Our ship, the Steve Irwin, is in final preparations as we get ready to head south to confront the illegal Japanese whalers, who are currently on their way to the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. In the meantime, Animal Planet's TV series chronicling last year's whale defense campaign has reached millions of people in the U.S. and Canada- be sure to tune in this Friday (U.S.) and Sunday (Canada) for the 3rd episode, which continues to expose the atrocities committed against whales. Sea Shepherd in Final Preparations as the Whale Killers Set Sail The Yakuza owned and controlled Japanese whaling fleet has left Japan in a very low key manner, without the traditional celebratory send-off, with fewer crewmembers, and with less support than years before. They are also departing on the threshold of a major recession in the Japanese economy.The Sea Shepherd ship, Steve Irwin, is scheduled to depart at the end of November, which should put both the whaling fleet and the Sea Shepherd crew on a course that will bring them together somewhere in the remote and hostile waters off the Antarctic coast in mid-December.
