its a difficult one to call, does look like the abi gal is still and the japanese turn to ram them, but as already pointed out it is in a heavy rolling sea.

japanese have broken one rule though of not responding to a distress signal.

Seems to me that the japs do head towards the Gil, but it's the activists that do the last bit of moving to cause the actual collision. They can't really complain much, they've done plenty of ramming before!

That said, I'm totally on their side. Shame they wrecked the Ady Gil so soon, but i hope they carry on with what they do and eventually manage to stop the whaling!
