That is primarily a semantic argument.

Interestingly Enough, I had a chat with Captain Paul Watson (guy with white hair) On Facebook and told him of the original drawing Done by DP and Rickdog, along with a post of my work on the new camouflage. He was appreciative and honored.

On a side note, he is a fellow Washingtonian (someone from Washington State).

That's much better than mine (*adoring look*), but the camouflage blue and grey are a bit dark. I've seen and met the Captain once in Melbourne, lovely guy !

Are you sure they have an MD500 and not a smaller Schweizter like I recall seeing from the show?

Rodondo, your work is just as good, but I copied the Paint from one of the pictures and matched the shades. You are a lucky guy, you actually met him, as I have yet to. I would love to get aboard the Steve Irwin.

Perhaps I should have clarified my position on their assclownery:

I don't particularly agree or disagree with their position or activities, what I abhor is the deplorable amateurism in their seamanship and boat handling. I've watched their activites in various media, and its evident there's a lot they do not know about their ship or the sea. I dislike carelessness, ignorance even less when it needlessly places lives at risk. A willingness to die for your cause is no justification for preventable accidents.

You can find youtube videos of them almost decapitating a deck handler with their helo (when they failed to release all the tie-downs), and dump a chase vessel full of people because they didn't know how to get it into the water over the side.

If they would rehearse their activities before going after the whalers they'd have far fewer incidents and accidents, and would probably look far more effective and determined in the public eye.

That aside, the drawing is very nice. Camouflage takes far more time and care to get it to look right.

No problem Redhorse, a criticism of poor seamanship is outside of politics.
