Wow a clip from the Whaler Boat that's pretty cool. I like the Sea Sheppard peeps, reminds me of the old west, and they're like Sheriffs.

Or maybe the crew of the Serenity in the movie Serenity...yeah that fits better.

Whoa that's crazy! I wonder if they'll air this on the show. The usual material they show is kinda pathetic to watch. This is a serious action. It makes you wonder what the Whale Warriors would do if the other ship began to sink due to hull rupture.

Were they trying to rope the whale nets on the japanese ship?

It looks like they're trying to break the winch on the side of the whaling ship, I presume if they disabled the winches the whaler wouldn't be able to haul in their catch and would have to return for re-fitting before they could go out again.
