The whalers were very well prepared for SS that season, and most of what Watson and his crew did to stop ships amounted to about the same as if I tried to topple a skyscrapper by ramming it with my shoulder. They couldn't get their rotten butter bombs onto the mothership, they failed to use a prop fouler three times, and when it does work they disable a ship for, maybe, an hour at best.<br /><br />In the end I think it's an indication that while, yes, the Steve Irwin's presence in the South Seas have an impact it might not be as much of an impact as they claim.
