If you go to sea at fifteen, by sixty five you will have seen and learned a few things.\nRob Anderson certainly has.\nThey\xa0didn\u2019t talk about what Rob is doing in retirement. But they\xa0did have a hilarious discussion about his experiences as the Captain or First Mate of the various ships he has worked\xa0on.\nHe tells of experiences like towing oil rigs, and doing duty as the medical officer. \xa0There were burials at sea, and a story about what happens when you are shaving without any clothes on while travelling in rough seas. Henry\xa0challenges us\xa0to guess how that turned out. There were plenty of other stories but\xa0you know how colorful a captain of the ship can be, so Henry couldn't air those stories. \xa0Ha!\nIn the later part of the show they\xa0talk about the times Rob was the Captain of the\xa0ship, “Sea Shepherd” and he was also captain of the ship the \u201cSteve Irwin\u201d.\nSea Shepherd is the organization whose ships deliberately challenge the Japanese whaling fleet while they slaughter hundreds of whales in the name of scientific research. It was at this point that Rob became seriously serious.\nIf you are interested in conservation on land or sea, then you can possibly work with Greenpeace. \xa0 Note: \xa0We aren't recommending them, we are just giving you the information! \xa0You can also visit The Sea Shepherd website. You can get involved, donate, or\xa0purchase Sea Shepherd items.\nRob mentions that you can go on board the \u201cSteve Irwin\u201d when it is in dock at Williamstown, talk to the folks, and maybe arrange to sail with them if appropriate. \xa0(This is for you Aussies! \xa0Can I call you Aussies? \xa0I'm not sure of the protocol here.)\nJoin the\xa0discussion below. \xa0Let us know about your own\xa0ship activities and conservation efforts!\nSpecial Thanks for telling your friends about the show, leaving comments below, and sharing episodes you really like on Facebook, and reviewing the show on iTunes
