If you still believe everything I say what do you think about the “Hostage” situation that happened on the same voyage. I sent two crew members over to the Japanese vessel and when they went aboard I took off as fast as I could so the Japanese could not return them. Then I told every news agency that would listen that the crew members had been taken hostage. If you don’t believe me just read what my first officer on that voyage, Peter Brown, had to say about the incident.

“Though the incident began when someone from a Japanese whaling vessel allegedly shot Paul Watson, the Sea Shepherd’s controversial founder, it only became a “hostage” situation, Brown admits, when he turned the Steve Irwin around and left the scene so the Japanese would be forced to hold the two crewmen longer.

“It’s all giant street theater,” Brown said.”

Don’t believe everything I saw Eric. If fact it might be prudent not to believe anything I say.
