It's not his ...I agree with Kraig's points.<br />It's not his "ruffling feathers" which makes Jarle's conduct so reprehensible/ That's just his way of conjuring support based on the entertainment value of his antics.<br /><br />Further to what Kraig pointed out, his follow-up tactics do however have serious implications for those who aspire to sail responsibly to those parts in future.<br /><br />He makes a point of putting himself under a deep obligation to various local authorities, then manipulates the facts to repay their efforts by burying the fangs of his fans in their fannies. Fanks a lot, Jarle!<br /><br />He's on his way, inexplicably, to the Antarctic peninsula to seek yet more help. Rinse and repeat.<br />If he genuinely needed help, that would be the stupidest itinerary imaginable, given that the bases are not resourced for such help.<br />Furthermore he's heading in the wrong direction at a very wrong time of year. <br /><br />Future adventure or expedition sailors will inevitably have to suffer more stringent permit and regulatory requirements, whereas the present ones are sensible and reasonable, and administered generally with a light touch.Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13339787751990522079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-25797882092133116072012-03-20T07:28:50.668-05:002012-03-20T07:28:50.668-05:00If a mountain guide led two expeditions on success...If a mountain guide led two expeditions on successive years in which people died as a result of his or her actions, then I believe people would genuinely start to question whether or not they should be there as well.<br /><br />The permit issue isn't a simple one. Having a permit, and insurance, allows the proper authorities to know that you are there and should the need arise, come and assist you. Last year there was a massive effort expended by ships from New Zealand and the U.S. to try to find his missing vessel and it is beginning to sound like a similar search will need to be conducted again this year. <br /><br />The lack of permits is simply Andhoey's way of flaunting his disdain for the system however and the fact that he has done it again demonstrates his callous approach to travel in the Southern Ocean. The fact that three people died last year while he was operating illegally in the area was sad news indeed. The fact that it could very likely happen again this year is inexcusable. <br /><br />Using your mountain guide analogy on the permits there was an American climber a few years back who attempted to climb Everest without a permit. The man was eventually detained by authorities in Nepal, then deported and banned from climbing a Himalayan peak for 10 years. That ban is easier to enforce than preventing someone from sailing on the ocean of course, but I would support a similar ban for Jarl. <br /><br />BTW, did you know he has a mechanic aboard the ship who was not suppose to be a part of the crew? The man was aboard doing some last minute affairs and the ship left in such a hurry, in order to avoid the NZ authorities, that Andhoey and his crew didn't even realize he was there until after they got underway. They didn't return to drop the man off and now he is an unwilling passenger on this voyage. What if something happens to that man? What would you tell his family?kungfujedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724706652959523509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-21242890165567278862012-03-20T00:43:44.406-05:002012-03-20T00:43:44.406-05:00You say it is clear he should not be there but it ...You say it is clear he should not be there but it why is so clear? <br /><br />Is every climber who led an expedition where members died forever banished from the mountains? <br /><br />That aside, after reading your piece, that just leaves the permit issue.<br /><br />Is that why you are attacking the man? He has no permit?<br /><br />If not, I am not sure where your condemnation and personal attacks come from. Pretty harsh.jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702745841770626829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-6014625167494123002012-03-19T23:00:33.013-05:002012-03-19T23:00:33.013-05:00My issue with Andhoey is that he clearly doesn'...My issue with Andhoey is that he clearly doesn't shouldn't be sailing in these dangerous waters and his actions last year led to three deaths and it is possible he's leading others to their death once again.<br /><br />That said, you're right. I'd like to see them all come home safe and sound. Then he can get what he deserves.kungfujedihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724706652959523509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21096663.post-12923067656350793772012-03-19T22:51:35.661-05:002012-03-19T22:51:35.661-05:00Enjoy the blog.

Thanks for your work. <br /><br />But.<br /><br />More than a hint of sanctimony here.<br /><br />Your acrimony toward this eccentric gentleman seems to be based on him apparently not having a permit.<br /><br />Just because he is ruffling the feathers of the sailing establishment and/or professional tour operators (who run tours, not adventures) does not mean, in my book, that he is getting what he "deserves", ie when the man might well be dead or close to it.<br /><br />I hope they get home.jumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702745841770626829noreply@blogger.com
