July 3rd, 2014



This has always been one of my favorite quotes, and seems to apply over and over..

So as you guessed its raining again, which means a boring day of patrol. But boring is good over here. We wish for boring. Boring means card games, peanut butter, and whales swimming free.

Irwin is here but he's going to another team, but it was still really cool to meet him and chat with him for a little bit. Irwin, for those who don't know, is infamous in the Sea Shepherd world and has been on many campaigns. I've been watching his work with SS for years, so having the chance to see him and talk with him was really surreal. He arrived late at night, when Sarah, Heiko, and I were heading out to do a night patrol.

Night patrols had been occurring on the other teams for the entire campaign, but our team had a shortage of people so we decided it was better to sleep and rest then be tired during the day. Although the boat teams with even a smaller amount of people didn't have a choice. But when threats grew, and the hostility of the people did as well, night patrols were no longer an option. But we were more then happy to step up. I mean just look at are night attire. There's not many night patrols were you can go in your pajamas and sunglasses at the same time. Sometimes the Faroese radio even played Enrique Iglesias



We got a glimpse at a sunset for the first time this campaign as well.
