The little racing vessel was dead in the water, as any experienced seaman can see.

What’s that white wake coming out of the back of the Ady?”
How much time you spent at sea?
Don’t these Sea Shepherds have any respect for Bob Barker’s money?
VESSELS THAT ARE SITTING STILL DON’T PRODUCE MOTION WAKES.
4 portions
4 slices of whalemeat @ 150 - 180 g
Salt and pepper, preferably freshly ground
4 onion rings
2 dessert spoonfulls of finely diced green or red peppers
1 dessert spoonful of finely diced parsley
1 dessert spoonful of finely diced gherkins
Carve the meat into slices of about 1.5 to 2 cm thick, beat them with your hands and press them into shape. Preheat the frying pan and melt some butter in it. Brown the butter before adding the meat. Fry the steaks on both sides. Whale meat should be fried for about 4-5 minutes on each side. The steaks taste best when they are medium rare, but they should be warmed right through and not eaten raw. Serve the steaks on a plate, place an onion ring on each of them and fill it with peppers, parsley and gherkins. Potato scollops taste good together with the steaks. Serve with a bowl of good, crisp lettuce and salad.
That rooster tail from the center?
THAT is produced by the racing vessel’s prop.
Prove it.
His bathtub doesn’t count.
Mouthwatering!
When ‘Chihiro’ turns up on my doorstep in a month’s time, I hope she can cook.
Very tasty.
And (on an entirely different topic) it's long past time for tar and feathers.

Why, don’t you know?
Quite a lot, I have a 26' Savannah Cat and a vacation home on the gulf coast. I know exactly what an accelerating wake looks like- specifically the split you see here is textbook of a Kelvin wake pattern (the V you see which indicates acceleration).
For the last several years the Sea Shepherds have tried to deploy a “prop fouler” to disable the Japanese ships. They have cut across the bow of the Japanese ship with an inflatable boat and deployed a line with floats on it in the hope it would snag in the prop of the Japanese ship. They have been completely unsuccessful.
IIRC correctly from reading about the collision, that is what the Ady Gill was trying to do. So that explains why the AG accelerated across the bow of the Japanese ship at the last minute.
Anyone who tries to disable another ship on the high seas is a criminal. The end.
At age 17 I shipped out on the Oregon Mail 2 wekks after graduating from high school. Continued to ship out summers in college, during winter break and some years after college. What, you want me to fax you a copy of my seamen’s papers, my Z card?
Better I should private mail you of what’s happening from Puntarenas to Inchon to Nawiliwili to Mindinao. You want confirmation, captain? There’s your confirmation.
The guys in the Ady Gil wouldn’t have been in any trouble if they hadn’t hit the throttle.
If they’d stayed away and not tried to run across in front of the whaler, they’d still have the stupid overpriced trimaran.
They were trying to drop a net or similar device to foul the prop on the whaler.
THEY DESERVED IT.
Next time, Harpoon their darn vessels and sink them.
Heck, have the Japanese defence forces sink them.
Instead of blowing about the unverifiable, why don’t you offer an explanation of that white stuff in the water behind the Ady Gil? That might be more profitable ... and might better establish your bonafides to hold forth on all things nautical.
I call BS.
Vessels that are dead in the water don’t produce prop wakes.
The Ady Gil closed with the whaler and got what it deserved.
Deck? I suspect not. And no small craft experience either I’ll bet. And no command experience either.
YOu don’t even need to analyze static images, the video shows they were stopped then at about the ten second mark, the ‘rooster tail’ kicks up and they accelerate right into the boat.

The acceleration at the 10 second mark forward is very obvious.
But I know that even video proof won’t bother this apologist of a Soros funded group.
