Tomorrow, on the 16th of December, I set sail to Antarctica aboard the M/Y Steve Irwin to protect the whales of the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
For the next few months we'll be sailing around the Southern Ocean with the objective of finding the illegal Japanese Whaling Fleet and shutting them down before they can kill a single whale.
This will be my second trip down South, after last years success where our 4 vessels were able to save the lives of 932 whales, and we're hoping for a zero-kill year this time around.

Otherwise, speak to you next year.
