Disclaimer & comment rulesAndhoy is a complete idiot and a danger to others as well as himself. He is a law unto himself, completely ignores both the unwritten brotherhood of the sea and the law.
Mar 19th, 2012 - 12:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Just have a google. His seamanship sucks and nobody should sail with him. If he wants to die a vikings death at sea then he should do it alone.
I always thought it was considered rude to take your friends with you when you committed suicide?
Mar 19th, 2012 - 01:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Worse he is happy to (and has) sacrificed others lives due to his own stupidity.
Mar 19th, 2012 - 01:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Beserk incident is a prime example. He was apparently pissed off that somebody had smuggled an EPIRB on board (even after they died!!!!!). It was a shame that he was off Snowmobiling at the time.

The argentinians should simply impound his boat as unseaworthy and make the idiot walk home.........
Mar 19th, 2012 - 10:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Raging. His expedition is not a dare, is stupid.
Mar 20th, 2012 - 12:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0We throw this idiot in jail or extradite him, who returns to New Zealand, which has escaped without fulfilling the formalities.
His friend and radio agent, Olsgaard, Viking Hells Angel, reads as follows:

Much thank you.
Mar 20th, 2012 - 09:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0His friend and radio agent, Olsgaard, Viking Hells Angel, reads as follows:
“I do not expect any trouble with authorities of South America, because everyone wants to help a vessel in distress.
Or should be so.”
...everyone except Andhoy - who criticised the efforts of both the NZ Navy and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (who sailed where the NZ Navy dared not go) when they tried to find his missing yacht.
Mar 20th, 2012 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0People risked their lives for this muppet and he just doesn't care. He takes all and gives nothing.
This is the best article I've read about the incident with the Beserk where his three crew died:

This is Andhoy's response to it:

The whole rescue effort was filmed in a stunning episode of Whale Wars.
I have a particular interest in this as I have a boat - though thankfully not one with boring stuff like sails on it.
' the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (who sailed where the NZ Navy dared not go)
Mar 20th, 2012 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Thats news to me.... was that according to the SSCS? The news I saw at the time had HMNZS Wellington 'on location' so to speak and there was no mention of SSCS.
That may have been unfair to HMNZS Wellington. They had a go but the storm was the worst in 30 years and it ripped aerials, lights, tannoys and 3 life rafts from their deck so they had to retreat. It was also the night of the NZ earthquake so they were needed elsewhere.
Mar 20th, 2012 - 05:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It was the Steve Irwin that found the life raft from the Berserk and the SSCS recieved a commendattion from the NZ coast guard for their efforts.

It was the only episode of Whale Wars where you truly admired the SSCS. They risked thier lives for men who didn't really deserve it.
OK..thanks ..didn't know that. What Andhoy's mouthpiece doesn't seem to know is that the obligation is to save lives not property.....
Mar 20th, 2012 - 08:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I recall some mad man some years ago set off from Bluff to row around the world. After being rescued for the third time they confiscated his boat.
Question was asked ' is that legal?'
Answer ' Probably not but its the only way we will stop him doing it again........
Quotate idlehans1: “nobody should sail with him”
Mar 20th, 2012 - 08:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nobody does sails with him exept:
A Ruso “capitain” who exist only in Anhoy imagination
A teenager boy
A politic agitoator who go on board to fix anclar using his bandera but insted take invisily napping and wake up in Antartida with no pasaporte
Even miembre of an organizaacion delincuence & droga & specialista in violacion in group of womans (no not Viking: Hells Angeles) - even he dose'nt sail any mor with Anhoy
Yes, I suppose he lacks judgment. But what I find truly striking is how, even at the ends of the earth, one cannot be free of the everpresent reach of government bureaucrats. The vast, remote and violent southern ocean affords no respite from these maggots, even if one is prepared to risk loss of life (no EPIRB) as the price. How tragic for the seafarer; Shackleton would be appalled.

Mar 21st, 2012 - 11:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When remains noones like this one who puts always in front their own patalogia and intereses, then it wills be time to incarcelate the bureucrats who persegue them.
There purpose is to be shepedogs not maggots but sometime they must be on the back side of some sheepes.
Until all sheepes be responsable lyke Shakleton, you must not throw away all sheepedogs just becuase some not to be razonable.
He would be more appalled by mad sheepe lyke Jarle thn bureucrats who in this case seme more then razonable, I it think.
