The great thing about packet communications, even deep in the southern ocean, is that you can get a short text message through extremely quickly, even if conditions aren't fantastic (say, for example, when your satellite phone works like crud...)
It never ceases to amaze me how they'll write and issue press releases, then get frustrated that they can't even get a simple position ping from another vessel. I mean, I understand, it's super easy to sucker a contributor to pitch in for satellite telephone time - after all, Paul Watson has to have his statement/interviews while in the southern ocean - much harder to talk someone into popping for internet time.
Over and over again, there's location identification problems, basic direct commands that are unable to get through, all of which could easily be handled with off the shelf communication equipment for much less than what they blow in quick telephone calls ship to ship, or ship to boat which results in zero communications in the end.

One strafing run and this show would have been off the air quicker than “Hello Larry.”

I just got home (from shopping in a monsoon) and turned it on. Just in time to hear that lovely whine of the Gojira's engines quitting again. I'm looking forward to tonight's episode.

So you’re on a helicopter in the antarctic in the fog and you can’t communicate with your mother ship.
Is that bad?

So the little boat caught the big Maru? Sometimes the dog does catch the car and has no idea what to do with it.

If they have their GPS tracker on the boat, why bother with trying to prop fouling it? To a normal person, this would be a unnecessary risk, to Capt. Coco Puffs it seem great since it is not you life at risk.
Why not track it and get video of them actually killing whales. That would be more powerful IMHO.

I love the trivia question. Two of the ships’ captains started out as chefs in the galley. I think can see Admiral Chubby’s priorities when giving promotions.

I’m betting that’s the two guys who would sneak him a greasy burger and pork rinds while the rest of the crew was eating their vegies.

They ripped another $100,000 zodiac in half. Time for another fundraiser.

Hypothermia. What idiot leaves a bunch of their crew in a small boat in the antarctic FIVE HOURS from the nearest ship?
