and the Earth.
"What we have in common with the men and women on
the Greenpeace ships is that all of us our down here
in these remote and cold southern waters to defend and
protect some of the most intelligent and sociable
mammals in the world the gentle and great whales."
Emily Hunter, daughter of the first
Greenpeace President and co-founder the late Robert
Hunter
Quartermaster on the Farley Mowat
"We may have our disagreements on tactics and
bureaucracy, but Sea Shepherd was born from Greenpeace
and many of the original Greenpeace founders and crew
were founding members of Sea Shepherd and crewmembers
on Sea Shepherd ships. I have always respected the
crews on Greenpeace ships and I believe that most
Greenpeace crew respect Sea Shepherd crews and why
not? We are engaged in a common cause and that cause
is to protect life in the world's oceans. So, a very
Merry Christmas to all of you on the Esperanza and the
Arctic Sunrise. You have had a good week harassing
those who kill our friends in the sea and we know the
Esperanza is pissing off the Captains of the Japanese
fleet because they can't shake off the pursuit."
Captain Paul Watson
Greenpeace co-founder and former
Greenpeace director 1972-1977
Sea Shepherd founder 1977 and president
"It takes all kinds working together to make a
difference. Be strong, be safe, and stick to your
principles. Our thoughts are with you Nice to see
you today!"
Casson Trenor from Seattle, WA, USA
3rd Cook on the Farley Mowat
"The only way to save whales is to save their
lives. It is not about organizations. It's only about
the whales and their future."
Geert www.whaleweirdo.org
Ship's artist from the Netherlands
"Happy holidays Greenpeace. Let's make this time
special for the whales and chase these killers back to
Japan or back to somewhere. Odin, I'll be waving to
you from the Farley Mowat."
Inde (Julia Faris) from Oregon
Deckhand on the Farley Mowat
"Feliz natal e um otimo ano novo para todos. Que
nosso presente seja um "sushi de Baleeiros Japoneses,"
e que salvar os oceanos seja nosso presente para a
humanidade. Abracos"
Gunter Schwabenland (Quartermaster)
e Roberta Kleber (2nd Cook)

ship samples for scientific research. We wish you

"Membre de votre organisation, comme de Sea
Shepherd, depuis bien longtemps, je realise que votre
action en Antarctique ne sauve pas la moindre baleine.
A bord du Farley Mowat, l'objectif premier est de
proteger chacune d'entre elle, avant de faire parler
de nous. Avec vos moyens, nous aurions deja essaye de
stopper cette chasse ILLEGALE et de faire comprendre
aux chasseurs que nous ne resterions pas les bras
croises. Alors, s'il vous plait, arretez de ne prendre
que des photos et AGISSEZ ! Pas pour Greenpeace, mais
pour l'avenir de cette planete !!!
Faites un cadeau aux baleines en ce 24 decembre
2005...
PS: Si les baleines venaient a disparaitre et que
vous n'agissiez pas, alors que vous etes sur place et
que vous en avez les moyens, vous seriez tout autant
responsables que les chasseurs japonais !"
Mathieu MAUVERNAY from France
embre d'equipage
"Kia ora crew. Well spotted aye. Keep harassing
those whalers."
Shayne McGrath from New Zealand, Aotearoa
Engineer on the Farley Mowat
"We, too, wish you all the best in your efforts to
keep the whalers from whaling!"
