Today I spent some time with my wife and children. I haven't seen them in almost three years as I've been out at sea doing Whale genocide.
You may be wondering why I don't take the opportunity to visit my family while my ship is being unloaded of Whale meat. After all, it normally takes a good two days to completely unload the ship and re-gear it for another expedition.
The answer is, I have two Whaling ships! As soon as the first ship pulls into port I jump over to the deck of the second ship and we set off! I don't want to waste one second in the fight against Whale tyranny.
This time though, both ships are in need of a new coat of paint. Those Sea Shepard terrorists have been throwing red paint onto the hull and after a while that begins to look messy.
Before visiting my family I checked to see if there were any other Whaling ships about to set off that I might be able to stow away on and assist with Whale culling. However all that is in port this week are coal freighters and tug boats.
It might have been possible to use a tug boat to motor over the top of a surfaced whale, however I discovered that when a tug boat goes missing the other tug boat pilots in the harbor quickly notice. They then pursue you, intercept you and then "tug" you back into port. (However not before a certain Whaler dives overboard from his commandeered tug boat, discards his fake beard, and wades casually onto the shore.)
So with almost no other alternatives I made my way home and I am now spending two days with the family.
Please let me know what any of you would do in this situation.
Update : Reader WhalesSuck495 writes that I could be even more efficient if I were to have the second ship meet me out at sea just as the first one was finishing it's catch. Normally that would be the case WS495 but once my ship is in an area and finishing up the catch, it means that there are no more Whales for at least 150 nautical miles radius. So there's clearly no point in having a second ship arrive there.
