The latest update from Paul Watson, captain of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society flagship vessel Steve Irwin, was posted on the group's website today. Watson tells of continued run-ins with the Shonan Maru 2, a Japanese whaling fleet ship that has been tailing the Steve Irwin since it left port en route to Antarctic waters to try to disrupt the annual whale hunt.
