Protest Vessel in Trouble - Will blame political harassment???

Wow - the same "so ironic you can't make jokes" line applies, even more so...

Remember the Sea Shepherds? (See the blog entry immediately below.) They said Transport Canada was politically harassing them, because they were refused clearance to leave harbour until their boat was made seaworthy.

The boat finally left, only to take on water and require rescue from the Canadian Coast Guard - a division of Transport Canada.

Word is they've made it back to harbour safely. But there is no word on whether Transport Canada delivered an official "Haha, I told you so" memo.
