Earthrace

[Picasso]

I didn't know this boat was in T&T. Did anyone see it on Paradise Motorsport last night ?

Any idea when this boat will grace our shores again ?

The Earthrace boat isn't some Greenpeace sponsored, treehugging tug. No! It's a treehugging, carbon/Kevlar-hulled, 1080-Horsepower, 78 foot speedboat with a sharp bow meant to harpoon waves. Apparently, submarining through the crests of waves is a lot more efficient than going up and over them. And, as Wired reported, the boat ran a section of its circumnavigation off biofuel processed from the captain's ass fat. Really.

The Paradise Motorsports interview with the Earthrace crew was filmed in Barbados, The boat never came to TNT.

Boat I believe was sank in Southern ocean when it attempted to play chicken with a japaneese Harpoon boat.

Whalewhores! will be showing it, and undoubtledy will blame the japaneese for the sinking even though the hippies were clearly wrong..

First off read and watch the vid then make claims

the Earthrace was purchased and donated to the SSCS. It was re named the Ady Gil for the benefactor who donated it. unfortunately it sank on Jan 8th 2010 off Antartica.

and errr.... robarri those hippies just also happen to an OFFICIAL auxiliary to the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard

Type Rated,

They are still hippies.. and honestly I enjoy seeing the japs kick their ass on a regular basis.. I did watch the video the day the incident happened, and actually being a Mariner, I also know a thing or two about the rules of the road and Law of the Sea. The Japaneese ship was clearly on a direct course and the earth race boat tried to intimidate them by cutting accross thier bow. (Look at the footage from the Japs).

Paul watson is a Tubby Douch bag that will end up killing one of his hippies one day and all he will do is blame it on the Japs..

The Japs have been killing whales for centuries for human consumption and they go after whales that are not under threat.

What makes them different from the Trini Poultry farmer or Pig farmer..or cow farmer??

Anyway, the show whale whores is a little entertaining, especially when something goes worng and the hippies start crying, like when the Japs Harpooned and dispatched one of the whales right in front of them...

Stop lookin only at the environmentalists websites and read the real news.

Looking forward to more action from the Japs...
