According to the Canadian government should Russia be one of two remaining big markets for Canadian seal products. Russia has suspended the hunt for harp seals 2009th OceanCare pleased that the Russian government is taking the next logical step, by prohibiting the import of seal skins as well.

The markets for seal products disappear worldwide. The EU trade ban has put the Canadian seal hunt a severe blow, a long-announced trade agreement with China is on seal meat yet been signed and now Russia is the customers away. The Canadian government should realize that the time for the seal hunt is over. But take care to place in time for compensation for the sealers, the Canadian government opposed the EU ban on trade with the WTO.

So! Now it's official. And I have good reasons for this: After I'm almost durchgekentert are more than 10 liters me through the open air inlets in the flooded cabin. It was just hot! Anyway, I was even then very fast growing. I have another 5 liters later found in the inner hatch.Fantastically. Toll. Fantastic. Better not. Then of course immediately spread throughout the cabin. Spills from corner to corner, under the insulation, the clothes … And at 5 to 6 feet waves, it is also impossible for the kind of stuff to dry quickly, and for wiping up somewhere to turn off the deck. Would be too easy. But I am also to blame.

I really just wanted to write something else, but a near collision with a ship appeared in the rainy night, but then a bit more exciting to me.Drenched by the rain, I set about to secure the boat to the moon rising, I saw a flashing light on the horizon. Red and white.Ok, that irritated me then first, because I had not a single ship on the AIS, and also there were no lighthouses with relevant implications on the islands. Hmmm. Strange. Perhaps a star? I mean, is not that moon and stars but not from here and make up for voltage. But definitely: red and white. No star. And there was no doubt brighter, moving in my direction … or I in his. Okay. And lo and behold, suddenly appeared on more lights. The whole horizon was filled in front of me. Starboard and port side. Sometimes abeam. Oh you *****!!!.

So that's from the head, I mean. So much has happened in recent days, but some critical situations and many incredibly beautiful moments = Information Overload. I stood next to me a little, a little bit anyway.As packed in cotton wool. But yesterday morning, after all this first surge of adrenaline and endorphins probably subsides, the euphoria faded reality, yes, I was finally where I wanted to go. Clear in his head, clearly in dreams, clear with my surroundings. I'm ready for raw, unfiltered, not gray, pink – and directly into the brain with the long needle. The dreams are so clear that I sometimes fall asleep briefly at the oars, dream, wake up, and I thought I had deliberately not been dreaming. States of consciousness are alike a level, a level where it seems. Hmmm, complicated. Well, it must not be understood. More like this! – That's all what I understand of it at the moment

The more noble the metal, the more noble the rust. Already planning a new career as a rust-and salt seller. See now that my super stainless Notmesser now even spray. Should I ever be caught in a rope, and I have to cut out there – I am typing very strongly to blood poisoning, which I will then suffer when trying.

Well, what now a sense of humor. Here, the waves rush but with particularly high crests and send to the southwest today. But should be really good on it? But I had a terrible night, and just beats mightily on the oars to the fatigue.
