Do you think thsi Peter Brown guy, 1st mate, is as much of a jackass as he seems to me? He looks in over his head but proud of it and happy in his own ignorance, going on about how technology and charts and all that are rubbish basically.
Communication on the ship continues to appear bad, too, like the boat crews not radioing in for long periods of time (happened more than once) and things like this. I guess this is what happens when you have hippies pretending to be marines. I'm surprised Paul Watson stands for it, it's kind of a hit on him that he does.
Also, these guys have really good arms on the SS but I am surprised that with the significant money they have they haven't created some kind of guns/sling shots to get better range and accuracy with their acid and stuff. They could also rig something up on the heli although that becomes risky if the Japanesse start firing back at it.
I'm surprised there isn't some kind of whale-scaring sonar that the sea shepard can use to hang around the whale ships with, too or maybe even hang that from the heli like a sub hunting heli.
I am watching Season 2 episode 3, seems the navy chick agrees with me. She drew up a communications checklist but peter brown is anti military anti-intellectual anti-education so he doesn't like it.
