BE CAREFUL OF !!



Well it took at few weeks but the pirates are now making plans to operate in the Gulf of Mexico. In the NAUTICAL LOG Press Release folder comes notice that the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society is trying to cash in on the BP oil spill. They are advertising that they are going to "train" volunteers in Hazmat and Hazwoper duties to work on the BP oil spill. NAUTICAL LOG has both trained in at Texas A&M and instructed in these duties when OPA 90 came into law. It is quite specialized training which must be conducted by qualified government authorized trainers. One doubts if SSCS has that in place and if you go along with their latest con you may find that both time and money has been wasted. Of course in the same SSCS Press Release is a begging logo for that money, this is called the OCEAN RESCUE FUND. The money will of course go for the upkeep of 'Wats-his-names' lifestyle as usual. It is your money to do with as you want, just don't waste time crying over spilt milk, or perhaps spilt oil, after you figure you've been conned.

Also remember Paul Franklin Watson is under INTERPOL Blue Notice so you could be aiding and abetting a fugitive if you give funding to his scams.

Good Watch.

PAINT LOCKER FIRES

The photographs above are revealing in several ways, lets have a look. Clearly the Japanese Maritime Self Defence Force (JMSDF) vessel JS "Kurama" impacted the Korean container ship MS "Carina Star" just aft of the turn of the fo'cs'le on the Starboard side. Please note that's the Starboard side, thus it appears JS "Kurama" would have shown "Carina Star" the red port sidelight and "Carina Star" would have shown JS "Kurama" the green starboard sidelight. This impact point would tend to suggest that JS "Kurama" was the 'stand-on' vessel and the MS "Carina Star" is the 'giving-way' vessel. Until there is a complete plot of the tracks made good of both these vessels and the position in the Kanmon Strait of the point of collision no determination can actually be made. As a result of this impact there was severe bow damage to JS "Kurama" and in addition a massive f

HOW TO WEAR A LIFEJACKET

A popular U.S.-based cruise ship style A popular European ferry style Several times during the year NAUTICAL LOG has had visitors searching for lifejacket instructions. With two just over Christmas we decided to publish something for everybody to see and read. Choose a Coast Guard approved life-jacket and make sure it is undamaged. Make sure life-jackets are readily accessible, never locked away. Check the fit, there are adult, child and infant sizes, the correct one MUST be used. Choose bright colour life-jackets so as to be seen easily by Search and Rescue (SAR). Put your life-jacket ON BEFORE you leave the berth. Make sure you have a light and whistle attached AND they BOTH WORK. Good Watch

BOUILLABAISSE

TAAF Service vessel operated by CMA CGM TAAF Regional flag Well now let us see if here at NAUTICAL LOG we have got a grasp on things simmering in the pot. It seems that when the anti-whaling campaign started out some years ago it was between Greenpeace, the Sea Shepherds and the Japanese whaling fleet. The Australians came down to their own Southern Ocean Territory in a chartered civilian vessel one year. Beyond taking photographs and returning some Sea Shepherds to their ship the MS "Steve Irwin" not much was accomplished. The Greenpeace crowd then dropped out and Animal Planet boarded the MS "Steve Irwin" to shoot 'reality TV' and so Whale Wars came into being. This resulted in some deplorable behaviour on all sides and some appalling exhibitions of seamanship - or rather total lack of seamanship by the Sea Shepherds. But now there was money coming in which could be spent on - well nobody really knows what the money is spent on. New Zealand made it q
