It's Not Nice to Fool with Mother Nature


QUOTE:

Bad weather has defeated a pressure group's bid to blockade a UK military port in an anti-war protest.

The Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior anchored in front of Marchwood port in Southampton on Monday in a bid to stop a supply ship joining the Royal Navy Task Group heading to the Gulf.

But heavy winds and bad weather have caused the campaign ship to slip its anchor and ground itself in the harbour waters, according to a Navy spokesman.

Greenpeace says a decision on whether to continue the blockade will be made on safety grounds by the captain of the Rainbow Warrior.

OK, when did the environmental action group, Greenpeace, become an anti-war group? Talk about mission creep! At least they can count on the Special Boat Service to not come out and blow up their ship, unlike the French, who seem to take this sort of thing very personally.

Captain, anchors away doesn"t apply until you're leaving. You're supposed to leave the anchor down when you're parked.
